What is Overlap or Gap Wave Spring Washer?

Definition and characteristics of single turn wave spring
Single turn wave spring, also known as single-layer wave coil, is usually divided into notch type and lap type spring, which can provide accurate force value when deforming, and is suitable for working conditions with small axial space. The traditional stamping wave coil expands its outside diameter during compression, and there is interference with the matching hole. However, the notched and lap type single-layer wave coil, when the outside diameter expands, The expansion can be absorbed through a notch or notch to avoid interference problems. It is usually made of metal materials, such as stainless steel, spring steel, etc. Its shape presents a complete sine wave, and this special structure gives it excellent elastic properties.
Application of single turn wave spring washer
Because of its excellent performance, single-layer wave spring has been widely used in many fields. In the automobile industry, the single-layer wave coil is often used in the new energy vehicle drive motor, clutch and other parts.
In the field of industrial machinery, single-layer wave springs can be used for various shock absorption devices, sealing components and elastic support parts of precision instruments. In addition, in high-tech fields such as aerospace and electronic equipment, single-layer spring also plays an important role
Manufacturing technology of wave spring
The manufacturing process of single turn overlap or gap wave spring washer is complicated and needs to be completed through multiple processes. First of all, select the appropriate raw materials, roll into the suitable flat wire, coil forming.
Subsequently, heat treatment is performed to improve the performance and stability of the wave spring. Finally, the surface treatment and precision testing of the wave spring are carried out to ensure that it meets the relevant quality standards and technical requirements.
