Key Characteristics:
Flat Wire Construction:
Wave springs are typically made from flat, pre-hardened spring wire.
On-Edge Coiling:
The wire is coiled on its edge, creating a wave-like pattern that provides the spring action.
Bending Force:
When compressed, the waves flatten, generating a spring force through bending.
Space Efficiency:
Wave springs can achieve the same spring force as a coil spring but with significantly less height, making them ideal for space-constrained applications.
Variety of Configurations:
Wave springs can be found in single-turn, multi-turn, and nested designs, each offering different characteristics for various applications.
Applications:
Wave springs are used in a wide range of industries, including:
Advantages:
Compact Design:
They offer a significant space-saving advantage compared to traditional coil springs.
Precise Load Control:
They can be designed to provide a specific and consistent spring force.
Versatility:
They are available in various materials and configurations to suit different applications.
No-Tooling Costs:
Many manufacturers offer wave springs with no tooling costs, allowing for economical prototyping and customization.
In essence, wave springs are a versatile and space-efficient solution for a variety of applications where compression springs are needed, particularly in situations where space is limited and precise force control is required.
