<p>The performance of a leaf spring disc clamp can be enhanced by increasing the flatness of an annular contact surface while the clamp is in its fully deflected, installed position. Such a disc clamp exhibits substantially improved flatness at a minor expense in applied axial force. It has been determined that a lapping process can be used to achieve a desired level of performance without fully deflecting the clamp prior to installation in a disc pack.</p> |
