Product description

This wave spring washer is a specialized tensioning component used in the lock handle cam assembly on most Coats tire changers. Its unique waved shape provides a controlled axial load in a very limited space, ensuring that the locking mechanism operates with the correct amount of friction. Over time, these washers can lose their "spring" or crack, leading to a loose-feeling lock handle that fails to secure the tool head properly. Replacing a worn wave washer restores the factory tension to the assembly, improving the stability of the mount/demount head during tire service. It is a small but essential part of the high-precision mechanical systems that make Coats equipment the industry standard.
