Nested Wave Springs
| |
|
Nested Wave Springs are pre-stacked in parallel from one continuous filament of flat wire. The need to stack individual springs for higher loads is no longer necessary.
Nested springs result in a spring rate that increases proportionately to the number of turns. They can exert tremendous forces, yet maintain the precision of a circular-grain wave spring. In many applications, Nested Wave Springs replace Belleville Springs, particularly in cases where a high but accurate force is needed.

Nested Wave Springs are available as a special from Smalley. Springs can be manufactured in from .200" to 90".

Application Example |
 |
LOW VOLTAGE CONNECTOR
A Bayonet Connector couples as the male end rotates and follows the groove contour in the female end. A 2-Turn Nested Spirawave Wave Spring provides the pre-load between the two halves. A 2-Turn Nested Spring was necessary, to develop a higher load in very tight radial and axial space. |
