Inconel718 Bearing Disc Spring - High-temperature Resistant for Aerospace Bearing Preload
Aerospace high-temperature bearing systems—including aircraft turbine engines (e.g., CFM56, LEAP series), satellite reaction wheels, and rocket propulsion assemblies—operate under extreme thermal cycling (-270°C to 650°C), high vibration (10-2000Hz), and corrosive atmospheric conditions. Our Inconel718 Bearing Preload Disc Spring is engineered as a mission-critical elastic component to address these challenges.
Product Configurations
- Grooved Series: For high-speed precision applications up to 15,000 RPM
- Grooveless Series: For heavy-load static applications up to 800 kN
- Precision: Annular geometry with tolerance class IT5 (±0.02mm on critical dimensions)
Key Performance Metrics
| Parameter |
Performance Specification |
| Thermal Stability |
Sustains continuous operation at 650°C (peak 800°C); retains 80% tensile strength at 500°C, 70% at 650°C |
| Fatigue Resistance |
Exceeds 10⁷ cycles at 40% ultimate strength; maintains stable preload force (±5% variation) |
| Load Multiplication |
4-5x force output in parallel stacks (2-6 discs); uniform load distribution (±3% variance) |
Material & Surface Engineering
Constructed from Inconel718 superalloy (Ni-52%, Cr-19%, Fe-18%, Nb-5%) with proprietary heat treatment cycle (solution annealing at 980°C + double aging at 720°C/620°C) to form γ" precipitates. Dacromet surface treatment (zinc-aluminum flake coating, 8-12μm thickness) provides superior oxidation resistance, passing 1500+ hours of neutral salt spray testing (ASTM B117).
Application-Specific Optimizations
- Turbine Engine Bearings: Grooved series with 6 equidistant radial grooves reduces radial stress by 30% during high-speed rotation
- Satellite Bearings: Grooveless design with shot-peened surfaces (HV 500-550) enhances resistance to micro-vibration-induced fatigue
Additional Technical Data Available: Preload force calibration data for specific engine models (e.g., GE9X) and thermal shock test results (1000 cycles between -200°C and 600°C).
