Disc springs

De Spiraal's disc springs offer efficient force distribution and are ideal for absorbing strong compressive or tensile forces in confined spaces. They are available in various designs, both custom-made and from stock.

About our disc springs

Disc springs are a staple of our product range and are renowned for their ability to absorb and compensate for significant axial forces. Thanks to their conical shape, these springs ensure controlled and efficient force distribution, even under high loads in a compact installation space.

Our disc springs are available in various designs: from standard models available straight from stock to fully customised variants in terms of dimensions and material properties. Thanks to our in-house machinery, we can tailor every disc spring precisely to your technical requirements, whether it’s a single unit for a prototype or a series production run.

Do you need a compact axial spring with a long service life under varying loads? In that case, a clock spring could be an alternative to the disc spring.

Applications of disc springs

In mechanical engineering, disc springs ensure reliable force distribution and compensation of axial play, which significantly extends the service life of bearings and components. In the automotive industry, they are used in clutch systems and brake mechanisms, where they dampen vibrations and regulate pressure precisely.

In electronics and precision engineering, disc springs also offer compact and efficient solutions for resilient contacts and pressure retention.

De Spiraal supplies disc springs that are available directly from stock or are fully customised. Our springs guarantee a long service life, consistent performance and low-maintenance application, perfectly tailored to your specific requirements.

Disc spring applications

Technical specifications and capabilities

Disc springs are designed for applications where large axial forces need to be absorbed, compensated, or regulated. Thanks to their conical design, they offer precise force distribution and high energy density. This makes them suitable for critical applications in the automotive, mechanical engineering, and heavy industry sectors.

Free Sizing & Configuration

We produce disc springs with material thicknesses from 0.10 to 37 mm and outer diameters up to 500 mm, fully customized for your application. Depending on your application and available installation space, we precisely tailor the characteristic to your needs. The following configurations are possible:

  • Single: The most common configuration. Provides precise force over a short deflection range. Suitable for applications requiring high force in a compact space.
  • Stacked in series: Multiple disc springs stacked one after another increase the deflection while the force remains the same as that of a single spring. Applicable when more compression is needed without increasing the force.
  • Stacked in parallel: With parallel stacking, the load capacity increases while the deflection remains the same. Common in heavy-duty applications with very high axial forces.
  • Combined stacking: A combination of series and parallel allows for precise adjustment of both force and deflection. Suitable for specialized applications with strict performance requirements.

Material Selection & Environmental Factors

The choice of material determines how a disc spring performs in your specific operating environment. We are happy to advise you on the correct alloy:

Type: Spring steel
Material number: 51CrV4 / C75
Characteristics: High tensile strength, excellent hardness, and good fatigue resistance.

Type: Stainless spring steel
Material number: 1.4310
Characteristics: Corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant, without loss of load capacity.

Is your material not listed, or are you unsure about the right choice for your application? Contact our team; we're happy to help you find a solution.

Co-Engineering: Optimize your Belleville spring

Are you dealing with critical bolted connections, bearing preload, or vibration damping? Our engineers are happy to collaborate with you from the initial sketch. By precisely tailoring the outer diameter, inner diameter, and material thickness to your design, we ensure accurate force transmission and a longer-lasting construction, for both single units and larger production runs.

Frequently asked questions

Can you also stack disc springs?

Yes, disc springs can be stacked in series or parallel to adjust spring force and stroke length. We are happy to advise you on the optimal configuration for your application.

What is a disc spring and what is it for?

A disc spring is a cone-shaped ring that provides axial force when pressed. They are used for preloading, damping or tension control in bolted connections, bearings and machine parts.

What material options are available for disc springs?

We supply disc springs in stainless steel, spring steel, Inconel and phosphor bronze, among others, tailored to temperature, strength and corrosion resistance.

Do you have standard disc springs in stock?

Yes, we have a large stock in common sizes. Customization is possible from small series.

Are disc springs suitable for repeated loads?

Standard disc springs are suitable for static or low dynamic loads. For cyclic applications, we provide fatigue-resistant disc springs.

What is the difference between a leaf spring and a disc spring?

A leaf spring bends over a flat or curved surface, while a disc spring provides axial force through compression. Leaf springs are often suitable for lateral or tangential loads.
