DISC SPRING LOAD CALCULATIONS

The Nomenclature section describes the spring parameters used in calculations. Load in lbs at a given deflection and flat are the formulas. When calculating loads take care to pay special attention to the four factors mentioned below.

• NOMENCLATURE used in spring calculations.
• LOAD IN LBS AT A GIVEN DEFLECTION AND FLAT theoretic formulas
• TRUE RADIUS FACTOR Shape of the actual edge has an impact.
• CORNER RADIUS FACTOR A spring does not have square corners.
• TRUE CONE HEIGHT FACTOR The flat area at the middle of the spring.
• FLATTENING AT EDGE FACTOR The flat area at the edge of the spring.
