Wave springs are a type of compression spring with a distinctive wave-like design that offers a compact alternative to traditional coil springs. Their ability to compress and expand within a limited space makes them well-suited for situations where size and weight are critical.
Structurally different from coil springs, wave springs have unique structural characteristics that influence their compression force. As a design engineer or product manufacturer, it is important to understand these influences prior to designing an application.
