Thanks for the info,
The polyurethane discs I was looking at had a compression load of about 700lbs at .025 deflection so they are pretty stiff. These are for a 5/8 od shaft and are .250 thick. The reason I am curious about this is if it is possible to preload at about 100 lbs with these, you would have a pretty rigid assembly and it would behave pretty much the same as disc springs. I dont think any particular advantage exists with using them, just exploring the possibilities. |
