Disc Spring DIN2093/EN16983

Product Overview

 

DIN 2093 / EN 16983 disc springs are conical load-bearing components engineered to absorb heavy axial loads in restricted spatial envelopes. Compressive force flattens the geometry, providing high restoring forces either individually, stacked in parallel for multiplied load capacity, or arranged in series for extended deflection.

 

 
 
Product Types & Configurations

Series A:

Outer diameter (OD) greater than 50 mm, machined or fine-blanked, manufactured with defined contact bearing faces.

Series B:

30 mm <= OD <= 50 mm, fine-blanked, bearing faces optional relative to material thickness.

Series C:

Outer diameter below 30 mm, fine-blanked without bearing faces, stamped directly from precision strip stock.

Stacking Configurations:

Single spring, parallel stacking (identical orientation), and series stacking (alternating orientation).

 

Key Features
 

High energy storage capacity within minimal axial space.

Linear or progressive load-deflection characteristics dictated by the thickness-to-height ratio (h0/t).

Inherent resistance to catastrophic structural failure; progressive crack propagation preserves residual load capacity prior to replacement.

Predictable force output under dynamic cyclic loading within defined stress limits.

Applications
 

Pre-loading of large-diameter bearing assemblies to eliminate axial play and reduce vibrational wear.

Clamping mechanisms in CNC machine tool spindles and automated tool change cylinders.

Safety relief valves and heavy-duty butterfly valve actuators requiring rapid, high-force actuation.

Thermal expansion compensation in high-temperature pipeline flanges and industrial heat exchangers.

 

Manufacturing & Quality Control

Raw Material Verification: Incoming spectrometer chemical composition checks and eddy current testing for internal subsurface defects.


Forming Methods: Precision cold stamping for small dimensions (Series C); hot or cold forming paired with fine-blanking for heavy-duty Series A.

Heat Treatment:

Controlled atmosphere austempering lines establishing uniform martensitic microstructures and target hardness levels (42 to 52 HRC).

Shot Peening:

Centrifugal wheel and air-blast peening applied to compressive surfaces to introduce residual compressive stress layers, increasing fatigue life by up to 300 percent.

Load Testing:

100 percent full-load static testing on automated sorting equipment to verify deflection forces at 0.25h0, 0.5h0, and 0.75h0 in accordance with DIN 2093 tolerances.

 

Customization & OEM

Non-standard dimensions engineered for legacy equipment retrofit or unique spatial constraints.

Laser-etched part numbers, tracking batch codes, or client logos on larger spring components.

Specialized alloy procurement backed by full mill test certificates (EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2).

Custom load-testing protocols and batch-specific test reports supplied with shipments.

 

FAQ

 

Q: What distinguishes Series A, B, and C under DIN 2093?

A: Classification depends strictly on outer diameter dimensions and thickness proportions. Series A covers large springs featuring designated bearing faces to minimize friction wear against guide pins. Series B covers medium dimensions with optional bearing faces, and Series C covers small stamped springs without bearing faces.

Q: How do parallel and series stacking affect load and deflection?

A: Stacking identical springs in parallel adds individual load capacities at a given deflection while maintaining the deflection limit of a single spring. Stacking in series adds total deflection capacity under a constant load while keeping load capacity equal to a single spring. Mixing thicknesses creates progressive rate curves.

Q: What causes premature load loss (relaxation) in disc springs?

A: Load loss results from operating temperatures exceeding material tempering limits, exceeding maximum calculated stress limits during deflection, or severe chemical corrosion. Utilizing alloy steels like 51CrV4 up to 250 degrees Celsius or Inconel for elevated temperatures prevents thermal relaxation.

Q: Why is shot peening critical for dynamic applications?

A: Dynamic loading generates tensile surface stresses that initiate fatigue micro-cracks. Shot peening bombards the surface with steel media to induce residual compressive stresses, arresting crack propagation and extending the operational lifecycle under cyclic conditions.

Q: What surface treatment prevents corrosion without risking embrittlement?

A: Zinc flake coatings provide galvanic corrosion protection without introducing atomic hydrogen, completely eliminating the risk of hydrogen embrittlement associated with electrolytic zinc plating on high-strength spring steels.

Q: What documentation accompanies production shipments?

A: Every shipment includes a standard Inspection Certificate per EN 10204 2.3. Material test reports (EN 10204 3.1) and batch-specific load-deflection test curves are provided upon request prior to order confirmation.
