Single Turn Wave Springs

This is a full Product listing on each available Single Turn Wave Spring size, for additional information, please do not hesitate to ask.

All Wave Springs are made from SAE 1075 Spring Steel, as the default base material. It is hardened by quenching and then tempered to reach Rockwell C hardness of between 46-50. Alternatively we use AISI 301 stainless steel, and can use INCONEL x 750 for environments with high ambient temperatures.

The following abbreviations are used in the Product Tables Below:

D_i : Inner Diameter with no Load
D_e : Outer Diameter with no Load
D_Load : Outer Diameter expansion under Load
t : Material Thickness
D is the Mean Diameter and is the average of the diameters:: (D_i+D_e divided by 2)
b is the Radial width of the washer
L₀ is the unloaded free height of the wave spring
W_PL is the travel to Preload (s is also used) or deflection - the difference between, L₀, material thickness and H_PL
H_PL, is the Nominal Height of the Wave Spring at Preload
Load_PL, is the Load at the Preload Setting
σ_PL - Stress Induced at Preload
WT_obs is the working deflection/travel to Load, the difference between, L₀, t and H_L
H_L is the Nominal Height of the Wave Spring at maximum design load
P_obs and P_der - Testing Observed Load vs Theoretical
σ_L - Stress Induced at Design Load
k is the Spring Rate - derived from 1st Principles and by definition
We finish off with Fatigue Data, Ratio and Life measured in cycles
