Wave Washer, Wave Springs

HEGONG manufactures standard and custom wave springs and wave spring washers for applications requiring controlled axial load in limited installation space. Available designs include single-turn, multi-turn and nested configurations for preload, tolerance compensation, vibration control and compact spring assemblies.

Compared with conventional coil springs, a properly designed wave spring can provide the required spring force and deflection with a lower working height, making it suitable for compact mechanical assemblies where axial space is limited.

We manufacture standard wave spring washers and support custom wave spring designs with outside diameters from 5 mm to 200 mm, with spring geometry, material, load and working height selected according to your application requirements.

Description

Wave Spring/Wave Washer Manufacturer

Wave Washer Manufacturer is a precise elastic element, which is suitable for mounting in the parts with limited installation space and stiffness requirements that other elastic elements cannot meet. Due to its unique structural form, the total height and working height of the wave spring are lower than traditional elastic elements, so it can reduce the space size of the parts and the overall cost of the product, and has an excellent performance.


Due to its unique processing technology, our wave washer manufacturer can meet various requirement about mechanical properties and fatigue life by adjusting design parameters. We can also customize wave washer and wave spring of any structure types with an outer diameter of 5mm-200mm. Contact us for detailed information of custom service of wave spring.


Types Of Wave Spring/Wave Washer 

Single-Turn Wave Springs

Single-turn wave springs provide spring force within a very short axial space and are commonly used for light-to-medium preload and short-deflection applications.

They are particularly suitable for:

  • Bearing preload

  • Axial tolerance compensation

  • Vibration and rattle control

  • Compact mechanical assemblies

Available configurations include partially overlapping, open-gap and closed single-turn designs.

Multi-Turn Wave Springs

Multi-turn wave springs provide greater deflection than single-turn designs while maintaining a compact working height.

They are suitable where the application requires:

  • Longer spring travel

  • Lower spring rate

  • Controlled load over a wider deflection range

  • Replacement of conventional coil springs in space-limited assemblies

Multi-turn designs can also be manufactured with shim ends to provide a flatter contact surface and more uniform force distribution.

Nested Wave Springs

Nested wave springs use multiple parallel layers to increase load capacity while maintaining a short working stroke.

They are suitable for applications requiring:

  • Higher spring force

  • Limited axial space

  • Short deflection

  • Stable load distribution


Applications of Wave Spring/Wave Washer 

● Wave washers absorb shocks or maintain the load. Wave washers are commonly used as cushion spacers between parts on the shaft. They are also widely used in smartwatches, home appliances, as compensators, shock absorbers, ball bearings, as a cost-saving replacement to disc springs, etc.

● Single-turn wave washer is good for bearing preload for medium forces and short deflection. These are the best load-bearing washers available that help in the functioning of ball bearings, improve the performance of ball bearings, and lengthen its life.

● Wave washers can aid in operational disparities of machines and act as a compensator for these machines preventing any unwanted vibrations or unwanted movements happening as a result of misalignments.

● When used with bolts and screws, wave washers help in preventing any loss of friction that can result in pieces getting unattached or falling out.


HEGONG Disc Spring Manufacture is a professional wave washer manufacturer in China, offering a wide range of wave springs washer manufactured in accurate dimension, rugged construction, fine finish and long-lasting from best quality raw material. The advantages of wave coil are to provide lower work height and lighter in weight. If you are looking for the high-quality wave washer supplier, please feel free to contact us for a best solution.

How to Select the Right Wave Spring

Wave spring selection should be based on the actual working condition rather than diameter alone.

For engineering evaluation, the following parameters are normally required:

Design ParameterInformation Required
Outside diameterMaximum available OD
Inside diameterShaft or minimum ID requirement
Free heightUncompressed spring height
Working heightInstalled or compressed height
Required loadTarget spring force at working height
DeflectionRequired axial travel
MaterialBased on temperature, corrosion and fatigue requirements
Service cyclesStatic, low-cycle or repeated operation
Working environmentTemperature, moisture, chemicals or other exposure
QuantityPrototype, small batch or production quantity

If an existing standard size does not meet your load or installation requirements, HEGONG can evaluate a custom wave spring configuration.


Wave Spring Designs and Configurations

HEGONG supplies several wave spring and wave washer structures for different installation and load requirements:

Single-Turn Wave Washer with Partially Overlapping Ends

The overlapping-end structure allows the ends to move relative to each other during compression, reducing the risk of binding during operation.

Single-Turn Wave Washer with Gap

The open-gap design allows the spring to deflect without the ends interfering with each other.

Closed Single-Turn Wave Washer

A closed-ring wave washer with multiple waves around the circumference for compact axial preload applications.

Multi-Turn Peak-to-Peak Wave Spring

Designed for applications requiring greater deflection and controlled spring force over a longer working travel.

Multi-Turn Wave Spring with Shim Ends

Flat shim ends provide a 360-degree contact surface and help distribute force more evenly against adjacent components.

Nested Wave Spring

Parallel nested layers increase spring force while maintaining a compact working height.


 Six-Configuration Drawing Table

No.Structure FormDrawingFeature
1Single-turn wave washer with partially overlapping

Wave Springs

When the wave spring of this structure continues to be deformed by force, the two ends of the lap will move closer to each other to avoid binding and breaking.
2Single-turn wave washer with gap

Wave Springs

The gap structure avoids the situation of being constrained and broken during work
3Closed Single-turn wave washer

Wave Springs

Single turn, closed ring, the wave number is not less than 3 waves.
4Multi-turn (Peak to Peak) wave washer

Wave Springs

With peak to peak structure, it could meet the requirements of greater deflection and higher precision.
5Multi-turn (Peak to Peak) wave washer with Shim Ends

Wave Springs

The structure has a 360°contact surface, in the case of stress, the shim ends makes the force distribution more uniform under stress.The overall part structure is more stable.
6Nested wave washer

Wave Springs

Nested wave springs have higher load force and higher precision than other elastic elements.
