Springs & spring making

Disc springs – the largest force in the smallest space Founded 100 years ago as a workshop for cutting and stamping tools, Schnorr has grown into an international company in the field of disc spring and screw locking devices. The company currently has a global network of 39 branch offices and partnerships with industrial companies and groups including ABB, BorgWarner, Bosch, Daimler, Mahle, Siemens, ZF Sachs and VW.

Schnorr disc springs support a number of dynamic processes in various applications and sectors, often in extreme conditions of stress, including pre-securing, securing, creating axial force, resetting, balancing play or holding in critical moments, for the automotive industry, mechanical and plant engineering or in aerospace technology. Where the challenge is to control “the largest force in the smallest space” Schnorr disc springs are characterised by an optionally linear, digressive or progressive spring characteristic. The use of high quality materials helps secure a long service-life at dynamic stress. For new fields of application, increasedperformance requirements or specific materials a dedicated test and development depart- ment develops tailor-made solutions with the customer, specifically geared to individual requirements.
