Belleville Washers

High-Load, Compact Disc Springs

Belleville Washers – High-Load, Compact Disc Springs

About the Product

Belleville Washers, commonly known as Disc Springs, are conical ring-shaped components engineered to support extremely high axial loads with minimal deflection. Their unique design allows them to be stacked in various combinations (parallel, series, or mixed) to achieve precise and reliable load-deflection characteristics. They are essential for applications requiring powerful, short-travel springs, such as maintaining tension in bolted joints, or serving as buffers against shock and vibration in heavy machinery.

Key Features
  • Extremely high load capacity in minimal space.
  • Ability to be stacked for customized load/deflection curves.
  • Effective for vibration and shock absorption.
  • Provides a stable and constant preload to bolted assemblies.
Product Overview

Our Belleville Washers are precision-stamped and heat-treated to ensure consistent load performance and long service life. By arranging them in stacks, engineers can achieve non-linear spring characteristics, offering versatility in clutch mechanisms, transmission systems, and safety valves where precise force control is paramount. We offer both standard and custom sizes to meet specific application demands.
