Wave spring washer that is also known
as wave washer is one of the best load wearing washers in the market today.
They are excellent instruments for greater load bearing capability because of
their sharper curve format and are primarily used in thrust loading
applications in the areas where radial space is limited and small deflections
are common. The waves can range from 3 to more than 6 as per the specification
required by customers. By increasing the waves, the thickness is reduced for
any given load.
In market, these washers are made
available by various wave spring washersuppliers in copper crescent, spring steel crescent and stainless crescent
with different plating like plating of nickel, black oxide, tin, zinc, cadmium
or with other metals as well.
A very typical example of it is axial
loading of ball bearings. These washers are generally made from stainless steel
and have a very fine finish having either mechanical plating or is electroplated
through which possibility of hydrogen embrrittlement is reduced. Other main
applications of wave spring are in automotive, off-Highway, aerospace, medical
as well as oil and gas industry.
Main products in the industries which
wave spring washer suppliers have made
available to their customers are:
·
Flow Valve Application: Crest to crest wave
spring here controls if any linear displacement occurs in piston as fluid
pressure increases.
·
Pressure Relief Valve: With the increase in air
pressure, spring load also increases; forcing the plate away from sealing
surface and when pressure decreases, the seal also gets closed.
·
Water Valve: Here, spring is used to
prevent the valve handle from rotating by engaging the thread on main shaft and
maintaining a constant load.
·
Multi Tooth Cutter: Here specialized springs
are made which apply pressure to the two cutter halves allowing them to
oscillate.
