Wave Flat Washer, 3 Wave, 18-8 Stainless Steel, Round Shape, USA Made
Do you like this story?
Wave Flat Washers are designed to replace a traditional spring, where there isn't enough room for the compression and extension of a regular spring. They also act as a locking washer, replacing toothed or split spring washers. Also known as Belleville Washers, these products have a high load capacity with a small deflection area, making them perfect for use in small products and places. Manufactured from Full Hard 300 series Stainless Steel.
Made in the USA. These flat washers are produced in the USA for excellent quality conformance. One of the significant differences between less expensive imported products and ours are the way we stamp. Many cheap imports are produced on gang dies that produce 10 or more washers per stroke of the press. Using such a large die means that the individual washer sets are not adjustable - when the punch wears, the dimensions change and there is no way to fix this as the press produces washers, leading to a large variation in the finished part.
Materials available in many other countries are not as consistent as the domestic steels we use, which gives the imports a cheaper cost, but can lead to failures and inconsistencies when the products are used. The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) was created to address this problem. Our materials are DFARS compliant although we do not supply the certification except on special order.
