For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 26909 apply.
NOTE Disc springs are annular coned elements that offer resistance to a compressive load applied axially.
They may be designed as single disc springs or as disc springs stacked in parallel or in series, either singly or in
multiples. They may be subjected to both static and fatigue loading, and may have flat bearings.
