BB-6003 is a disc spring from the BB Series by Century Spring Corp., specifically designed for use as a preloading spring with radial ball bearings. This spring helps maintain bearing positioning accuracy without end play, reduces vibration, and minimizes shaft deflection. The BB-6003 is made from C1075 steel and has a Rockwell hardness of C40-51, ensuring durability and performance under load. The dimensions include an outer diameter of 1.362 inches, an inner diameter of 0.882 inches, and a thickness of 0.020 inches. It is rated for a load of 27.30 lbs at a deflection of 0.047 inches. This product is suitable for applications requiring enhanced bearing rigidity and reduced operational noise.
A disc spring (sometimes called a "Belleville washer" after the inventor) consists primarily of a convex disc supported at the outer periphery by one force and an opposing force on the center of the disc. Disc springs are used singly, or in stacks, to achieve a desired load and travel. The advantage of a disc spring is that it generates high force in a very short spring length and with minimal movement when compressed. All Century Spring disc springs are subject to exacting manufacturing and quality control standards. All discs are preset so that they will not significantly relax under load over time. Century Spring also offers pre-stressed disc springs specifically sized for use with bolts.
