How to Properly Use Belleville Washers
Understanding Belleville or Conical Washers
Belleville washers—also known as conical washers or disc springs—are designed to help fasten heavy loads and withstand vibrations or thermal expansion without a loss of torque.

Below, we’ll provide a breakdown of what you need to know about Belleville washers.
