ORIGINAL SCHNORR
DISC SPRINGS
QUICK FAQS
Disc springs support a plethora of dynamic processes in a skillful, safe and efficient way – often under extreme force and load conditions.
-
Linear or progressive load deflection characteristic.
-
Long and predictable service life with dynamic load.
-
Manufactured to DIN 16983 & DIN 16984
FEATURES
-
Efficient use of space providing high spring loads.
-
Can be combined in series or parallel configurations to customize load-deflection characteristics.
-
Largely self-dampening.
-
Presetting results in no setting under static loads
APPLICATIONS
The conical shape allows springs to be combined in different ways.
Possible spring combinations:
-
For series stacks, the deflections are additive at the same force (b).
-
For parallel stacks, the forces are additive at the same deflection (c).
-
For combination of series and parallel stacking, various characteristic curves can be realized (d).
DISC SPRING STACKS
-
A guide element is needed to prevent lateral movement.
-
Inside guidance on a bolt or shaft is preferred, although outside guidance is acceptable as well.
-
The guide elements and abutments should be hardened to a minimum of 60 HRC (minimum case depth of 0.8 mm), if possible.
-
The surface of the guide element should be smooth and, if possible, ground down.
-
For static applications, guides can be unhardened.
