Belleville Disc Washers

High Loads in Small Spaces

When your compression spring application requires a high load in small spaces, Lee Spring's Belleville Disc Washers can be the solution. Their conical configuration enables them to support high loads with relatively small deflections and solid heights compared to helical springs. Belleville Disc Washers are often used to solve vibration, thermal expansion, relaxation and bolt creep problems.

Lee Spring Standard Series Belleville Disc Washers are manufactured from 300 Series Stainless Steel. Additionally, Lee Spring Standard Series Belleville Disc Washers are passivated in accordance with specification ASTM A967 (supercedes QQ-P35) to remove contaminants and further improve resistance to corrosion. 300 Series Stainless Steel is slightly magnetic and is recommended for applications with temperatures up to 500°F (260 °C).

The Lee Spring DIN Belleville Disc Washer Series offers metric disc spring washers to meet global demand for sizes specified by DIN 2093.  Lee Spring also expand on size options past DIN 2093’s standard size tables, made to DIN manufacturing and quality specifications to provide component flexibility for product designers. DIN Belleville Disc Washers are made with 51CrV4 spring steel (AISI 6150) and finished with a phosphate and oil surface for general protection from corrosion.
