Wave Washers

What are Wave Washers ?

Wave Washers are designed to create spring pressure when compressed, and are often used to pre-load fasteners. Some users also install Wave Washers as locking devices, although Accu do sell a number of specialist components for this purpose.

Wave Washers are occasionally called Crinkle Washers. Accu also stock a full range of Crinkle Washers. Wave Washers and Crinkle Washers are often used almost interchangeably, but Crinkle Washers are generally used for spacing, whereas Wave Washers are used as springs.
