Wave Springs

Features of Multi Turn Wave Springs

1.It is suitable for occasions with large stroke and small load.
2.Compared with ordinary helical compression springs, at least about half of the space can be saved when bearing similar loads;
3.It can reduce the overall volume of the equipment and save costs;
4.Ideal for places where axial space is limited;
5.The use requirements of different loads can be met by changing the thickness and width of the material or making two or three layers of overlapping wave springs.
Wave spring washers mainly include steel wave springs for single-layer motors and multi turn wave springs, among which multi turn wave springs are also called multi-layer wave washers. It is a multi-layer metal sheet ring and each layer of the ring has multiple peaks and valleys elastic metal elements, usually used in spacecraft, bearings, flow valves, pressure valves, clutches, vibration isolators, axial piston pumps, drives and other equipment.
Since the overall and working height of the wave spring is lower than that of conventional round wire springs, the space size of the components can be reduced by up to 50%. Lisheng wave spring is made of 17-7PH stainless steel, which has the characteristics of high tensile strength and fatigue resistance, and its high stress performance is better than that of carbon steel spring. The wave spring can be used in a working environment of up to 200°C. It has been passivated while maintaining its corrosion resistance, and its appearance is also very bright and beautiful.

Multi Turn Wave Springs of Different Materials

Multi-turn wave springs can be made from a variety of materials, each with their own unique properties. Some common materials used to make multi-turn wave springs include:
Stainless Steel: This is a popular choice due to its corrosion resistance, durability, and ability to withstand high temperatures. It is also relatively low-cost compared to other materials.
Inconel: This is a nickel-chromium alloy that is highly resistant to corrosion and can withstand high temperatures. It is commonly used in aerospace and industrial applications.
Titanium: This is a lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant metal that is often used in aerospace and medical applications.
Phosphor bronze: This is a copper-tin alloy that is known for its good spring properties and corrosion resistance. It is commonly used in electronic and electrical applications.
-BeCu: (Beryllium Copper) it’s a copper alloy with high spring properties and corrosion resistance.
The choice of material will depend on the specific requirements of the application, including the operating conditions, load requirements, and desired service life.
