  • Rotor Clip Meets Application Needs with Small Diameter Wave Springs

    Posted in Fasteners manufacturers, Industry 4.0, Innovation, Spring on Nov 15, 2022

    (Somerset NJ) Rotor Clip has responded to the increased demand in the marketplace for smaller, innovative, and more efficient assemblies. Rotor Clip now has the capability of manufacturing smaller-sized wave springs ranging from .118 -25” (3 - 635 mm). The advancement in development for smaller assemblies benefits a variety of industries, such as medical devices, electronics, and consumer products. Today’s marketplace calls for smaller, lighter assemblies with greater efficiencies and lower manufacturing costs. Rotor Clip now further supports the market by introducing new, standard series small diameter wave springs! Our multi-turn wave springs are now available as standards from:

    • .188” outside diameter
    • 6 mm outside diameter

    Wave springs can offer up to 50% of axial space savings compared to conventional coil springs, providing the same force and deflection. Wave springs do not suffer from torsional loading and twisting that can cause wear. Additional benefits include increased travel distances and the ability to self-locate in bored holes and shafts. Through a vertically integrated manufacturing process, starting with in-house wire production, the combination of process control and metallurgical expertise allows Rotor Clip to react quickly to meeting requirements, perfecting prototypes, and identifying favorable opportunities to enhance product quality.
