Friction, or hysteresis, may cause the actual measured load versus deflection for a stack of Belleville springs to be different than the calculated values. In general, friction is a result of relative "sliding" contact between loading surfaces. Hysteresis can be considered in terms of energy lost, and is not desirable in most bolting applications.

Fill out the form to download the paper, Belleville Washer Hysteresis 101, by Solon Manufacturing Co.'s Chief Engineer and Executive Vice President, George Davet, BSME, MBA, to learn how friction changes the residual load on a bolting system, thus impacting performance, and ways to reduce frictional hysteresis.
