For ten years, Lispring has been focusing on the R&D and production of wave springs and spiral retaining rings in the past, present and future, aiming to provide reliable and satisfactory products to global high-tech customers. We welcome your inquiries at any time.
Overlap wave springs, also known as nested wave springs or zigzag springs, are a type of spring that consists of multiple wave-shaped elements (or "leaves") stacked on top of each other in an overlapping pattern. These wave elements are typically curved in a zigzag or sinusoidal shape and are designed to provide spring force when compressed.
Overlap wave springs offer several advantages compared to traditional coil springs:
High Spring Rate: Overlap wave springs can provide a higher spring rate (force per unit deflection) compared to coil springs of similar size. This is because the multiple overlapping wave elements act together to resist compression.
Constant Force: Overlap wave springs tend to provide a more constant spring force over a wide range of deflection. This makes them suitable for applications that require a consistent force throughout the spring's stroke.
Low Height: For a given spring force and deflection, overlap wave springs have a lower overall height compared to coil springs. This allows them to be used in applications where space is limited.
Easy Installation: Overlap wave springs can be easily compressed and inserted into a housing or bore, making installation simple and quick.
Shock Absorption: The overlapping wave elements provide a damping effect, which can help absorb shock and vibration in dynamic applications.
Overlap wave springs are commonly used in various applications, including:
The design and material choice of overlap wave springs depend on the specific requirements of the application, including the desired spring rate, deflection, operating environment, and cost considerations. Consulting with a spring manufacturer or supplier can help ensure that the overlap wave spring is appropriately designed for the intended application.
