Disc Spring
Disc Spring (Product Code: SLE/ETP/20) is a spring-testing accessory used to study how disc springs stacked in series, in parallel or in a combination of both respond to a compressive load, in machine design and strength-of-materials labs. A disc guide and a compression cylinder fit the platens of a pump-operated testing machine, so students can compare the deflection rates of different stack arrangements. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM and scientific lab equipment manufacturer in Ambala, India, at its own factory.

What Is the Disc Spring Experiment Used For?
Disc springs are common in many industries, from bolted joints and clutches to valves and heavy tooling, wherever a large force must be carried in a very small deflection. Their big advantage is flexibility of design: the same discs can be stacked in different ways to change the deflection rate. This experiment lets students discover those rules by measurement.
Students stack the discs on the disc guide in the chosen combination, operate the pump to raise the ram, and record force against deflection. Discs stacked in series give more deflection for the same force, discs in parallel carry more force for the same deflection, and mixed stacks fall in between. Keep the stack centred on the guide, raise the ram slowly, and repeat each arrangement to check consistency.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The testing machine in your laboratory, with its compression platens and pump-operated ram, so fitting can be confirmed.
- The stack arrangements you intend to teach: series, parallel or combined.
- The number of Disc Spring sets needed.
OEM Manufacturer
The Disc Spring experiment is made by ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which is its OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Manufacturing takes place at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, and the finished sets go factory-direct to engineering colleges, polytechnics, dealers and importers. For extra discs or other spares later, ask us: the manufacturer deals with those requests itself. Background is on the ScienceLab profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Disc Spring experiment used for?
The Disc Spring experiment is used to study how stacking disc springs in series, in parallel or in combination changes their deflection rate under a compressive load, and why disc springs suit small deflections at high force.
How can the disc springs be stacked?
In the Disc Spring experiment, the spring discs can be stacked on the disc guide in parallel, in series or in a combination of series and parallel, so students can compare several arrangements with the same set of discs.
How is the load applied in the Disc Spring experiment?
For the Disc Spring experiment, the disc guide is fitted to the lower compression platen and the compression cylinder to the upper platen. The pump is then operated to raise the ram and compress the springs.
Where are disc springs used in practice?
Disc springs, like those in the Disc Spring experiment, are used in many industries where a small deflection must carry a high force, for example in bolted joints, clutches, valves and tooling, because stacking lets designers tune the deflection rate.
Who manufactures the Disc Spring experiment?
The Disc Spring experiment is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Ambala, Haryana, India. Orders and spare-part requests are handled by the manufacturer directly.
What should a Disc Spring quotation request include?
