Rotor Clip Delivers Application Driven Solutions with Small Diameter Wave Springs  

As medical technology advances, the demand for smaller, lighter, and more efficient parts continues to grow. Devices must be compact without sacrificing performance, making every inch, every millimeter of space count. Rotor Clip’s small-diameter multi-turn wave springs are manufactured to meet these challenges. 

Ranging all the way down to .118”, wave springs provide the same force and deflection as traditional coil springs while saving up to 50% of axial space. Their compact design makes them ideal for critical medical applications, from surgical instruments to implantable devices. A single wave spring simplifies assembly, reduces costs, and compresses axially without introducing torsional loading,—minimizing wear on surrounding components. 

Medical components require materials that can withstand demanding conditions while maintaining strength and reliability. Rotor Clip offers  alloys suited to these challenges, including AISI  316 stainless steels for corrosion resistance, and other biocompatible implantable alloys like Elgiloy that provide corrosion resistance and a resistance to magnetism. To ensure fast turnaround times, Rotor Clip stocks standard and specialty materials at our US and EU manufacturing operations, eliminating reliance on third parties and ensuring critical materials are always available for medical projects. 

For applications with unique load or cycle life requirements, Rotor Clip offers complete customization to meet your exact specifications. Our engineers can modify features such as the number of turns and waves, material thickness, radial wall, and end configurations to ensure optimal load and cycle life performance. By collaborating early in the process, Rotor Clip helps refine the design from prototype to production, ensuring efficiency and precision at every stage. After all, when it comes to medical equipment, having the right parts is crucial—there’s a lot riding on it.
