Tried and true coil springs and disc springs work well in many engineering applications. However, it pays to compare these familiar options to another innovative spring design—flat-wire wave springs. Depending on the application, single- and multi-turn wave springs can offer distinct advantages over their more traditional counterparts.
Here’s a closer look at the important technical benefits of wave springs and some applications in which wave springs shine…
From jet engines to cargo doors, springs play a critical role in aerospace motion control applications.
Read this FAQ to learn about the strength, material and durability considerations for designing springs that can withstand the extreme conditions inherent in the science of flight.
Flat wire wave springs offer the best balance of size and spring force. Here’s what you need to know to design with these high-performance alternatives to traditional springs.  |

The first question generally asked about Machined Springs is how they compare with Wire Wound Springs.
Commencing with this question, this review of Machined Springs will proceed. Wire Springs appeared preceding the Industrial Revolution. They established their value immediately, and have not wavered from that most useful course. Certainly, enhancements in materials and manufacturing have been forthcoming, but the basic concept has not changed much. Spring wire coiled hot or cold with ends configured within the limits of coil wire has proven to be a very cost effective, industrial tool that exhibits elasticity within the bounds of known engineering understanding. Uses range from deep ocean applications to man’s reach into the universe. Finding a modern day device large or small, that does not benefit from elasticity, and particularly that provided by Wire Wound Springs, is a rare find.

Atlantic Spring, an MW Industries company, is a full-range manufacturer of custom springs, wire forms, and assemblies. Extensive material options and a wide range of available wire diameters have enabled Atlantic Spring to become a recognized leader in spring technology. To educate engineers designing springs to deliver the optimum performance at the lowest overall cost, this white paper will present a number of essential steps to take when considering which spring design is appropriate and can be optimized for a particular application.
The global market for auto injectors—such as EpiPens—is predicted to skyrocket over the next decade. Significant savings in manufacturing can be accrued by designing a single auto-injector to accommodate interchangeable springs for medications of different viscosities.
Read this whitepaper to learn how involving suppliers of components—such a springs—at the onset of the design process, creates cost efficiencies for medical device OEMs and contract manufacturers.
