The CBS650612 Contact Disc Spring from Century Spring Corp. features a conical shape designed to provide reactive force and high elasticity for effective bolt connections. It compensates for loss of bolt tension due to surface deterioration or thermal expansion and contraction. The hardened, serrated profile enhances grip on the lower surface of bolts or nuts, preventing loosening during extreme vibrations or shocks. This disc spring is made from high-quality carbon spring steel and is suitable for various applications, including use in SEMS assemblies and confined spaces under socket head screws. The dimensions include a maximum outer diameter of 0.559 inches, a minimum inner diameter of 0.240 inches, and a reference thickness of 0.052 inches. The calculated load at flat is 3350 pounds, making it a robust choice for applications requiring reliable tension maintenance.
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.
