Manufacturer, Spring Lee, is now offering compact and high-performance spring Belleville washers in 300-series stainless steel. The Belleville washers can be used in the aerospace, automation, and building industries, and have the ability to support very large loads with minimal use of space, and to provide variable performance characteristics by varying their assembly format.
Belleville spring washers are similar in operation to wave washers as an anti-vibration device when installed with machine screws but offering much higher load capability and can be useful to offer a visual indication of any relaxation taking place in a joint over time or under adverse conditions.
Lee Spring Belleville washers made in 300 series stainless steel are passivated in accordance with ASTM A967 and are available in sizes from 4.8mm to 95mm OD with load ratings from 25N to 58000N.
