How many times can a Belleville Spring be used?
Belleville spring can be used indefinitely as long as it is not damaged in some way. It is perfectly acceptable to reuse the springs many times in bolted applications. However, it is important to note that as highly stressed parts, Belleville springs can be prone to failure if they have been compromised in some way. Parts can be damaged by excessive cycling, corrosion, exposure to temperatures beyond the material ratings, and mechanical damage such as galling.
