Characteristics and classification of disc springs
The disc spring is a washer-type spring with a frusto-conical section made of sheet metal or forged blanks. It is often used in heavy machinery (such as presses) and cannons, aircraft and other weapons, as a strong buffer and vibration damping spring, as a compression spring for clutches and safety valves of vehicles and tractors, and as an energy storage element for motorized equipment. Features of Disc Springs 1. High rigidity, strong buffering and vibration absorption ability, can withstand large loads with small deformation, and is suitable for occasions with small axial space requirements. 2. With variable stiffness characteristics, this spring has a wide range of nonlinear characteristics. 3. Using different combinations of the same disc spring can change the spring characteristics in a wide range. The combination of involution and stacking can be used, and the combination of different thicknesses and different numbers of sheets can also be used. When overlapping, the more the
