One wave washers are recognized by the curved or waved height from which it derives its name. Categorized as a spring washer, one wave washers provide deflection, load bearing and shock absorption capabilities. These washers are primarily utilized in thrust loading applications and for fittings that require deflection in a tighter space. While one wave washers do not provide the load bearing capacity that would be achieved through the installation of a three wave washer, one wave washers provide an extended deflection range and better preservation of tension.
The shock absorbent property of the one wave washer prevents friction and can be used to eliminate rattling by retaining the tightness of the fastening. Initial installation of a one wave washer can greatly enhance the longevity of a fitting and save both time and cost on maintenance and repairs. By selecting specific materials when choosing a one wave washer, corrosion and deformation resistance, thermal and electrical conductivity, and friction reduction can be introduced and enhanced.
