Wave spring options for quick connector
If your application requires quick connectors, then Rotor Clip reckons it will have just the wave spring for you. Its flatwire wave springs and retaining rings are used in a variety of quick connectors/circular plug-in connectors with threaded and bayonet locking for military, aerospace and industrial applications.
The designer has the choice of single (overlapping ends save axial space and prevent radial jamming), nested (provides a higher load than a single turn wave spring and uses the same radial space as a single turn design) and multi-turn (does not cling to the bore; greater deflection while taking up half the space of coiled springs) wave springs to meet the unique demands of virtually any connector application. Rotor Clip wave springs are currently manufactured from carbon steel and 17-7 stainless.
