Basically there are two types of Single turn wave spring: "The Gap Type" and "The Overlap Type"

The Gap Type: As its name implies there is a small gap in the wave circumference. And the overlap type are two ends of the material strip lay on the top of each other.

Engineering Design

Custom products are a specialty of TSMC (Tech Spring Manufacturing Corp.), as a full service precision manufacturing company, our experienced engineers have extensive knowledge of custom parts, they are always available to assist you to conduct a comprehensive functional analysis of development and gives a feasible solution through our own formula from the preliminary design phase to fabrication that meets your application needs.

There are four critical factors when considering a wave spring design such as Bore/ shaft (ID/OD), Load, Working height at which the load is applied and Material desired, as well as the other input parameters that contain the wire thickness, wire radial wall, number of waves per turn, active number of turns, work height, load at work height ... The input data as shown on the left table. And calculation results with spring rate (stiffness), working load (±10%), outer diameter at solid height, Working curve and Life cycles prediction where found in the down table.

Whether you need a standard or custom wave springs, please send us your application requirement, our experts will hand-select or commend the best solution for your specific needs.
