Gardner Spring MW0608-008 Wave Disc Spring 0.608 in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MW0608-008 is a wave disc spring designed to deliver consistent load and deflection performance in compact mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from steel with a material grade of 1074-1095, this spring measures 0.608 inches in outside diameter, 0.459 inches in inside diameter, and 0.037 inches in overall height. The thickness is 0.008 inches. It produces a load of 4.00 pounds at deflection and 3.91 pounds at flat, making it well suited for applications where controlled spring force must be maintained in a tight axial space. Mechanical technicians and precision assembly professionals are the typical end users.

This wave disc spring fits into applications requiring a low-profile spring element within a bore or housing. Common installation scenarios include bearing preload, fastener locking, and vibration damping in mechanical equipment. Its small diameter and consistent load characteristics make it appropriate for instrument-grade assemblies, light-duty industrial components, and precision hardware where stack height is limited and repeatable spring force is required.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.608 inches for precise bore fitment
• Inside diameter of 0.459 inches for shaft or fastener clearance
• Overall height of 0.037 inches enables low-profile axial installations
• Load at deflection of 4.00 pounds for predictable spring force
• Steel construction with material grade 1074-1095 for durability and consistent spring properties
• Inch measurement system for straightforward integration with standard hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for mechanical assemblies requiring a wave disc spring with 0.608 inches outside diameter and 0.459 inches inside diameter in the inch measurement system.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or precision assembly specialists. Ensure the mating bore and shaft dimensions are clean and within specification before seating the spring. Avoid over-compressing the spring beyond its rated deflection, as this can permanently alter load characteristics. Handle carefully due to the small profile and thin cross-section.
