A Precise Load Computing Program

Disc Spring Load Calculations Index

• 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
• Precise Load Computing Program​​

​Precise load and stress calculations require the determination of the disc spring angle B. Since this is not easily determined by physical measurement, we have developed a computer program that calculates the precise angle and arrives at the exact dimension for conical height h. This then determines accurate load and stress calculation.

​When designing special disc springs and wishing to evaluate the resultant load and stress with accuracy, please consult our Engineering Department. The load and stress formulas are correct only with assumption that the spring will be worked within the elastic limit of the material.
