Itincludes graphs showing the permissible relaxation and the endurance ite of such springs, as a function of stress. ‘The minimum requirements specified here are intended to ensure the proper performance of conical disc springs, and may also be applied to non-standardized springs. “The three series specified here represent groups of spring sizes which have met with general acceptance in practice. ‘Conical disc springs are not intended to be used with boltinut assembles to counteract the effect of setting (as are DIN 6796 ‘conical spring washers, for example). 2 Concept Conical dise springs (springs, for short) are annular coned elements that offer resistance to a compressive force applied axi- ally. They may be designed as single discs or as discs stacked in parallel or in series, either singly or in multiples. They may 'be subjected to both static and fatigue loading, and may have ground end surfaces (ground ends’ or shor), Continued on pages 2 10 11 168Outside diameter of spring Inside diameter of spring Mean coil diameter Modulus of elasticity ‘Spring load of a single disc (with or without ground ends) Relaxation Length of springs stacked in series or in parallel, inthe initial position Design length of springs stacked in series or in parallel, inthe flattened position Number of cycles to failure Initial cone height of springs without ground ends (equal to free overall height, lo, ‘minus 1) Number of discs stacked in seres, singly orn multiples Free overall height of spring in its intial position Deflection of single disc Detlections associated withthe spring loads designated F,, Fa, Fa.

Stresses in springs subject to fatigue loading 11.1. Minimum initial deflection to avoid cracking Springs subject to fatigue loading shall be designed and installed in such a way that the intial deflection, sy, is from ‘about 0,15 fp t0 0.20 hg, in order to avoid cracking at the Upper inner edge (point I cf. igure 1) as a result of residual slresses from the setting process. 11.2 Stresses Figures § to 7 illustrate the endurance life of conical disc springs subject to fatigue loading that have not been shot Peened.

Where additional types of loading (2.9, sudden dynamic loading or that which results from reso- nance) act on the spring, it may be assumed that their ‘endurance life will be shorter. Where such is the case, the values given in the above figures shall be converted by 176 appropriate factors of safety, the spring manufacturer being consulted where necessary. NOTE: Reliable information regarding the endurance life is not available for springs made from materials ‘other than those specified here, for springs consisting ‘of more than ten single discs stacked in series, for other arrangements of stacks of springs, nor for springs subjected to chemical or thermal effects, a- though some relevant information is usually obtain- able from the spring manufacturer. In the case of springs which exhibit a highly degressive load! deflection curve (springs of series C consisting of a large ‘number of single discs stacked in series), an uneven distibu- tion of total applied load from the single discs can be expect- ed due to the friction betwoon the discs and the centring element and to dimensional deviations. In this case, the end of the spring subject to deflection receives the higher portion cf loading, which results in an endurance life that is shorter than can be read from figures 5 to 7, 12. Materials Springs in accordance with this standard shall be made from high-grade stee! with a modulus of elasticity, E, of 208.000 Nimm?, as specified in either DIN 17221” or DIN 17 222, it being noted that Ck stee! shall only be used for the manufacture of group 1 springs. NOTE: Other materials shall be the subject of agree- ment (e.g. stainless steel for springs in accordance with DIN 17 224, copper alloys (spring bronze) in ac- cordance with DIN 1777), since their moduli of elas- ticity and strength properties will likely be different. The values given for F and a in tables 2 to 4 then cease to apply. It is therefore recommended to con- sult with the spring manufacturer.Page 10.

For group 1 springs, the Vickers hardness is to be determined. 142. Shot peening It is recommended that shot peening be carried out on ‘Springs subjected to severe loading, which enables the values given in figures § to 7 to be increased. This procedure ‘shall be the subject of agreement. 143. Corrosion protection Whether and which corrosion protection is to be provided, shall be a function of the particular spring application. Suit. able corrosion protection measures. include phosphating, black finishing, and the application of protective. metalic coatings such as zine or nickel Electroplating processes using aqueous solutions that are currently available may not preciude the risk of hydrogen ‘embritlement. Springs with a hardness exceeding 40 HRC {are more prone to the risk of hydrogen embrittiement than, softer springs. Particular care shall therefore be taken when, selecting the material, manufacturing process, heat treat- ment and surface treatment of springs (cf. DIN 50 960). Where springs are to be electroplated, itis recommended that the manufacturer be consulted, and that this procedure ‘ot be used for springs subject to fatigue loading, 15 Testing Determination of the properties covered in subctauses 15.1 ‘and 15.2 shall be the subject of agreement between purchas- fer and manufacturer. 15.1. Check of dimensions and other spring characteristics ‘The specifications given in DIN 267 Part 6 shall apply in add tion to the characterises and qualty levels specified in table 11 Table 11 ‘Spring characteristics AOL value Major characteristics Spring load, F (where s = 0,75 hg) ‘ Outside diameter, D, Inside diameter, D, Minor characteristics: Free overall height in initial position, fy aa Spring thickness, 1 or : Surface roughness, Ry 15.2 Hardness testing ‘Rockwell hardness testing shall be carried out as specified in, DIN 50 103 Part 1, and Vickers hardness testing (for group 1 springs), as in DIN 50 133. The indentation shall be made on the upper surface of the spring, at a point that lies centrally between the inner and outer edges. 16 Other relevant requirements Where possible, the centring element and the seat shall be made from case-hardened materials, with a case depth of ‘about 0,8 mm, and have a hardness of 55 HRC. The surtace ofthe centring element shall be smooth and, where possible, polished. It shall be permitted to use unhardened centring elements, where the spring is subject to static loading 177DIN 2093.
