Multi-layer wave springs
Wave springs with large diameter
Word has spread to heavy and special machine builders in the petrochemical, mining and energy industries that enormous reductions in installation space can be achieved with Smalley wave springs.
The flat and round wire products offered by TFC in this country are therefore increasingly being used in the designs of manufacturers of oil production and wind power plants, for example. The fact that these springs can be supplied with bore diameters of up to 3,500 millimeters if required is a key factor in this.
Many device manufacturers in medical technology use them, they are used in the realization of assembly and handling systems, and designers in automotive and vehicle construction also use them. The advantage of reduced installation space applies in particular to multi-layer Crest-to-Crest wave springs. With the same spring travel and load capacity, these flat wire springs require up to 50 percent less axial installation space than conventional round wire springs. The second value relevant for heavy and special machine construction - the spring force - is also directly dependent on the bore diameter of the wave spring. In principle, the larger the diameter, the greater the maximum possible force absorption or load capacity. For example, a multi-layer crest-to-crest flat wire wave spring with a diameter of 175 millimetres can absorb a maximum load of 23,000 newtons over its entire working range. pb
