Description
Advantages
- Precise loading with greater deflection than Belleville springs: Wavo springs provide accurate loading with greater deflection compared to Belleville springs.
- Economical and available in carbon steel and stainless steel: They are cost-effective and available in both carbon steel and stainless steel variants.
- Fit into tight radial and axial spaces with linear force: Suitable for tight radial and axial spaces while delivering linear force.
- Custom designs available at no machining charge: Custom designs of Wavo springs can be obtained without additional machining fees.
Applications
- Used in assemblies for deviations resulting from tolerance variations: Ideal for applications where tolerance differences in assemblies need to be accommodated.
- Preloading for mechanical assemblies with increased force to reduce or eliminate vibrations: Effective for applying preload to mechanical assemblies to reduce or eliminate vibrations.
- Compensation for clearances due to thermal expansion of assembled components: Capable of compensating for clearances caused by thermal expansion of assembled components.
Design:
- Fits within 25% of the radial space required by Belleville: Occupies only 25% of the radial space required by Belleville springs, optimizing space usage.
- Theoretical value is accurate until the spring reaches a constant height. See chart: The load/deflection characteristics of Wavo springs remain accurate until reaching a constant height, as shown in the provided chart.
- Materials: carbon steel and stainless steel 17-7 PH/C. Alternative materials available upon request: Available in carbon steel and stainless steel 17-7 PH/C, with other materials available upon request.
Commonly used in vibration isolators, Wavo springs effectively dampen vibrations resulting from equipment operation under constant load, providing precise and predictable load/deflection curves.
