With what torque are nuts for Disc Springs tightened?

If a disc spring is preloaded by means of a threaded connection (e.g. for temperature compensation), how is the torque calculated for loading the disc spring?

  • The formula is: F1*Pi*2*l/P=F2
  • F1 = force on lever arm in N
    Pi = 3.14
    l = length of lever arm in mm
    P = thread pitch in mm
    F2 = force in axial direction (i.e. in the direction of the load on the disc spring) in N
    MD = torque in Nmm
  • or F1*l=F2*P/Pi*2
  • or Md=F2*P/Pi*2
  • When putting the torque into the screw-thread-system the friction factor has to be taken into consideration.
