A wave spring is made from coiled flat wire with waves added to give it a spring effect. Wave springs are superior to coil springs in certain applications because they provide lower work heights with the same force.
How are wave washers made?
What are wave washers? Wave washers, also known as wave spring washers, are made from flat wire that is edge rolled into single or multiple coils. During the manufacturing process, waves are added to provide the washers with spring‑like features.

What are wave disc springs used for?
Wave Springs are designed to replace conventional round wire Compression Springs in applications requiring a tight load deflection specification in a space critical environment. Lee Spring offers both a stock wave spring series and custom wave springs design to meet your exact specifications.
What is a wave washer?
Wave washers, also commonly referred to as wave springs or coiled wave springs, are used to absorb stress due to axial compressive loads, acting as a cushion. The waves of the wave washer provide 3, 4, or 6-point contact that results in greater load bearing capacity and a medium range of deflection.
