A wave washer is a type of washer characterized by its wave-shaped profile on a circular thin plate.
This washer is primarily designed to prevent screw loosening with its anti-loosening capabilities and to minimize component rattle with its anti-rattle properties. Furthermore, its spring-like qualities allow it to act as a spacer spring, maintaining axial space and enhancing fixation force.
Key advantages of wave washers include their compact size, lightweight nature, and superior spring performance. These properties contribute to system durability by improving fixation force. Consequently, wave washers are widely used across various industries, including mechanical components, automotive parts, construction components, and industrial equipment parts.
