Disc Springs – small Discs that can pack a punch!

Disc Spring Washers; even the smallest sizes can pack a punch when it comes to load rating. Even sizes that start from 8mm outside diameter can offer up to nearly 450 newtons of force to flat. Despite relatively small sizes, they can offer huge forces compared to that of say normal Compression Springs.

Disc springs can be uses on a single basis or can be stacked in parallel (stacked the same way) will double the force of a single disc. To vary the arrangement further Disc Springs can also be stacked in series. For example, 10 single discs in series (back to back) would keep the force of a single disc but lengthen the deflection by 10 times.

Stack configuration is almost innumerable as such a wide variety of force and deflections can be made available by using any of the large size range available from Caleb Components. Again, unlike compression springs, which are of a fixed length, Disc Springs can be altered quickly and simply by adding or removing Discs from the stack.

As well as the standard DIN 2093 range, again Caleb Components can offer Ball Bearing Pre- Load, Serrated, and Heavy Duty Belleville Washers to DIN 6796.

Our company can offer full technical support and help and aid engineers to design the ideal stack for your components.
