Gardner Spring MU500-0210 Curved Disc Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MU500-0210 is a curved disc spring engineered for applications requiring controlled load and deflection in a compact, low-profile package. Manufactured from steel, this Belleville-style curved disc spring delivers a rated load of 132 pounds at a deflection of 0.0413 inches. With an outside diameter of 0.98 inches, an inside diameter of 0.525 inches, and an overall assembled height of 0.11 inches, the MU500-0210 is suited for fastener preload, vibration dampening, and spring-loaded assemblies where axial space is limited. Mechanical technicians and maintenance professionals install this type of component across industrial, HVAC, and equipment manufacturing applications.

This curved disc spring is designed for use in assemblies where consistent, repeatable spring force is needed within a tight axial envelope. Typical applications include bolted joint preloading, bearing retention, valve assemblies, and vibration isolation mounts. The 0.525-inch inside diameter accommodates a 1/2-inch bolt, making it well suited for standard fastener stack-up configurations in mechanical systems. It is commonly installed in both original equipment and field service replacement scenarios.

Key Features

• Curved disc spring design delivers controlled axial load in minimal installed height
• 132-pound load rating at 0.0413 inches of deflection for precise force specification
• 0.98-inch outside diameter and 0.525-inch inside diameter fits 1/2-inch bolt applications
• Steel construction for durability under cyclic loading conditions
• 0.11-inch overall assembled height suits tight-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-inch bolt fastener assemblies. Suitable as a replacement or OEM-style curved disc spring in mechanical assemblies requiring this outside diameter, inside diameter, and load specification.

Installation Notes

Curved disc springs should be installed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with spring stack-up configurations. Always de-energize or relieve system pressure before servicing any assembly containing disc springs. Springs may be stacked in series to increase deflection range or in parallel to increase load capacity - consult the original equipment documentation before altering the stack configuration. Inspect mating surfaces for burrs or debris that could affect load distribution or spring seating.
