How to determine the free height of a disc spring
Thread Content
Does anyone know how to calculate the free height of a disc spring in a proper manner? A simple calculation method would be ideal. As far as I know, a reasonable angle for the width of a disc spring is around 12–18°, but this isn’t standard
1. Should a friend start his own factory and become a boss to manufacture disc springs? Lol, it would be a good idea to refer to standards or sample data from similar companies. 2. Disc springs are suitable for use in the “linear” section of their deformation characteristic curve; if custom designs are needed, different free heights and thicknesses can be adjusted to meet the user’s requirements. 3. When designing disc springs, it is necessary to calculate the stress at the three key points on the spring, ensuring that the stress does not exceed the allowable values throughout the maximum operating range
