Belleville Washers

Washers are named by the bolt they fit: an M10 washer suits an M10 bolt. The inside diameter is slightly larger than the bolt so it slides on. Our guide covers every size and washer type we stock.
Measure the inside diameter (ID), outside diameter (OD) and thickness, as shown in the drawing.

STACKING ARRANGEMENTS
Belleville washers can be stacked in three ways: parallel (concave sides together) increases load capacity; series (alternating concave and convex) increases deflection; or a combination of both to tune both characteristics together. The product table lists individual washer rating — multiply or add according to your stack arrangement.
MATERIAL
A2-70 G304 Stainless Steel — Corrosion-resistant for outdoor, food and chemical applications.
STANDARD
Manufactured to HEC Standard sizing. The product table lists OD, ID and unloaded height for each size.

Belleville washers (also called disc springs or conical spring washers) are commonly used in high-load bolted joints to add flexibility, allow for thermal expansion, and resist vibration. They can also be stacked to maintain distance between machine parts or to tune the spring rate of a joint. Like all spring washers, they ensure a smooth bearing surface for the nut.
