한국 Pre-Stacked Disc Springs
SPIROL offers Disc Springs pre-stacked in custom configurations (greased or ungreased) packaged in shrink wrap with a perforated tab for ease of insertion into the assembly. The Pre-Stacked Disc Springs are delivered intact which saves time, mistake-proofs the assembly process, and eliminates the mess associated with greasing the stack.

Additional Disc Spring Options
Need Help?
SPIROL’s Application Engineers will assist you in the design and selection of the most cost effective Disc Spring Stack to fit in your space constraints while meeting your specific force and deflection requirements. Our experienced team can often configure a stack of smaller, less costly Disc Springs to get the same performance as larger, more expensive Discs. Our Engineers will also assist in developing special Disc Spring Stacks to meet the requirements of unique applications. This includes special dimensions, materials, finishes, shapes, shot peening, presetting and stacking.
Application Success Stories
Disc Spring Stack in Crane Overload Safety Switch
Customer Challenge:
A manufacturer approached SPIROL for assistance on designing a stack of Disc Springs that would reliably activate an overload mechanism for a warehouse crane. The manufacturer’s design allowed the crane to function within a range 800 – 2400kg (7.85 – 23.54kN), and the Disc Springs were to activate the overload mechanism preventing the use of the crane at loads over 2700kg (26.48kN). The manufacturer’s design parameters limited the maximum Disc Spring diameter to 94mm and a stack height of 150mm.
Although the stop mechanism is only used on the rare occasion when the crane is overloaded, this is considered a dynamic application as the Disc Springs will be cycling each time the crane is used.
SPIROL SOLUTION:
- SPIROL’s Application Engineering Team determined that (20) alloy steel (51CrV4) Disc Springs (DSC 90 x 46 x 5mm WR) stacked in series would provide the nominal force/deflection requirements within the physical constraints of the design. To ensure the Disc Spring Stack would perform as desired at the minimum and maximum material conditions, SPIROL Engineering’s evaluation included calculating the performance of the Disc Spring Stack at the extreme limits of the tolerance range. This included the spring force tolerance of the Disc Spring (+10 / -5% @s = 0.75ho) coupled with ± 2-3% applied to the final force value to account for the minimal effect of friction between the Disc Springs since there were no Discs stacked in parallel.
- In the end, the recommended Disc Spring Stack met all performance requirements within the physical constraints of the design.

Disc Spring Stack in Mechanical Clutch in Heavy Duty Right Angle Drill
Customer Challenge:
The lead engineer at a prominent hand and power tool company contacted SPIROL for help determining the best Disc Spring design for a new lightweight, compact, and portable Heavy Duty Right Angle Drill.
SPIROL SOLUTION:
- SPIROL Engineering designed two special Disc Springs stacked in series to meet the specific force and deflection requirements.
- Disc Springs offer a higher load capacity in less space as compared to conventional coil springs which enables the designer to make the tool more compact.
- Unlike Belleville Washers that are mostly used in static applications, Disc Springs provide unparalleled predictability, reliability and fatigue life in highly dynamic applications.
- By partnering with SPIROL and incorporating our recommendation, the customer minimized costly development time and confidently launched their new high-quality drill to the market.
Disc Spring Stack in Turret Punch Press Assembly
Customer Challenge:
Traditional turret punch press tool designs utilize coil springs (die springs) to facilitate the stripping mechanism of a die. Rather than using a ram to push the punch through the sheet metal and pull it out, the spring automatically retracts the punch. This allows the ram to only have to work in one direction. The result reduces wear and extends the cycle life of the press.
SPIROL SOLUTION:
- Since the development of coil springs in turret tooling, engineers have been challenged to increase the productivity of turret presses even further. In a traditional press, the option of material type and material thickness is limited by the coil springs inability to produce a high force in a short linear distance. When this performance is necessary, coil springs will have a negative effect on the quality of the formed product and efficiency of the manufacturing process.
- SPIROL® Disc Springs are the solution to form thick materials, large extrusions, and more complex designs. When stacked in series (Figure 1), they are capable of providing a greater, more consistent stripping force than coil springs and require less space. They have become an instrumental component in the advancement of turret punch press tooling
