Polysorb - disc springs made of plastic

disc springs are annulus discs stressable in the axial direction, which are turned over in the shape of a disc in the axial direction. disc springs provide a more favorable space usage than other spring types. They are particularly suitable for designs that demand a small spring deflection.

When to use Polysorb disk springs?

For the implementation of specially flat load deflection curves that are possible with metal only with considerable complexity and expenditure (slotted versions).

For compensation of axial clearance and manufacturing tolerances

For vibration compensation

For noise dampening

When an antimagnetic material is required

For electrical and thermal insulation

When no corrosion problems should arise

When lubrication is not necessary

For low weight

For low space requirement

When not to use them?

When constant spring forces are necessary over a wide temperature range

When high spring forces are required

disc springs are annulus discs stressable in the axial direction, which are turned over in the shape of a disc in the axial direction. disc springs provide a more favorable space usage than other spring types. They are particularly suitable for designs that demand a small spring deflection.

The spring deflection of the disc spring is relatively small. Therefore a number of disc springs are combined in practice. Alternatively layered disc springs enhance the spring deflection in proportion to the number, whereby the overall spring force is as large as the force of the individual disc spring. To increase the force, the disc springs can be layered in parallel as a spring packet.

Chemical resistance

Polysorb disk springs are resistant to diluted alkalis and very weak acids as well as to fuels and all kinds of lubricants. The low humidity absorption allows their use in wet or humid environment.

Humidity absorption

Polysorb disc springs absorb humidity. Thereby their mechanical properties alter. In the worst application that can be thought of - extremely long application in water - Polysorb disc springs still exhibit a maximum spring force of 10 N.

Increased operating temperature

Increased temperatures lead to the decline of stiffening in polymers. Polysorb disc springs exhibit a maximum spring force of 8 N even at the maximum permitted temperature of 80° C. The dependency of spring force on the ambient temperature is indicated in Figure 35.2.
