Disc Spring Manufacturers
Disc springs have been indispensable components in many systems for over 150 years, as their design makes them a resilient solution. Thanks to their cone-shaped structure, they can generate a high force in a limited space or within a short area of movement, making them ideal in the following sectors and applications:
- Automotive: spring-actuated brakes, slip and overload clutches, and suspension systems.
- Defence: landing gear systems, control surfaces, and other critical components.
- Oil and Gas: pressure relief valves and safety mechanisms.
- Renewables: wind turbines and solar panel systems.
- Rail: shock absorption systems.
- Power: power plants, including nuclear, thermal, and hydroelectric facilities.
- Medical: surgical instruments and diagnostic devices
Versatile and Resistant Spring Designs
Our engineers will tailor this spring’s dynamics to be either linear or regressive, which is where we excel as expert spring manufacturers. They are incredibly versatile due to the unlimited number of stacking combinations available, which are enhanced by guide washers to avoid friction. Aside from their remarkable versatility, disc springs also exhibit:
- Customisable load capabilities: by stacking multiple springs in series, you can customise the load to suit specific requirements.
- High fatigue resistance: designed to resist permanent deformation or failure, these springs excel in applications with dynamic loads or frequent cycling.
- Temperature stability: disc springs can maintain their properties over a wide temperature range, making them ideal in both low and high-temperature environments.
- Corrosion resistance: materials like stainless steel, titanium, or other corrosion-resistant alloys offer excellent resistance to rust and corrosion caused by moisture, chemicals, or other harsh environmental conditions.
The Best Material Choices
To manufacture durable and resilient disc springs, we advise our customers to choose the following materials:
- Stainless Steel
- Alloy Steel
- Titanium
- Inconel
- Hastelloy
We discourage the use of special materials, such as plastics and polymers, non-ferrous metals, and magnesium alloys. They are not suitable as they tend to be more malleable due to temperature ranges, decreasing tensile strength and causing the spring’s force to be lower and less effective. Of course, if you require a specific material for your projects, our experienced team of engineers will consider every available option to help you achieve your desired solution. We also offer protection against corrosion via applicable corrosive-resistant coatings, extending the life of your disc spring.
