Wave spring washers can be provided in four, six, and even eight waves if needed. Willie Washer stocks many of these along with several other wave washer variations. Wave spring washers that feature multiple waves are able to handle additional spring loads with less compression. Wave washers that include fewer waves are able to handle lower spring loads and are susceptible to higher compression. The same basic rules apply: simply adjust the material thickness or other dimensions of the wave spring washer for higher or lower spring rates. Wave washers can be used to reduce rattle or noise in assemblies. Wave washers can also be utilized in compensating for tolerance variations and also to load ball bearings. Wave spring washers can be supplied in spring steel, stainless steels, and bronze. Wave washers are available in finishes such as phosphate & oil, zinc, or black oxide. We recommend selecting a wave washer that meets the specifications and requirements of your project.
