Wave Washers and Retaining Rings are simple yet highly effective components that support Akar Rulman’s extensive bearing range in terms of application and design. As the English name “Wave Washers” suggests, these spring metal rings have a wavy structure. Their primary function is to enhance the efficiency and functionality of the bearings they are used with. When properly installed and selected, these components extend the bearing’s lifespan and improve load-carrying performance. Additionally, in compact spaces, they act as shock absorbers, making them highly effective in design-constrained environments.

Akar Rulman offers a variety of brands for Wave Washers and Retaining Rings, along with custom manufacturing options in addition to standard catalog products. Our authorized distributors for these products are SMALLEY and GRW.
