Disc Springs are conically-shaped components designed to be axially loaded. Due to their predictability, high reliability and unparalleled fatigue life, Disc Springs are preferred over other types of springs in critical applications such as safety valves, clutch and brake mechanisms for elevators and heavy equipment, and supports for industrial pipe systems.
They can be used individually or assembled into stacks to achieve the desired force-deflection characteristic required for the application. SPIROL Disc Springs’ performance characteristics are predictable and the minimum life cycle can be calculated.
They also provide high levels of load / force within a very small space unlike alternative spring-type components which require a significantly larger footprint to achieve the same load. SPIROL’s expansive Disc Spring offering ranges from Ø8mm to Ø200mm. Standard materials include high carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel.
