The move comes as a response to increased demand in the marketplace for smaller and more efficient assemblies. toward smaller assemblies is evident in 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 supports the market by introducing new, standard series small-diameter wave springs. Its multi-turn wave springs are now available as standards from 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.
Rotor Clip says that its vertically-integrated manufacturing process starts with in-house wire production.
Materials include: carbon steel (standard) - SAE 1060-1090 (ST), 17-7 Stainless Steel (standard), stainless - AISI 302, AISI 316, and A286, Inconel X-750, Elgiloy, Hastelloy C276, Beryllium-copper and Phosphor-bronze.
Customisation options include: spring force and work height, cycle life, nested coiling, shimmed or flat end, wire thickness and shape, coiling direction.
