Disc Spring
Model Number: SM1000k
Accessory for TecQuipment's SM1000 to investigate disc spring force, deflection, and spring rate in different stacking arrangements.
Overview
Fits in the Universal Testing Machine (SM1000) for disc spring tests. Disc springs are common in many industries. The main applications are those that require a small deflection for high force levels. Disc springs can easily be stacked in a variety of arrangements to vary their deflection rates. The disc guide is fitted to the lower compression pattern and the compression cylinder to the upper pattern. The disc springs are stacked in the desired combination on the disc guide. The SM1000 pump is operated to raise the ram and compress the springs. The spring discs can be stacked in parallel, in series or in a combination of series and parallel.
