As a Bearing Preload Disc Springs Supplier, share it with you.

The utilization rate of butterfly springs in our daily life is still relatively high. Many products in our lives will use them. What are the characteristics of disc springs? The following nuclear engineering editor wants to share with you the disc shape. The spring is different from the cylindrical spring before.

Compared with cylindrical springs, the characteristics of disc springs are:

1. Large rigidity, strong shock absorption capacity, able to withstand large loads with small deformation, suitable for occasions with small axial space requirements.

2. With variable stiffness characteristics, this spring has a wide range of nonlinear characteristics.

3. Using the same disc spring with different combinations, the spring characteristics can be changed in a wide range. It can adopt the combination of involution and superposition, and also can adopt the combination of different thickness, different number of pieces, etc. When overlapped, relative to the same deformation, the greater the number of springs, the greater the load.

Compared with cylindrical spiral springs, butterfly springs have the following characteristics:

1. The load-deformation characteristic curve is nonlinear.

2. The disc spring is in the shape of a thin plate, which is easy to form an assembly, and can be assembled and replaced in a modular manner, thus bringing convenience to maintenance.

3. Disc springs with radial grooves have zero stiffness characteristics. This feature can be used in situations where the spring force is required to be basically stable within a certain deformation range.

4. The vibration absorption performance of the disc spring is not lower than that of the cylindrical spiral spring. When the laminated combination is used, the friction between the disc springs will have greater damping and dissipate the impact energy.

The application of disc springs: In a wide range, disc springs are replacing cylindrical coil springs. It is often used in heavy machinery (such as presses), artillery, aircraft and other weapons, as a powerful buffer and damping spring, as a compression spring for clutches and safety valves of trucks and tractors, and as an energy storage element for mobile equipment.
