Wave springs from Pieron – FAQ
What is a wave spring?
A wave spring is a special type of compression spring characterised by its space-saving design. Compared with conventional round-wire springs, a wave spring needs only about half the installation space – while absorbing high forces. Thanks to its compact design, a wave spring is ideal for applications where space is limited but the highest forces still have to be absorbed.
Why do wave springs save so much space?
The wave spring makes optimal use of the combination of flat-rolled wire and wave-shaped coils. This makes it possible to create a spring that delivers maximum performance in minimal installation space. Design engineers benefit from being able to build small, high-performance designs with wave springs – ideal for miniature components and precision mechanics.
Which materials are used for wave springs?
Depending on the application, different raw materials are chosen for manufacturing wave springs. Pieron processes flat wire made of unalloyed and alloyed carbon steel as well as stainless steels (e.g. NIROSTA). Non-ferrous metals are also available for special requirements. Minimum order quantities may apply for individually rolled cross-sections – especially if the wave spring is to be adapted specifically to a particular application.
How are particularly durable wave springs made?
Wave springs from Pieron undergo precise presetting and testing processes to ensure high fatigue strength. Many work steps are fully automated and integrated into production to guarantee consistently high quality. As a result, the wave spring remains stable even under continuous load and ensures reliable spring action throughout its entire service life.
How does Pieron ensure the quality of its wave springs?
In wave spring production, too, Pieron consistently follows its zero-defect strategy. Every wave spring is inspected, cleaned and, if required, supplied in special packaging that allows automated further processing. On request, we offer additional surface finishes to further optimise the service life and friction behaviour of the wave springs.
In which areas are wave springs used?
Wave springs are used above all in the automotive sector. Wherever installation space is tight and high forces have to be absorbed or precise movements controlled at the same time, wave springs are the solution.
