Schnorr Disc Springs
Disc Spring EngineeringMaximum load - minimum space - maximum flexibility
A stack of āiā springs in single series (figure 21 - b) results in the following without considering friction:
Spring Load
Formula 17
Spring Deflection
Formula 18
Unloaded Stack Length
Formula 19
Only the deflection is multiplied by the number of springs in series, not the load.
