Wave Washers

 

 

Fasteners LLP, a premier name as a manufacturer of wave washers and supply of industrial components, takes pride in presenting its expertise in Wave Washers, a vital component in various mechanical assemblies. Washers, fundamental in engineering, are small, thin plates with holes typically used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener. They prevent damage to surfaces and offer stability to joints by distributing forces evenly.
Wave Washers, a specialized type among the family of washers, exhibit unique characteristics distinguishing them from conventional flat washers. Their distinct waveform design allows for greater flexibility and provides a spring-like action when compressed axially, making them an ideal choice in applications requiring flexibility, shock absorption, and load retention.

What are Wave Washers?

Wave Washers, also known as wave springs or coiled wave springs, derive their name from their wave-like structure. These washers feature a series of flat waves formed in a circular pattern, which enables them to provide a spring-like function when compressed. Unlike traditional helical springs, wave washers offer a more compact design due to their structure, making them suitable for applications with limited space or where a lighter load is preferred.
