Gardner Spring MW1621-019 Wave Disc Spring 1.621 in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MW1621-019 is a wave disc spring manufactured from 1074-grade steel, designed to deliver consistent axial load in compact assemblies where space is limited. It measures 1.621 inches in outside diameter, 1.261 inches in inside diameter, and 0.112 inches in overall height, with a material thickness of 0.019 inches. The spring produces a load of 25.5 pounds at deflection and 18.5 pounds at flat. Wave disc springs are used in mechanical assemblies requiring precise, repeatable spring force in tight axial envelopes. Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers and maintenance technicians working on bearing preload, fastener retention, and similar precision applications.

Wave disc springs like the MW1621-019 are suited for use in bearing assemblies, clutch packs, valve mechanisms, and other mechanical systems requiring controlled axial preload or cushioning. Their low-profile geometry makes them appropriate for applications where a traditional coil spring would not fit. This spring is sold in a package quantity of 25 units with a minimum order quantity of 1, making it practical for both single-unit repairs and production runs.

Key Features

• 1074-grade steel construction for reliable strength and fatigue resistance
• 25.5-pound load at deflection for predictable force output
• 18.5-pound load at flat for controlled preload applications
• Low-profile design at 0.112 inches overall height suits tight axial spaces
• Inch measurement system with precise tolerances: 1.621 inches OD, 1.261 inches ID, 0.019 inches thickness
• Package quantity of 25 units accommodates both service and production needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance wave disc spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1.621-inch OD, 1.261-inch ID steel wave disc spring in inch-dimensioned systems.

Installation Notes

Wave disc springs are installed by mechanical technicians and assemblers working on bearing housings, shaft assemblies, and similar precision mechanisms. De-energize and lockout all equipment before disassembly. Use appropriate snap ring pliers or press tooling as required by the assembly; avoid striking the spring directly, as impact can alter the load characteristics. Verify seating orientation and stack direction per the original equipment specification before closing the assembly.
