HEGONG SPRING ®, also known as a Belleville spring, is a type of conical spring that is widely used for its ability to provide a large amount of force in a relatively compact space. It is constructed in the shape of a washer or a disk, and it can either be compressed or deflected to absorb energy or create pressure. DISC springs are especially valued for their high load-bearing capacity and versatility.
Load-bearing capacity: DISC springs can withstand a significant amount of load relative to their size.
Compact design: Due to their conical shape, they occupy less space while offering high force.
High fatigue resistance: These springs can handle repeated cycles without failure, which is ideal for dynamic loads.
Versatility: They can be used in various configurations, such as stacked or nested, to achieve the desired force characteristics.
DISC springs need to be made from materials that provide a balance of strength, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance. The following materials are typically used in manufacturing DISC springs:
Carbon Steel: Commonly used for standard applications, offering good strength and fatigue resistance at a relatively low cost.
Alloy Steel: Offers higher tensile strength and better fatigue resistance compared to carbon steel, ideal for heavy-duty applications.
Stainless Steel: Provides superior resistance to corrosion, making it perfect for applications in harsh environments.
Specialized Alloys: For extreme conditions (e.g., high temperatures or highly corrosive environments), specialized alloys are used to ensure the spring maintains its mechanical properties.
The performance of a DISC spring is also influenced by the heat treatment and surface finishes it undergoes. Common processes include:
Tempering and Hardening: These processes increase the strength of the material, allowing the spring to withstand higher loads.
Shot Peening: A surface treatment that improves the spring’s fatigue resistance by introducing compressive stress on the surface.
Corrosion-resistant coatings: Galvanizing, nickel plating, or passivation can be applied to prevent rust and corrosion in aggressive environments.
When selecting DISC springs for your application, there are several important factors to consider to ensure they meet your needs and deliver optimal performance.
We understand that every project has unique load requirements. It’s essential to choose a DISC spring that can handle the intended load without undergoing permanent deformation. The thickness, diameter, and material of the spring all play a role in determining how it will deflect under load.
Choosing the correct size for your DISC spring is key to achieving its best performance. The dimensions of the spring, including its outer diameter, inner diameter, and thickness, directly impact its strength and deflection characteristics.
In applications where the spring will experience repeated loading, it’s crucial to design with safety factors in mind to prevent failure over time.

Choosing the right DISC spring for your project requires a clear understanding of your specific requirements.
The first step in selecting the correct DISC spring is understanding the nature of the application.
Once the environmental and mechanical requirements are established, you need to select the appropriate grade of DISC spring.
Another crucial factor is ensuring the DISC spring can meet the load requirements of your system.
When it comes to purchasing DISC springs, the price can vary based on several key factors:
Material Type: Springs made from specialized alloys or stainless steel tend to be more expensive than those made from standard carbon steel due to the added cost of materials and processing.
Customization: Custom designs, sizes, and special finishes will increase the price.
Quantity: Bulk orders often lead to discounts, reducing the unit price.
Manufacturing Complexity: The more intricate the design and production process, the higher the cost.
DISC springs are often compared to other types of springs, such as coil springs, leaf springs, and torsion springs. While each type has its unique advantages, DISC springs generally offer a good balance between cost and performance, especially for applications where compactness and high load-bearing capacity are essential.
