Wave washers for bearings
Wave washers for bearings is the wave washer that compensates the spring force when the washer is stressed. They are a good shock absorber, which can prevent the component from disintegrating due to vibration and small movement. They are carefully designed to deflect pressure over a linear range, which allows them to provide perfect pretension between two surfaces, and their operating limits are defined by their load rating or yield point.
Wave washers for bearings is a kind of elastic element widely used in bearing system, its main functions include providing preload, adjusting bearing clearance, reducing vibration and noise, etc.
The Wave washers for bearings is a wave spring washer converted to a bearing design. It is usually made of sheet metal, with multiple corrugated peaks and valleys, which can produce elastic deformation when subjected to pressure, thereby providing the required preload force or adjusting the clearance. The Wave washers for bearings has the characteristics of compact structure, good elasticity, strong ability of cushioning and absorbing vibration.
Application field:
Wave washers for bearings are widely used in a variety of mechanical equipment, especially in cases where precise control of bearing clearance and preload is required. For example, in precision machine tools, automation equipment, aerospace equipment, automotive manufacturing and other fields, bearing waveform gaskets play an important role. They can not only ensure the stable operation of bearings, but also effectively reduce vibration and noise, and improve the overall performance of the equipment.
Due to the direct load placement, the axial strain on the washer is a function of the load and the spring placement, which is also known as the spring rate. It determines the maximum load the gasket can withstand. In short, if the washer has more wave number, it can withstand more lead. You can also use thicker gaskets to increase its load carrying capacity. It is available in stainless steel, carbon steel and alloy steel to withstand more wear, while also making it more resistant to corrosion.
Selection and installation:
When selecting the Wave washers for bearings, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the specific application scenarios and needs, including the type of bearings, size, load requirements, working environment and the required preload force. During the installation process, it is necessary to ensure the correct installation of the wave washer and the accurate adjustment of the preload force. In addition, it is also necessary to check and maintain the bearing waveform washer regularly to ensure its performance and life.
Wave washers for bearings is a thin metal ring with multi-layer crest and trough structure. Through its unique wave structure, it can realize the functions of bearing support, shock absorption and noise reduction. According to different application scenarios and performance requirements, waveform washers can be divided into WG type, WL type and WN type and other types.
Wave washers for bearings product functions:
- Because of its designed waveform structure, it can effectively absorb and disperse vibration energy, thereby reducing the noise and vibration of bearings and mechanical equipment during operation.
- Prestress the bearing to make the bearing more stable during operation and reduce wear and damage due to vibration.
- In the process of tightening bolts and nuts, waveform washers can protect the surface of the connector from being scratched and extend the service life of the connector.
- When the nut is tightened, the sharp edge of the waveform washer will be embedded into the surface of the connected part or the nut end face, preventing the nut from turning counterclockwise, thus playing the role of anti-loosening.
Wave washers for bearings is a powerful and widely used mechanical component, which is of great significance for improving the running stability of mechanical equipment and reducing noise.
