In the middle of the nineteenth century the conical shaped spring disc was invented. This spring disc was subsequently termed a “Belleville Washer” after the name of its inventor, Julian F. Belleville. In the 21st century, disc springs are used in endless devices such as spacecraft, satellites, medical devices, defence systems, automobiles and machine tools, to name a few.
Disc springs are conical shaped washers designed to be loaded in the axial direction only… Disc springs can be statically loaded, either continuously or intermittently, or cyclically deflected i.e. dynamically loaded.
Buy using disc spring singularly or stacked in combinations variable spring characteristics can be achieved to suite a given application.
Mubea Belleville disc springs are used in a wide variety of applications across a broad range of industries. Belleville disc springs are primarily used in applications that require an extremely high amount of force over a small deflection. In many cases Belleville springs are used to replace coil springs where space is limited, a higher force is required, or the size of the system needs to be reduced.
