As a result of the unique conical structure, the stacking or grouping Bellevilles creates a convenient, cost effective spring or locking mechanism. Based upon the specific arrangement of the Bellevilles, the defection or spring constant is affected. When stacked uniformly, a more solid joint will be created, adding a parallel spring constant and decreased deflection. When Bellevilles are stacked in an alternating arrangement, they function as a common spring would and result in a decreased spring constant and an increased deflection.
In combining arrangements of Belleville washers, a variety of reaction effects and friction resistances can be established. Adjustments can be made based on modifications to the Belleville grouping. The material, diameters and thicknesses of the Bellevilles also affect the overall performance within the application.
To accommodate the sheer variety and demand of applications requiring Bellevilles, Superior Washer carries this component in a wide range of materials, thicknesses and diameters.
