Wave springs and round wire coil springs compared
Crest-to-Crest wave springs can offer similar loads and deflection to traditional coil springs, but at around half the height. They can reduce axial space by up to 50 per cent, leading to an overall decrease in assembly size, weight and cost. For design engineers looking to utilise these benefits and discover if a Crest-to-Crest wave spring can replace a coil spring in their application, let’s try to answer some common questions about wave springs.
