Commercial Bolting Applications For Belleville Spring Washers
Bulk Belleville Spring Washers For the Commercial Industry
Belleville spring washers are conical shaped discs that are designed to deflect at a given rate and produce large loads in a very small space. Solon Manufacturing Co. is your premier supplier of bulk Belleville Washers for commercial bolting applications. Our Belleville springs maintain bolt preload by preventing bolt tension loss caused by vibration, relaxation, thermal expansion, and high-temperature yield. Solon’s Belleville springs are known for their long service life, self-dampening capabilities and compact design for use in virtually any commercial bolting application. We supply high-volume orders of imperial or metric ISO 9001: 2015-certified Belleville washers with quick turnaround times.
