Gardner Spring MW0484-009 Wave Disc Spring 0.484 Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MW0484-009 is a wave disc spring designed to deliver controlled axial load in compact assemblies where space is limited. Made from steel with a material grade of 1074-1095, this spring measures 0.484 inches in outside diameter, 0.397 inches in inside diameter, and 0.029 inches in overall height with a thickness of 0.009 inches. It produces a load of 4 pounds at deflection and 3.66 pounds at flat. Wave disc springs are commonly installed by mechanical technicians and maintenance professionals in precision assemblies requiring consistent spring force in tight axial envelopes.

This wave disc spring is suited for use in small-diameter mechanical assemblies including bearing preload applications, electronic hardware, fluid control components, and precision instrument subassemblies. Its compact profile and defined load characteristics make it a practical choice for applications where conventional coil springs cannot fit. The inch measurement system and standard material grade align with common North American manufacturing specifications, making it a straightforward replacement or original-design component for industrial and light mechanical applications.

Key Features

• Steel construction with material grade 1074-1095 for consistent spring properties
• 0.484 inches outside diameter and 0.397 inches inside diameter for precise bore and shaft fitment
• 0.029 inches overall height accommodates tight axial stack requirements
• 4 pounds load at deflection and 3.66 pounds load at flat for predictable force output
• 0.009 inches thickness supports repeatable deflection performance in stacked or single configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or original-specification wave disc spring for small-diameter mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.484 inches OD, 0.397 inches ID spring with a 4 pound deflection load in inch-standard applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or assembly technicians working on precision hardware. Ensure the mating bore and shaft dimensions are verified against the spring inside and outside diameter before installation. De-energize and relieve any stored mechanical load from the assembly before removing or installing disc springs. Avoid over-compressing beyond the flat load condition to prevent permanent set or damage to the spring.
