Rotor Clip has announced the launch of a new, patented InterShim wave spring design. Engineered for high-acceleration electric motor applications, the new design features alternating turns between inactive (flat) and active (waved) turns to ensure reliable performance under torsional loads and precise rotational movement.

Here's a quick view of Rotor Clip’s range or products:

The wave spring was designed to meet specific needs of the electric vehicle (EV) market. “The development of the new wave spring design represents a significant milestone and underscores our dedication to meeting the evolving needs of our customers. By listening to their feedback and leveraging our expertise, we have engineered a solution that offers unparalleled performance in high acceleration applications,” said Elmar Kampmann, European sales engineering director at Rotor Clip. “We are proud to introduce this design to the market and look forward to its positive impact on our customers’ operations.”

Features of the InterShim wave spring:

• Engineered to meet the demands of applications requiring high torsional loads and precise rotational control.

• Increased efficiency by eliminating the need for multiple elements within the assembly line.

• Floating ends and bent ends can help prevent damage to the mating surface.

• Allows for higher preload or softer spring rates to meet specific customer requirements.

• Highly customizable in the number of waves, number of turns, arrangement of shims/troughs, and a variety of specialty alloys.

While initially developed for EV applications, Rotor Clip noted that its InterShim wave spring offers features that extend beyond the automotive industry. The advanced design was created to address physical challenges such as extreme forces and vibrations, making it a versatile solution for high-speed and high-stress applications across various industries.
