Multi-Turn Wave Springs

Up to 50% axial space savings in your application compared to coil springs.

Multi-turn wave springs typically replace coiled springs or stacks of disc springs and can save up to 50% axial space in an application.

Compact and robust, Multi-Turn Wave Springs can accommodate a wide variety of loads, deflections and diameters. These highly engineered springs can be custom made to exact application specifications, including aspects such as number of waves, wire thickness and end-type configuration.

Technical Advantages

  • Multi-turn Wave Springs can save space by up to 50 percent in the axial direction when compared to a coil spring.
  • Space savings in radial direction versus other springs with larger diameters.
  • One Multi-Turn Wave Spring can replace an array of coil spring.
  • Only one spring must be handled, streamlining the assembly process.
  • Nearly unlimited range of forces and load capabilities
WSL/WSM/WSR – MULTI-TURN INCH

Used for low to medium force applications with greater travel compared to Single-Turn Springs. Utilizes nearly half the space as helical compression spring while producing the same force.
WSL = Light
WSM = Medium
WSR = Heavy

MWL/MWM/MWR – MULTI-TURN METRIC

Used for low to medium force applications with greater travel compared to Single-Turn Springs. Utilizes nearly half the space as helical compression spring while producing the same force.
MWL = Light
MWM = Medium
MWR = Heavy

End-Type Configurations

Rotor Clip offer many variations of end type to best suit your application.
