How to Select the Right Disc Spring

1. Define Load Requirements

  • Maximum load (force): Determine the highest force the spring must support.
  • Minimum load: Identify if the spring must maintain preload without bottoming out.
  • Disc springs are best used where high force with limited deflection is needed compared to coil springs.

Tip: For static or dynamic duty, choose a spring such that at ~75% of its total deflection it produces the needed load.


2. Assess Deflection & Stack Configuration

The total deflection you need often dictates whether to use:

  • Single disc springs
  • Series stacks (increase total deflection)
  • Parallel stacks (increase total load capacity)

Correct stack configuration enables you to match the force-deflection curve you want.


3. Consider Static vs. Dynamic Application

  • Static Applications: Use a disc spring that meets load needs at the static position.
  • Dynamic (many cycles): Choose springs conforming to DIN EN 16983 (formerly DIN 2093) because they are engineered for fatigue resistance.

For dynamic duty, pre-loading the spring to ≥15% of total deflection helps prevent early fatigue.


4. Dimensional Fit

Ensure the disc spring dimensions align with the assembly:

  • Inner diameter (ID): Must fit the shaft or fastener without interference.
  • Outer diameter (OD): Must sit fully on the mating surface.
  • Height (free and compressed): Must match available space at rest and under load.

These parameters must accommodate the intended minimum and maximum assembly conditions.


5. Material and Environment

Disc springs are commonly made from spring steels, stainless steels, and specialized alloys. Your choice should depend on:

  • Operating temperature
  • Corrosion exposure
  • Expected fatigue life

Higher-grade materials (e.g., corrosion-resistant, heat-tolerant steels) improve performance in harsh environments.


6. Surface & Fit Quality

Guiding surfaces and seating faces play a role in long-term performance:

  • Hardened thrust washers or guides prevent deformation on softer mating parts.
  • Attention to guide clearances ensures consistent force and repeatable deflection.

Why It Matters

Correctly selecting a disc spring helps you:

  • Maximize service life
  • Avoid premature failure due to oversizing/undersizing
  • Ensure reliable performance in both static and cyclic conditions
  • Reduce maintenance and downtime

Disc springs from the Bauer Springs CB line can be customized to meet specific demands—including tailored stack profiles and material choices—so aligning your requirements with selection criteria upfront is crucial.
