Wave Springs
Wave Spring Types – Multi Turn Wave Springs
- Decreasing spring rate is proportional to the number of turns: More turns equals less force.
- Used for low force applications with large deflections.
- Utilizes nearly 1/2 the space as helical compression springs while producing the same force.

Wave Spring Types – Single Turn Wave Springs
- Ideal for short deflection applications with low to medium forces.
- Offered in a number of waves and material thicknesses.
- Designed for a wide range of bore and rod diameters.
- Ideal for:
- Narrow radial wall dimensions
- Light duty applications
- Low clearance applications
- Ball or roller bearing applications

Single Turn – Inch (SST)
Ideal for short deflection applications with low to medium forces. Offered in a number of waves and material thicknesses. Designed for a wide range of bore and rod diameters.
Single Turn – Metric (MST)
Ideal for short deflection applications with low to medium forces. Offered in a number of waves and material thicknesses. Designed for a wide range of bore and rod diameters.
