A little introduction to disc springs

A disc spring is a conical shell that can be loaded along its axis dynamically or statically. The frusto-conical shape is what gives the disc its spring characteristic. The component is also known as a Belleville washer, a name that originates from inventor Julien Belleville. Over the years, a myriad of unique profiles for disc springs have been created, with the most used today being those with or without contact flats.

Requests for an always better precision in calibration processes, the availability of original and more accurate calculation methods, and new materials have subsequently lead to disc springs being introduced into every area of technology. Today, these components are used in a plethora of industries, including defence, automotive, and building.

In different areas, if they’re used to apply a pre-load of flexible quality to a bearing or bolted joint, or as springs, the discs can be used as a stack or one single spring. Within a spring’s stack, disc springs are able to be stacked in either alternating or matching directions and, as you might expect, it’s quite possible to stack packets of numerous springs that are stacked in the same directions.
