Value Collection 42472 Wave Disc Spring M6 Spring Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42472 is a metric wave disc spring manufactured from spring steel, designed to deliver consistent axial load distribution in compact assemblies. With a 6.4 mm inside diameter, 12 mm outside diameter, 2.6 mm overall height, and 0.50 mm thickness, this spring fits M6 screw applications where space is limited and controlled deflection is required. Wave disc springs are used by mechanical assemblers and maintenance technicians to take up axial play, preload bearings, and maintain clamping force in bolted or press-fit connections. The spring steel construction provides reliable resilience across repeated load cycles.

This wave disc spring suits residential and light industrial mechanical assemblies where an M6 fastener or shaft is in use. Typical applications include bearing preload in electric motors, gear assemblies, pumps, and valve actuators. The metric dimensions make this part appropriate for equipment designed to metric standards. It is commonly installed in HVAC fan assemblies, small pump housings, and similar rotating equipment serviced by mechanical or HVAC technicians.

Key Features

• Spring steel construction for consistent load-deflection characteristics across repeated cycles
• 6.4 mm inside diameter fits M6 screw or shaft applications
• 12 mm outside diameter in a compact form factor suitable for tight bore clearances
• 0.50 mm thickness provides controlled axial compliance without excessive stack height
• 2.6 mm overall height supports space-constrained assembly designs
• Metric dimensioning for use in metric-standard equipment and assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service part for metric mechanical assemblies requiring an M6 wave disc spring with a 6.4 mm inside diameter and 12 mm outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a mechanical technician or licensed trade professional. De-energize and lock out all power to the assembly before disassembly. Ensure the seating surfaces are clean and free of burrs before placing the spring to maintain proper load distribution. Do not exceed the rated deflection range of the spring, as over-compression can cause permanent set and loss of preload.
