Anyone know of a source of really thin / low thrust belleville washers?

You can put the washers in series to reduce their effective
spring rate. You put them on alternating up and down.

The rate/distance will decrease, as you are increasing the max distance
of travel allowed. Or to look at it differently, when you make space and
double the springs this way, and keep your initial compression distance
the same, you cut the actual compressed distance of one spring in half.

For a comprehensive selection of belville springs, and any other spring
you can imagine, look at these guys:

Good folks to deal with.
