Gardner Spring MW2028-022 Wave Disc Spring 2.028 in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MW2028-022 is a steel wave disc spring engineered for precision load management in mechanical assemblies. With a 2.028-inch outside diameter, a 1.575-inch inside diameter, and an overall height of 0.140 inches, this compact spring delivers a load at deflection of 35 pounds and a load at flat of 25.40 pounds. The 0.022-inch wall thickness and Grade 1074 steel construction provide consistent spring force in tight axial spaces. Mechanical engineers and industrial technicians specify wave disc springs where standard coil springs cannot fit or where a controlled, uniform load distribution across a flat surface is required.

Wave disc springs are used across a broad range of mechanical applications including bearing preload, valve assemblies, pump housings, and rotating equipment where controlled axial force is critical. The MW2028-022 is sized for medium-duty applications where space is constrained and a reliable, repeatable spring rate is required. This part ships in a package quantity of two and carries a minimum order quantity of one. It is appropriate for OEM assembly, field repair, and maintenance work in industrial, HVAC, and fluid-handling equipment.

Key Features

• 2.028-inch outside diameter for precise bore fitment in standard machined housings
• 35 lb load at deflection provides consistent, measurable axial force
• 25.40 lb load at flat for controlled pre-load in bearing and valve applications
• Grade 1074 steel construction for reliable fatigue resistance in cyclic load environments
• 0.140-inch overall height enables use in shallow axial stack-ups
• 0.022-inch thickness supports uniform wave deflection across the disc profile

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance component for mechanical assemblies requiring a wave disc spring with a 2.028-inch OD and 1.575-inch ID in the inch measurement system.

Installation Notes

Wave disc springs are installed by qualified mechanical technicians or engineers working on bearing preload, shaft retention, or valve assemblies. De-energize and de-pressurize any system before disassembly. Verify stack orientation and seating surface condition before installation, as improper seating can alter load characteristics. Consult applicable equipment service documentation for torque and assembly sequence requirements.
