Categorized as spring washers just as Belleville washers are, wave washers are defined by their curved height. Due to their unique structure, wave washers provide a spring mechanism for load distribution and bearing, in addition to shock absorption purposes. These washers also serve to eliminate rattling and retain the tension of a fitting.
Based upon the specific properties of the waves structured into the washer, varied effects, mechanisms and reactions can be achieved within the application. Wave washers are most commonly subcategorized as one wave washers or three wave washers. These identities are established by the degree of curves in the height. Both one and three wave washers provide unique deflection ranges and load bearing capacities. Friction control and longevity can be greatly enhanced by properly fitting a wave washer into a fastener application. One and three wave washers are supplied in a variety of materials, furthering the precision of its capabilities based upon the properties of each material.
