Spring Washers

Belleville washers are typically used as springs, or to apply a pre-load of flexible quality to a bolted joint or bearing. Some properties of Belleville washers include: high fatigue life, better use of space, low creep tendency, high load capacity with a small spring deflection and possibility for high hysteresis (damping) by stacking several belleville washers on top of each other in the same direction.

Elyria Spring manufactures precision engineered curved spring washers for a variety of uses. In today’s world, companies are continuously looking for new ways to make their products smaller and more efficient. The curved spring washer can meet those needs when weight and space is concerned. They exert relatively light thrust loads and are often used to absorb axial end play. They also reduce vibration.

Wave washers (or wave springs) are wavy metal washers designed to provide a compensating spring force and sustain a load or absorb shock. Wave washers are commonly called spring washers. Wave washers are disks of metal that are formed in an irregular shape. When the washer is loaded it deflects, acts like a spring, and provides a preload between two surfaces.

Important dimensions to consider when specifying the size of wave washers are:​

• Inside & Outside Diameter: The inside and outside diameter are the most important dimensions.
• Thickness or Working Height: The thickness or working height refers to either the thickness of the washer material, or the working height (installed height) for the product.
• Rated or Working Load: The rated or working load is the maximum or optimal working load for the product. Wave washers are often rated at 50% compression.

Elyria Spring & Stamping manufactures custom finger spring washers in a variety of finishes, sizes and materials. Our washers are designed to counteract noise, excess wear and vibrations due to high speeds. They are often used to promote efficiency and operate smoother on rotating elements, such as a ball-bearing. Our stock sizes for finger spring washers are made of high carbon steel and are available in many types of finishes including phosphate, black oxide and more. See our metals & finishes list for more information on our custom products. We manufacture with materials ranging from .010” to .100” in diameter and more!
