Application of Long lasting DIN137A Curved Spring Washer in Motors and Transmission Systems
In the motor and transmission systems, the Long lasting DIN137A Curved Spring Washer acts as the "killer of axial clearance" and the "guardian of preload force".
【1】Why are Long lasting DIN137A Curved Spring Washer indispensable in motors and transmission systems?
(1)Motors and transmissions run into a few common problems:
Heat expansion – When things heat up, the rotor and shaft expand, which changes how much clearance the bearings have.
Manufacturing tolerances – Parts don't get made perfectly, so they never line up exactly. There's always a tiny mismatch.
Wear and tear – Over time, bearing surfaces or washers slowly wear out, which creates extra gaps where there shouldn't be any.
Vibration and noise – When parts move back and forth, bearings start making weird noises, and gears can bang into each other.
(2)Solution for Long lasting DIN137A Curved Spring Washer:
It uses a curved or wavy shape, so when you press it flat, it keeps pushing back.
Automatically compensate for the changes in clearance caused by the aforementioned factors
Always maintain the correct preload of the bearings or gears to prevent loosening.

【2】Typical application scenarios
(1)Small DC motor
Place a Long lasting DIN137A Curved Spring Washer between the outer ring of the bearing and the end cover.
Eliminate the axial play of the bearing, reduce operating noise, and extend the service life of the bearing.
(2) Servo motors
Put a steady preload between the front and rear bearings. It helps the rotor stay more precisely in place and cuts down on vibration.
(3) Appliance motors (fans, washing machines)
These wave washers push on the bearings with roughly 5 to 20 Newtons of force. That stops the bearings from shifting around inside the housing and makes the motor quieter.
