Wave Lock Washers Stainless Steel
Description
Wave Washers – Stainless Steel
Stainless steel wave washers are precision-engineered spring washers featuring a distinctive wavy design that provides consistent axial load and absorbs shock within fastening assemblies. Their unique curved profile allows them to maintain reliable spring tension, compensate for thermal expansion and contraction, and reduce vibration, making them essential components in dynamic and high-stress environments.
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel (commonly grades 304 and 316), these washers offer exceptional durability and resistance to rust, chemicals, and moisture. This makes them ideal for use in harsh environments such as marine, automotive, aerospace, electrical, and industrial applications where both resilience and corrosion resistance are critical.
Key Features:
Consistent Load Distribution: The wave design maintains uniform spring tension, ensuring bolts and fasteners remain properly preloaded for enhanced joint integrity.
Shock Absorption: Absorbs and dampens impact forces and vibrations, protecting assemblies from fatigue and loosening over time.
Space-Efficient: Ideal for applications where limited axial space prevents the use of traditional coil springs or thicker washers.
Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel construction ensures long service life even in corrosive or wet environments.
Versatile Sizes: Available in a broad range of diameters and thicknesses to accommodate various fastener sizes and load requirements.
Typical Applications:
Automotive suspension and engine assemblies
Aerospace components requiring precise preload control
Marine equipment exposed to saltwater and harsh conditions
Electrical and electronic devices needing vibration damping
Industrial machinery subject to dynamic loading and thermal cycling
By combining flexibility, strength, and corrosion resistance, stainless steel wave washers provide a dependable and efficient solution for maintaining bolt tension and extending the lifespan of critical assemblies.
