Wave Springs

Wave Springs made to measure

More space, saves weight

A lot of pressure in a small space: Wave springs hold their own

Wave springs are coiled or stamped parts/spring elements, which are usually made of flat material. They are suitable for static and dynamic areas of application.

HÄUSSERMANN wave springs are compact space-saving wonders thanks to their minimalist spring working height. With reductions in the overall height of up to 50%, they are predestined for environments that require a specification with restricted installation space. The remarkable space savings mean that assemblies can be smaller, resulting in reduced material consumption and more efficient production costs.

STABLE AND SECURE

Our wave springs have no problem in demanding, safety-critical applications. They guarantee exceptional stability – even in the case of rising operating temperatures and nearly unlimited cycles. No matter whether prototypes, small batches, or large quantities are being manufactured.

PARTICULARLY FOR DEMANDING APPLICATIONS

We are the solutions partner for individually designed high-end spring elements with the tightest spring force tolerances wherever conventional wave springs, typically manufactured by cold forming, reach their limits.

Advantages and application areas

ADVANTAGES AND FEATURES

Production of tighter manufacturing tolerances possible compared to cold-formed wave springs
Wave springs have very low hysteresis (spring work minimized by external friction)
Linear and progressive characteristics and stepped progression possible
Comparatively low wear of force-transmitting components
Stackable parallel layers possible
Force applications between aligned parallel levels
Stability of the forces is more consistent and considerably better over the operating range
Small dimensional tolerances for diameters and overall height
Small change in diameter during deflection
Production in a wide range of materials
Dimensional ranges:
Material thickness from 0.4 – 5.00 mm
Outer diameter from 5.00 – 250.00 mm, in special cases up to 1000 mm
Inner diameter from 2.00 – 240.00 mm

EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS

Automatic transmissions (e.g., optimizing gear backlash compensation)
Steering gears (enhancing precision and stability)
Ball bearing preload springs (improving load distribution and performance)

Riding the wave of success –
patented process

Every application may be different, but our wave spring solutions are precisely adapted to it. The waves are thermally inserted by a process patented for us, giving the wave springs virtually unlimited stability.

Our wave spring products are precisely tailored to your specifications. With us, you can be sure that all parameters are taken into account, and you will receive an optimally tailored wave spring solution. The correct choice of material meets your requirements, from operating temperature to corrosion resistance.

High-end functionality, power density, safety, and installation space savings pay off, as this prevents unnecessary failures, repairs, and downtimes that cost time and money.

WITH YOU FROM THE VERY START

Take advantage of the HÄUSSERMANN expertise with individual advice and design: The earlier we are involved in the development of your wave spring, the better we can support you.

Our engineers are on hand for the selection, precise calculation, and design of your wave springs. You have a direct line to the experts, saving time and money.
