Single-Turn Wave Springs

Ideal for short deflection applications with low to medium forces

Single-turn wave springs are appropriate for a range of light to heavy duty applications

Single-Turn Wave Springs are ideal applications with low to high thrust loads depending on design and wire type. Designed for a range of bore and rod diameters, single-turn wave springs can act as alternative to disc springs and are particularly suited to fit narrow radial wall dimensions and low clearances or to accommodate ball or roller bearings.

An array of single-turn wave springs, arranged neatly to showcase their uniformity and precision engineering. These springs offer consistent compression and deflection properties, ideal for a wide range of industrial applications requiring reliable performance and compact design

Technical Advantages

Offer a cling in bore option in which the spring is fixed and centered by itself
Accurate spring rate and loads toleranced more than 50% tighter than stamped wave washers or disc springs
Unlike stamped parts, wave springs generate minimal material waste

SST – SINGLE-TURN INCH

Ideal for short deflection applications with low to medium forces. Offered in a number of waves and material thicknesses. Designed for a wide range of bore and rod diameters.

NST – SINGLE-Turn Narrow

Appropriate where radial space is limited, these wave springs are specified for several standard bearing diameters.

MST – SINGLE TuRN METRIC BEARING PRELOAD

Designed to match popular bearing sizes, it lightly clings in the bore to maximize contact with the outer race of the bearing. Designed to prolong bearing life, reducing vibration and noise.

SRT – SINGLE-TURN ROUND WIRE

Ideal for use in high load, high rate, low deflection, static, or low cycling applications. Cost effective alternative to disc springs.

End Types

Overlap

Overlap single-turn wave spring ends come together with one end overlapping the other. The result of this end-type offers no digging while mating with the surface and eliminates parts being tangled in bulk packaging arrangements.

Gap-Type

Gap-type wave springs have a physical gap between the ends. Rotor Clip are able to control the distance of the gap, as there may be components that need to clear it.

This design ensures precise alignment and secure fastening, contributing to improved reliability and longevity

Patented Flat Ends

Our patented flat-end wave spring design protects bearings by eliminating sharp, damaging corners from the spring ends, instead flattening them so they rest smoothly against the mating assembly.
