SPEC® Multi-Wave Compression Springs offer deflections beyond round wire springs and occupy less axial space. The specially designed edge-wound material occupies up to a half of the compressed height space of round wire springs for the same rate and deflection. As a result, they are an excellent solution for applications with limited space, requiring high relative amounts of travel, and light to medium force loads. The manufacturing process for Multi-Wave Compression Springs is different than that of other Spring Washers, as they are not stamped but instead wound from a single strip of flat wire. Standard material for the Multi-Wave Compression Springs series is 17-7PH stainless steel, making them suitable for both corrosive applications as well as general use. An example application might be a high-flow valve, where the inner diameter of the spring determines the cross-sectional area available for fluid flow. Recommended operating temperature is below 370°C / 700°F.
