Single Wave Spring Washer

Ideal when required spring or deflection range is small and axial space is limited.

Single wave spring washer.

Often purchased alongside our metal standard hex nuts. Single wave spring washers support relatively light loads with a relatively wide deflection range. Ideal for applications requiring flexibility frequent load cycling and light loads. These are available in mild steel or natural acetal.

Single wave washers crescent crescent washers deliver the most consistent spring rate over the widest deflection range. Three wave washers provides greater load bearing capacity than a single wave washer but has a smaller deflection range. Wave springs reduce spring height by 50. Single wave spring washer.

Gap type wave springs available in carbon and stainless steel from 3 250 to 7 750 diameters. Choose from steel spring steel and stainless steel wave washers in a wide range of dimensions to fit different bolt sizes. Smalley offers 3 different series of single turn wave springs from stock. Same force and deflection as ordinary coil compression springs.

Spring washers are designed to deflect in application creating more friction with the assembly and reducing the risk of the bolt or nut coming loose. Its irregular shape helps provide pressure to secure the fit and prevent loosening of the bolt or. With three points of surface contact these washers provide more stability than single wave washers. A wave washer also known as a spring washer is a fastener that has a single double triple or multiple waved shaped body.

Split lock washer assortments as a screw is tightened these washers flatten to add tension to the joint and prevent loosening from small amounts of vibration. Wave springs fit tight radial and axial spaces over 4 000 standard springs in carbon and stainless steel 188 to 16 5 mm to 400 mm diameters no tooling charges on custom designs 118 to 120 3 mm to 3000 mm diameters. Gap and overlap type wave springs available in both carbon and stainless steel from 1 2 to 16 diameters. Triple wave washers have a greater load bearing capacity than single wave washers but have a smaller diameter.

Spring washers single wave. Single wave spring washers are similar to crescent washers but they have a flat bearing surface for applications that need to minimize abrasion to soft assemblies or surfaces. It is used to provide flexibility cushioning and noise reduction and may help for variations in tolerance.
