Disc springs now available pre-stacked
Spirol has announced that it is now able to offer pre-stacked disc springs. While some applications only require a single Disc, others require a number of Disc Springs to be stacked in a particular configuration to achieve specific force/deflection performance requirements.
Historically, Spirol has supplied disc springs in bulk packaging, and the customers have fashioned the discs into the prescribed stacks during the assembly process. Spirol now offers pre-stacked disc springs (greased or ungreased) in custom configurations packaged in shrink wrap with a perforated tab for ease of insertion into the application.
The pre-stacke discs are delivered intact to the assembly line where the operator simply has to place the stack into the assembly and remove the shrink wrap – which is perforated for easy removal. This saves customers the time, investment and mess associated with greasing the stacks. Having pre-stacked disc springs delivered directly to the assembly line also helps to mistake-proof the process.
Spirol also says that its engineers can often configure a stack of smaller, less costly discs to get the same performance as larger, more expensive disc springs.
