Wave Spring Washers
Stock sizes in high-carbon and stainless steels
Wave spring washers are usually used in thrust-loading applications for small
deflections, particularly where radial space is limited. A typical example is
the axial loading of ball bearings. The spring rate is approximately linear
between 20% and 80% of available deflection.

Finishes
Washers are carried in stock in plain finish suitable for various types of
finishes - either electroplated or mechanically plated, a process which reduces
the possibility of hydrogen embrittlement. Recommendations for specific
applications will be made on request.
