Wave washers (or
wave springs) are wavy metal
washers designed to provide a
compensating spring force and
sustain a load or absorb shock.
Wave washers are commonly called
spring washers. Wave washers
are disks of metal that are
formed in an irregular shape.
When the washer is loaded it
deflects, acts like a spring,
and provides a preload between
two surfaces.
Important dimensions to consider
when specifying the size of wave
washers are:
-
Inside & Outside
Diameter: The inside and
outside diameter are the
most important dimensions.
-
Thickness or Working
Height: The thickness or
working height refers to
either the thickness of the
washer material, or the
working height (installed
height) for the product.
-
Rated or
Working Load: The rated
or working load is the
maximum or optimal working
load for the product. Wave
washers are often rated at
50% compression.
