Introduction and Features of Wave Springs

Nested Wave Springs

  A nested wave spring is a type of spring formed by stacking multiple wave springs tightly together in a concentric and aligned manner. Compared to traditional single-layer wave springs, nested wave springs offer significantly higher load capacity and stiffness within the same installation space.

Their unique structure allows them to withstand greater compressive forces while maintaining a low working height, making them particularly suitable for applications that require high load capacity in confined spaces.


Features of Nested Wave Springs

  1. High Load Capacity

    Due to the multiple layers of tightly stacked wave springs, nested wave springs provide several times the load capacity of a single-layer wave spring within the same space.
  2. Space-Saving Design

    With a lower height compared to traditional coil springs, nested wave springs are ideal for devices and machinery with limited space.
  3. Excellent Fatigue Resistance

    The even distribution of stress across the layers reduces material fatigue, extending the spring's service life.
  4. Linear and Non-Linear Options

    Depending on application needs, nested wave springs can be designed to provide either linear or non-linear load characteristics.
  5. High Stability

    The multi-layer structure offers superior lateral stability, preventing tilting or deformation during operation.

  Nested wave springs are commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and precision machinery, where space constraints and high load demands are present.
