Subject: Re: [Spridgets] Help needed on conical washers
Hello Greg,
Conical washers, also known as Belleville washer are installed
with the height of the dome toward the nut or bolt, and the
"hollow" toward the work. Proper torque is essential when using
this style, as too much will flatten and so destroy its
characteristics.
I've never seen them used outside of electrical installations,
where they are employed to keep bus bar connections tight that
expand and contract due to the the heating and cooling caused by
various current loads.
If you look up Belleville washers you can find the proper
torque/size.

Best regards,
Bill L
