Carbon Steel Wave Spring Washers
Product Overview
Wave spring washers are essential components in various mechanical applications where a consistent, controlled load is required. Unlike traditional flat washers, wave spring washers are designed with a wavy structure that compresses under load, providing an axial force and accommodating thermal expansions, vibrations, and small assembly tolerances. These washers are widely used in automatic assemblies, aerospace, medical devices, and industrial machinery to offer space-saving and cost-effective solutions for load-bearing applications.
Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel, wave spring washers offer a fine balance of strength, flexibility, and resilience. Available in a wide range of sizes and finishes, they are tailored to meet both standard and custom engineering requirements.

Material and Manufacturing Process
Our Wave Spring Washers are made from high-grade carbon steel, known for its high tensile strength, longevity, and ease of forming. Each washer undergoes a precision stamping process followed by thermal treatment to enhance spring performance and fatigue resistance.
The production process is as follows:
- Raw material inspection
- Cold forming and wave shaping
- Heat treatment (tempering)
- Surface coating (zinc plating, black oxide)
- Dimensional and hardness testing
- Final inspection and packaging
Typical Applications in Industry
Wave spring washers are commonly used across a variety of industrial sectors:
- Automotive: Brake assemblies, steering systems
- Aerospace: Vibration resistance in compact assemblies
- Electrical: PCB and electronic device assembly
- Medical devices: Compact, load-bearing applications
- Industrial equipment: Gear mechanisms and pump systems
These washers are ideal in applications where space is limited but controlled loading is essential.
