Disc springs can provide dependable solutions to industrial problems, and spring pack assemblies offer pre-engineered answers for a wide range of energy storage requirements.

Disc springs manufactured by Bauer Springs can provide dependable solutions to industrial problems, and the company's spring pack assemblies offer pre-engineered answers for a wide range of energy storage requirements.

These products are manufactured in accordance with DIN2093 Groups 1, 2 and 3 ranges A, B and C covering high, medium or low spring force capacity.

They offer considerable advantages over conventional wire wound compression springs, and these precision products should not be confused with Belleville washers which cannot supply the same degree of engineering performance and repeatability.

Disc springs combine high energy storage capacity with low space requirement and uniform annular loading.

They can provide linear or nonlinear spring loadings with their unique ability to combine high or low forces with either high or low deflection rates.

All these attributes, and more, come from single-component assemblies whose nontangle features (when compared to wirewound springs) make them ideal for automatic assembly procedures.

Disc springs conforming to DIN2093 can be supplied covering individual force rates from 117N up to 383kN at 75% deflection.

Sizes within Group 1 of the standard cover outside diameters from 6 to 40mm, and material thicknesses up to 1.25mm.

Group 2 covers sizes 20 to 200mm outside diameter and materials between 1.25 and 6mm thickness.

Group 3 covers 70 to 250mm outside diameter with materials covering the range over 3.8 to 16mm.

All standard sizes within these ranges can be manufactured, together with any other non-standard sizes required to meet customers' own specifications.

Disc spring packs can also be supplied to meet special requirements, which can include operation at elevated temperatures up to 800C.

Where corrosion resistance is also a requirement, nickel based alloys or other specialised materials can be used for manufacture, including nonmagnetic metals.

The company also offers advice on the design and application of disc spring products, to ensure that the most economical and effective solutions can be made available.
