A flat wire, gap-type, single turn wave spring made using a coiling manufacturing process wherein the portions of the spring adjacent the gap are made flat The flat portions are configured to abut a mating assembly. Flat wire and round wire wave springs and their methods of manufacture are known in the art. Presently known flat wire, gap-type, single turn wave springs have sharp comers in the cut ends at the gap that can damage the mating parts of an assembly. As these prior art wave springs are made taller, with increased height, the problem of damage is made worse. |
