More Information
- For maximum load build up with minimum washer deflection compared to a bowed washer. They provide high loads in small spaces.
- Stacked in nested multiples disc (Belleville) washers provide extreme load build up.
- Stacked in inverted pairs disc (Belleville) washers provide maximum washer deflection (flexibility) and less load build up.
- Used for both dynamic loading as well as static – a typical static application is to take up thermal expansion / contraction on a bolted assembly.
Stock Materials
- Spring Steel: SAE 1074 / ASTM#A684, hardened to Rockwell C45-50.
- Stainless Steel: 301 / 302 Stainless Steel to ASTM#A177.
* These are materials we stock in various thicknesses. It does not mean we have finished inventory of all washers in each of these materials.
** Non stock alternate materials that are commonly run are Phosphor Bronze to ASTM#B103, and 17-7 Stainless Steel.
*** Customer specific materials different than those listed above are commonly run.
Finishes
- Steel: Provided Plain Finish. Disc (Belleville) washers can be provided with a mechanical zinc plating processed in house which eliminates hydrogen embrittlement. A wide range of additional coatings are available: zinc electroplating, phosphate coatings, black oxide, etc.
- Stainless Steel: provided plain finish.
- Phosphor Bronze: provided plain finish.
