The Schnorr Disc Spring Washer Plain is a conical disc spring to DIN EN 16983 that maintains bolt preload through spring deflection, absorbing settlement, thermal movement and vibration in critical bolted joints across heavy industrial, energy and rail applications.
Heavy Industry and Mining
- Crusher, mill and screening equipment bolted connections requiring spring preload retention
- Conveyor drive and tail pulley fastening subject to dynamic loading and settlement
- Heavy plant base-plate and foundation fastening where differential settlement must be compensated
Rail and Transport Infrastructure
- Rolling stock bolted connections requiring spring-loaded preload retention
- Rail track mounting, clip and base plate fastening subject to vibration and dynamic loading
- Bridge expansion joint and bearing pad fastening requiring preload compensation
Wind Energy and Renewables
- Tower flange and nacelle bolted connections requiring spring preload retention through thermal cycling
- Turbine and generator assembly using disc springs for vibration damping
Precision Machinery and Pressure Equipment
- Pump and valve bolted joints requiring disc spring preload retention
- Pressure vessel and heat exchanger flange fastening where gasket relaxation must be compensated
- Precision machinery spindle, bearing and housing connections requiring consistent clamping force
Structural and Civil Engineering
- Critical structural connections requiring spring-loaded preload compensation
- Seismic isolator and vibration isolation mount fastening
