Single Disc Spring |
Disc Springs in ParellelHelpful hints |
 | Disc springs are assembled 'nested' inside each other, i.e. the same way up, the resultant force for such a column is the force element of a single disc spring multiplied by the number of 'nested' disc springs in the column, whilst the deflection remains the same as for that applicable to a single disc spring. |
Total Force = Force of single disc spring Total Deflection = Deflection of single disc spring | Total Force = 2 X Force of single disc spring Total Deflection = Deflection of single disc spring |
Disc Springs in SeriesHelpful hints | Disc Springs in Series & ParellelHelpful hints |
Single disc springs are assembled 'opposed to each other' to form a spring column. This 'in series' formation is a means of multiplying the deflection of a single disc spring, the force element remains as that for a single spring. | The combination of both series and parallel stacking is a means of multiplying both force and deflection. |
Total Force = Force of single disc spring Total Deflection = 2 X Deflection of single disc spring | Total Force = 2 X Force of single disc spring Total Deflection = 2 X Deflection of single disc spring |
