Wave washers

Wave washer are made from prime quality spring steel, stainless steel, copper and other material which are readily available in very standard sizes. Wave washers are wavy metal washers designed to offer a compensating spring force and maintain a load or take up shock.

Wave washers are very useful for limited radial space and moderate thrust load
