Product Details
The wave spring is constructed from carbon steel and features an outer diameter of 3.917 inches, an inner diameter of 3.047 inches, a thickness of 0.042 inches, and a height of 0.258 inches. Manufactured in the USA, this package includes one wave spring. Wave springs are particularly effective for reducing axial end play in ball bearing applications, offering light to medium loads and designed for scenarios where limited deflection is either required or available. The spring exhibits nearly linear spring rate behavior between 20% and 80% of available deflection, with the ideal deflection not exceeding 80%. Compared to curved springs, wave springs experience less expansion during loading, and the number of waves corresponds to the number of contact points on one side of the spring. The high carbon steel parts are made from commercial 1074-1095 material and are certified to ASTM-A684 standards.
