Product Description

The Conical Washer is a high-strength, elastic fastener designed to provide stable preload, prevent loosening, and absorb vibrations in mechanical assemblies. Also known as a spring conical washer, conical disc spring washer, or Belleville conical spring washer, this washer delivers superior axial load in a compact design compared to flat washers. For applications requiring consistent torque and reliable fastening, the Conical Washer is an essential component in industrial, automotive, and precision machinery systems.

Manufactured using high-quality materials such as 65Mn, SK5, and SK7, the washer offers excellent elasticity, fatigue resistance, and long-term durability. With an outer diameter ranging from 1.7–28 mm, inner diameter 0.83–20.5 mm, and thickness 0.15–2.0 mm, it can accommodate a wide variety of bolts, shafts, and bearing systems. Optional surface treatments—including eco-friendly nickel, electroless nickel, blackening, and zinc-nickel alloy—provide superior corrosion resistance for demanding environments.


Key Features (Data-Supported)

  • High Hardness & Elasticity: Heat-treated to HRC 43–50, ensuring stable spring force under heavy loads.

  • Wide Dimensional Range: OD 1.7–28 mm, ID 0.83–20.5 mm, thickness 0.15–2.0 mm.

  • Durable Materials: 65Mn, SK5, and SK7 deliver long-term fatigue resistance.

  • Multiple Surface Treatments: Eco-nickel, electroless nickel, blackening, zinc-nickel alloy for enhanced anti-corrosion performance.

  • High Axial Load: Conical design generates torque within shafts, improving stability and bearing life.

  • Vibration Resistance: Ideal for high-vibration machinery, automotive assemblies, and precision devices.

  • Suitable for applications requiring a conical lock washer or spring conical-washer solution.


Advantages

  • Maintains consistent preload to prevent loosening under vibration or thermal expansion.

  • Compact design with strong load capacity compared to flat washers.

  • Enhances mechanical stability and shaft performance.

  • Long service life due to high fatigue resistance.

  • Corrosion-resistant options allow use in challenging environments.

  • Compatible with bolts, bearings, spindles, and high-precision assemblies.


Applications

The Conical Disc Spring Washer delivers exceptional performance through its unique conical geometry, controlled preload force, and superior fatigue resistance. Across a wide range of mechanical and structural applications, it consistently ensures the three core user-perceived results you aim to achieve:
smooth rotational feel, strong connection strength, and long service life.


1. Bearing & Rotational Assemblies – Smooth, Solid Rotational Feel

  • Provides stable axial preload to eliminate gaps and minimize vibration.

  • Ensures a firm, precise rotational response with reduced backlash.

  • Automatically compensates for minor wear over time, maintaining long-term smoothness.

Achieved Effect: High preload → No wobble → Smooth rotational feel


2. Industrial Machinery Connections (Motors, Gear Housings, CNC Components) – Strong, Reliable Joint Strength

  • The Conical Disc Spring Washer generates high load within a compact space, ensuring firm and secure fastening.

  • Maintains reliable clamping force even under vibration, torque fluctuations, and shock loads.

  • Ideal for applications requiring anti-loosening, torque resistance, and structural stability.

Achieved Effect: Strong clamping → Anti-vibration → Connection with strength


3. Automatic Opening/Closing & Torsion Mechanisms – Extended Service Life

  • Withstands high-frequency cyclic loading without performance decay.

  • Provides controlled elastic force during torsional or opening/closing movements.

  • Used in robotic arms, actuators, jigs, fixtures, and automation mechanisms requiring long, stable operational life.

Achieved Effect: High fatigue resistance → Consistent cycles → Long service life


4. Automotive Systems (Braking, Suspension, Engine Mounts) – Stable, High-Strength Performance

  • Keeps brake assemblies stable with continuous, reliable preload.

  • Absorbs shock and vibration in suspension systems for durable structural integrity.

  • Supports engine mounts by buffering torque and extending component lifespan.

Achieved Effect: Impact resistance → Secure fastening → Durability improvement


5. Tooling & Mold Equipment – Precision Alignment & Long-Term Stability

  • Ensures precise positioning during mold opening/closing through stable elastic recovery.

  • Maintains constant clamping force in jigs and fixtures, preventing loosening over time.

  • Retains elasticity even after prolonged operation or repeated cycling.

Achieved Effect: High precision → No deformation → Stable long-term performance
