'Elastic' Technical Components Enjoy Growing Engineering Success

Christian Bauer disc springs are manufactured to the tolerances, material specifications and performance parameters of DIN 2093, provide highly reliable ‘elastic’ technical components which can form the building block elements of spring packs. Under applied load or torque, the spring yields with a defined and repeatable deformation, while an opposing reaction force is at the same time stored as energy within the spring.

With their precise and controlled characteristics they are becoming ever more recognised as ideal components where high forces, are combined with limited space, precise movement, long-term reliability and virtually maintenance-free operation.

Some innovative automotive applications include a slotted disc spring for alternators providing tolerance compensation, stress and vibration damping together with resistance to high temperatures, corrosion and salt water attack. A disc spring pack is used for dynamic pressure control within an exhaust pipe assembly involving metallic and ceramic elements. Self securing disc spring used on differential gear shaft to eliminate circlip. Parallel assembly spring pack used in an electro-hydraulic parking brake to complement the electro-mechanical lock/release mechanism.
