Wave rings, also known as corrugated washers or spring washers, are circular metal rings with a corrugated or wavy cross-section. These corrugations allow the rings to have a spring-like effect when compressed or expanded, providing a preload or adjustment capability.
Wave rings are typically made of steel or stainless steel, but they can also be made from other materials such as brass, aluminum, or plastics depending on the specific application requirements.
Wave rings are commonly used in various applications where a preload or adjustment is needed to maintain a consistent force or compensate for dimensional variations. Some common uses of wave rings include:
Bearing Preload: Wave rings can be used to preload bearings, ensuring that they operate within their optimal load range. This helps reduce wear and extend bearing life.
Axial Adjustment: Wave rings can be compressed or expanded to adjust the axial position of components. They are often used in shafts, bolts, and other fasteners to achieve precise alignment and positioning.
Compensation for Dimensional Variations: Wave rings can compensate for dimensional variations caused by manufacturing tolerances, temperature changes, or wear and tear. They provide a flexible connection that can absorb these variations without affecting the overall performance of the assembly.
Shock and Vibration Isolation: By providing a spring-like effect, wave rings can help isolate shock and vibration, protecting sensitive components from damage.
The specific design and corrugation pattern of wave rings can vary depending on the application requirements. They can be custom-designed to provide the desired preload, spring rate, and compensation range.
In summary, wave rings are versatile components that provide a preload, adjustment, and compensation capability in various applications. Their corrugated design allows them to function as springs, making them useful in maintaining constant forces, achieving precise positioning, and isolating shock and vibration.
