Where possible, the guiding element and the support plate shall be made from case hardened materials, with a case depth of ≈ 0,8 mm, and have a minimum hardness of 60 HRC. The surface of the guiding element should be smooth and perfectly finished. It shall be permitted to use unhardened guiding elements where the disc spring is subject to static loading. |
