[edit] Series-stacked Bellevilles

The article currently says:

Stacking in an alternating direction is the same as adding springs in series, resulting in a lower spring constant and greater deflection.

Shouldn't that read "the same spring constant but allowing greater total deflection"?

(And series-parallel stackings also can be utilized.)

In a series stack, the spring constant will slightly decrease but it is usually negligible.

[edit] Merge with Washer?

  • Probably oppose -- Unless people are planning a big expansion of washer, I'd oppose the merger. A Belleville is a pretty-specialized kind of washer, not really used for the same purposes as many other washers. Atlant 21:53, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I oppose this as well. In application it is as much a spring as a washer. Tom Harrison Talk 21:57, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Also weak oppose the function of a Belleville washer is more spring than washer. Megapixie 23:48, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I oppose it as well. The only time a belleville spring acts as a washer is when it is compressed to flat. It is not distributing the load like a washer but is applying a load to the contact surface. Gkumar
  • Oppose. I wanted to find information about Bellevill washers myclob 23:56, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
  • I oppose as well, washer is too general and serves a different purpose. Iepeulas 18:13, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Seems pretty settled, at least for now ;-).
