Schnorr Disc Springs
Disc Spring EngineeringMaximum load - minimum space - maximum flexibility
This is the combination of parallel sets in series (figure 21 - d). For ‘i’ sets in series and ‘n’ springs in parallel following results without considering friction: Spring load
Formula 23
Spring Deflection
Formula 24
Unloaded Stack Length
Formula 25
With this arrangement the spring load is proportional to the number of disc springs in parallel, while the deflection in proportional to the number of sets. In formula 25 t must be replaced with t’ if necessary.
