Curved Spring Washers

Stock sizes in music wire and stainless steel

Precision engineered curved washers are available from Associated Spring in many stock sizes. These washers are made of finely tempered spring steel with some sizes being made of stainless steel. They come deburred and have had all set removed during manufacturer. Curved washers exert relatively light thrust loads and are often used to absorb axial end play. The rate is approximately linear between 10% and 80% of available deflection.
