Dacromet Bearing Preload Disc Spring
Advanced Corrosion Protection for Automotive Bearing Assemblies
Automotive bearing assemblies operate in extremely harsh environments characterized by cyclic humidity, road salt exposure, abrasive dust, and temperature fluctuations (-40°C to 120°C). Our Dacromet Bearing Preload Disc Spring is engineered to deliver exceptional anti-corrosion performance specifically optimized for automotive bearing pre-tightening applications.
Key Performance Advantages
- Available in both grooved and grooveless configurations with precision-machined annular geometry
- Ensures uniform load distribution (±2% tolerance) during multi-plate parallel stacking
- Superior load multiplication with the same displacement, achieving up to 4.5x force output compared to single-disc configurations
- Maintains stable preload force (±5% variation) over 10⁷ load cycles
- 40% extension in bearing service life and 25% reduction in maintenance costs
