How Our Spring Washers Are Used in Green Transports

Eliminating Backlash in Small Electric Motors and Alternators

Our wave washers and Ondufil wave springs are used to eliminate mechanical backlash and guarantee constant pressure in electric motor and alternator systems. They ensure the reliability and longevity of assemblies with minimal dimensions.

For assemblies with higher loads and smaller dimensions, our Belleville disc springs provide effective prestressing while absorbing thermal or mechanical variations.

Ball Bearings Preload in the Automotive and Railway Industries

One of the most common applications of our spring washers is the preloading of ball bearings. The material and geometry chosen depend on the requirements of the technical specifications and the specific features of the operating environment, according to the recommendations of our Engineering & Design Department.

Brake Protection in Trains

Our spring washers are also used to prestress the brake shoes used in railway equipments. They are designed and manufactured to meet the safety requirements imposed by the railway industry and follow an extremely strict quality management system.
