Wave Washer
Wave Washer
Wave washers are widely used in various mechanical equipment, electronic devices, bearing preloads, and other areas, especially where precise control of axial load or vibration damping is needed.
A wave washer is a type of elastic washer with a wavy or undulating shape, typically used to provide a slight axial preload or cushioning effect. Its main characteristic is its wave-like or curved structure, allowing it to produce some elasticity and displacement under pressure.
Features
1. Elasticity: The wave structure helps absorb minor vibrations and impact forces, offering good elasticity.
2. Axial Force: It can generate axial force between fasteners like bolts and nuts, preventing loosening.
3. Compactness: Suitable for space-constrained applications, and it is more lightweight compared to other spring washers.
Applications
Wave washers are widely used in various mechanical equipment, electronic devices, bearing preloads, and other areas, especially where precise control of axial load or vibration damping is needed.
