Crest to Crest Wave Springs

Crest to Crest Wave Springs also known as wave-shaped pressure spring or spiral wave spring, similar to the shape of a common cylindrical spiral spring, wave-shaped flat wire crest of the peak spiral around the system. After heat treatment and surface treatment, excellent elasticity and toughness.

Crest to crest wave spring has the following features:

1. Can be application  for large travel, small load situations.

2. Compared to ordinary spiral compression spring, to withstand a similar load can save at least half the space.

3. Can reduce the overall size of the device, cost savings.

4. Ideal for places where axial space is limited.

5. By changing the thickness of the material, width or made of two or three overlapping wave spring to meet the requirements of different load.

Due to the above advantages, the top wave spring in many occasions has gradually replaced the conventional cylindrical coil spring.

Crest to crest wave spring Materials:

The crest to crest wave spring and spring clips can use a variety of materials, such as spring steel, stainless steel, special occasions will also use copper alloy and high temperature alloys and other materials. Commonly used on the market today for the top wave-shaped spring material for carbon spring steel, alloy spring steel, stainless steel 304,316,17-7PH, etc.

Crest to crest wave springs application:

The crest to crest wave springs are widely used in machinery manufacturing, petroleum and chemical engineering, hydraulic equipment, automobile and locomotive manufacturing, aviation industry, refrigeration engineering and other industries, such as motors, compressor mainframes, fluid valves, water valves, Automotive clutches, brakes, electrical connectors, bearing preload devices and compensation devices and shaft seals, mechanical seals and so on.
