Gardner Spring MW0492-007-S Wave Disc Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MW0492-007-S is a wave disc spring manufactured from Grade 302 stainless steel. Wave disc springs store and release energy across a compressed axial space, making them a dependable fastening and load-management component in assemblies where space is constrained. This spring measures 0.492 inches in outside diameter, 0.35 inches in inside diameter, and 0.035 inches in overall height, with a material thickness of 0.007 inches. It delivers a load at deflection of 4 pounds and a load at flat of 4.86 pounds. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers install these springs in precision hardware, fluid fittings, and mechanical sub-assemblies.

Wave disc springs in this size range are commonly specified in compact mechanical assemblies where conventional coil springs cannot fit within the axial envelope. Typical applications include bearing preload, valve seating, electrical contact retention, and similar light-load precision uses in both industrial and commercial equipment. The stainless steel construction makes this part appropriate for installations exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or environments where corrosion resistance is required.

Key Features

• Grade 302 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• 0.492 inches outside diameter fits compact bore and housing applications
• 0.035 inches overall height suits tight axial clearance assemblies
• 4 pounds load at deflection with 4.86 pounds load at flat for predictable spring behavior
• 0.007 inches material thickness for consistent light-load performance
• Inch measurement system for straightforward integration with standard hardware specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation wave disc spring for compact mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.492 inches OD, 0.35 inches ID stainless steel wave disc spring in the inch measurement system.

Installation Notes

Wave disc springs are typically installed by mechanical technicians and assemblers using standard hand tools or press equipment appropriate to the assembly. De-energize or depressurize the host assembly fully before disassembly and spring replacement. Confirm bore diameter, housing depth, and load requirements against the assembly specification before installing to avoid improper seating. Do not exceed the rated load at flat to prevent permanent deformation of the spring.
