A wave spring, also known as a coiled wave spring or a scrowave spring, is a spring made out of pre-hardened flat wire in a process called, 'on-edge-coiling', also known as 'edgewinding'. During this process, waves are added to give it a spring effect. 〔https://www.rotorclip.com/wave_spring_advantage1.php〕〔Smalley Steel Ring Company. (2005). Engineering and Parts Catalog. p.7〕 The number of turns and waves can be easily adjusted to accommodate stronger force or meet customers' specific requirements.〔https://www.rotorclip.com/wave_spring_advantage1.php〕 ==Advantages== A wave spring has the following advantages over a traditional coiled spring or a washer.〔Rotor Clip Company., Inc. (2010). Product Specifications. p. 12.〕 *The axial space can be reduced by 50%. As a result, an overall size of an assembly becomes smaller and thus significant weight reduction and production cost of an application can be achieved. *The load in an axial direction is 100% transferable. *One multi-turn wave spring replaces stacked wave washer. This eases an installation of a spring and reduces time necessary for the maintenance of an application. *A wave spring makes it possible to accommodate higher thrust load within the limited axial space as only elements such as the size of the wire, the number of waves, the height of waves, and the number of turns need to be adjusted to accommodate such a high thrust load. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wave spring」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
