S-96697A500 0.269" ID x 0.423" OD Wave Spring Lock Washers

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior vibration dampening through wave spring design prevents fastener loosening in high-motion applications
• Exceptional load distribution across 0.423" OD surface area reduces point stress and extends component life
• Rockwell C44 hardened steel construction maintains spring tension and resists deformation under heavy loads
• Precision 0.269" ID fit ensures perfect alignment with 1/4" screws for reliable assembly performance
• Compact 0.07" profile provides maximum spring action in confined spaces without compromising function
• Full regulatory compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards guarantees environmental safety in global markets
• Consistent 0.008" thickness delivers predictable spring rates for engineering calculations and reliability

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This steel wave washer addresses critical engineering challenges in industrial assembly where vibration-induced fastener failure is a primary concern. The wave spring design creates continuous axial pressure that counters loosening forces in machinery, automotive, and electrical applications. Manufactured from Rockwell C44 hardened steel, this washer maintains its spring characteristics under repeated compression cycles, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding environments. The precise 0.269" ID provides secure seating on 1/4" screws while the 0.423" OD optimizes load distribution across connected surfaces. This combination of material strength and geometric precision makes it ideal for applications requiring consistent spring force in compact spaces, from motor mounts to precision instruments.
