1. Solon® Belleville Springs & Washers are conically shaped
discs that will deflect (flatten) at a given rate. The spring rate is usually very high, allowing the spring to produce very large loads in a very small space.
2. Solon® Belleville Springs & Washers are used in a variety of applications across many different environments. These
springs are used to maintain bolt preload by preventing bolt
tension loss due to differential thermal expansion, high-
temperature bolt yield, packing and gasket relaxation, and
vibration.
3. One of the most common applications for a Belleville spring is
a bolted joint. The key to having a sound, bolted joint
connection is that some minimum preload must be
maintained. If the preload falls below this minimum, the joint
will fail. In some applications, joint failure may cause a minor
nuisance or cosmetic issue. In other applications, failure
may be catastrophic resulting in significant property loss,
injury, or death.
4. Solon® Belleville Springs & Washers can be "stacked" in a
variety of configurations in order to achieve greater, or more
specific, load capacity.
5. Properly used Solon® Belleville Springs & Washers can
reduce the loss of preload by a factor of 5X or more, and
greatly reduce the opportunity for a failure.
