Wavo Springs are produced from round-section wire to provide higher loads while maintaining the accurate loading found in wave springs. As an alternative to Belleville Springs, the Wavo provides similar loads but with an accurate, predictable spring rate.
Advantages
Accurate high force loading with greater deflection than Bellevilles
Economical and stocked in carbon and stainless steel
Fits in tight radial and axial spaces with inline force
Custom designs available with No-Tooling-Charges
Applications
Use in assemblies for variation as a result of tolerance stack-up
Preload a mechanical assembly with greater force to reduce or eliminate vibration
Compensate for the looseness that results in assembled components due to thermal expansion
Design
Fits in 25% of the radial space required of a Belleville
The theoretical rate is accurate until the spring approaches its solid height, see graph below
