Method for adjusting a diaphragm spring

摘要

A method of adjusting the axial height of the fingers of a diaphragm spring has the following steps:a) a localized area or portion of each finger is heated, andb) the sections of the finger that are adjacent to the heated are bent relative to each other so that the fingers obtain the desired axial height.The heating substantially eliminates the introduction of bending stresses into the fingers.
