Understanding Wave Springs: Key Factors Influencing Compression Force

Oct. 1, 2024
Wave springs are compression springs that offer a compact alternative to traditional coil springs. As a design engineer or product manufacturer, it is essential to understand the factors that influence their force before designing an application.

Wave springs are a type of compression spring with a distinctive wave-like design that offers a compact alternative to traditional coil springs. They are well-suited for applications where size reduction and weight are critical. Structurally different from coil springs, Wave Springs have unique structural characteristics that influence their compression force.

This guide will help readers understand the various factors that can affect their compression. It is beneficial for those involved in design engineering or product manufacturing.
