Three wave washers are named as a result of their curved or wavy height. This unique shape marks the three wave washer as a spring washer. Three wave washers provide a deflection or spring action within the fastener application. These washers are especially recognized for their superior load bearing capacity within limited axial spaces. As a result of their unique properties, three wave washers suit a wide range of applications.
Three wave washers are utilized for shock absorbent capabilities based upon their shape but also for the many materials three wave washers are often produced with. Although three wave washers do not provide an extended deflection range that can be achieved with one wave washers, the load bearing capacity in greater. In addition to enhancing the deflection and shock absorbent capabilities of three wave washers, select materials can also add to the longevity and friction reduction of an application through corrosion and ware resistance, toughness, and thermal and electrical conductivity.
Frequent and broad use, high functionality and reliability are precisely the reasons Superior Washer provides three wave washers in such a wide selection of materials and dimensions. We further suit the growing needs of so many industries by offering custom production of specialty flat washers, as well as packaging services.
