Overview

EN 16983:2016 (CEN) - "Disc springs - Quality specifications - Dimensions" defines minimum quality and dimensional requirements to ensure correct functioning of disc (conical) springs. The standard covers material selection, manufacturing, dimensional tolerances, spring forces, allowable relaxation (creep) and fatigue life as a function of stress. It applies to three dimensional series and divides disc springs into three groups (based on manufacturing process and material thickness) with assignment to a dimensional series governed by the h0/t ratio.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and classification
    • Division into three groups (manufacturing process linked to thickness) and three dimensional series (A, B, C) based on the h0/t ratio.
  • Materials
    • Steel grades referenced (EN 10083 series, EN 10089, EN 10132-4); notes for other materials (stainless steel EN 10151, copper alloys EN 1654) requiring manufacturer consultation.
    • Design modulus of elasticity for steel: E = 206 000 MPa (used for calculations in the standard).
  • Dimensions & designation
    • Nominal sizes, outer/inner diameters (De, Di), thickness (t), initial cone height (h0), free overall height (l0) and designation format.
  • Manufacturing processes
    • Heat treatment, shot peening, presetting, surface finish and corrosion protection, plus surface quality requirements.
  • Tolerances & performance
    • Tolerances on diameters, thickness, free overall height and spring load (single and stacked springs).
    • Creep/relaxation limits and permissible stresses for static, rarely alternating and dynamic loading; fatigue life guidance as a function of stress.
  • Testing & inspection
    • Dimensional checks, spring force tests, hardness testing, and reference to acceptance inspection practices.

Applications and users

Who benefits from EN 16983:2016:

  • Spring manufacturers - for production tolerances, heat treatment and surface treatments.

Die Norm EN 16983:2016 legt umfassende Qualitätsanforderungen für Scheibenfedern fest und definiert die wesentlichen Dimensionen, die zur Sicherstellung ihrer einwandfreien Funktion erforderlich sind. Die Anforderungen beziehen sich sowohl auf die Materialien als auch auf die Herstellungsprozesse der Scheibenfedern, was die Relevanz der Norm für die Industrie unterstreicht. Ein wesentlicher Stärke dieser Norm ist die detaillierte Regelung der Toleranzen bezüglich der Abmessungen und Federkräfte, die für die funktionale Integrität von Scheibenfedern entscheidend sind. Diese Anforderungen garantieren, dass die Federn unter den vorgesehenen Belastungen effizient arbeiten und dabei die Sicherheitsstandards einhalten. Die Norm beschreibt zudem die zulässige Relaxation und Lebensdauer der Federn in Abhängigkeit von der Belastung, was für Anwendungen von entscheidender Bedeutung ist, in denen Scheibenfedern wiederholten Spannungen ausgesetzt sind. Diese Aspekte ermöglichen eine bessere Planung und Nutzung von Scheibenfedern in verschiedenen technischen Anwendungen. Darüber hinaus ist die Klassifikation der Scheibenfedern in Gruppen und dimensionale Serien nach dem Herstellungsverfahren und dem Verhältnis h0/t hervorragend strukturiert und bietet eine klare Orientierung bei der Auswahl geeigneter Federn. Durch die Klarheit in der Darstellung ermöglicht die Norm EN 16983:2016 eine effiziente Anwendung und vereinfacht die Kommunikation zwischen Herstellern und Anwendern. Insgesamt bietet die Norm SIST EN 16983:2017 einen wertvollen Rahmen, der sicherstellt, dass Scheibenfedern den nötigen Qualitätsstandards entsprechen, und stellt somit eine unverzichtbare Ressource für Ingenieure und Techniker dar, die sich mit der Entwicklung und dem Einsatz von Federtechnologien beschäftigen.

The standard EN 16983:2016 provides a comprehensive framework for the quality specifications and dimensions of disc springs, ensuring their optimal functioning across various applications. Its scope encompasses essential requirements related to materials, manufacturing processes, dimensional tolerances, spring forces, permissible relaxation, and fatigue life based on stress levels. One of the significant strengths of this standard is its clear classification system, where disc springs are divided into three distinct groups based on their manufacturing processes, which are closely tied to material thickness. This categorization enhances clarity for manufacturers and users alike, facilitating easier compliance and understanding of product specifications. Furthermore, the specification of three dimensional series within the standard allows for precise engineering applications, enabling manufacturers to produce disc springs tailored to specific needs while adhering to minimum quality requirements. This focus on stringent tolerances and performance metrics promotes reliability and durability, which are critical in applications where disc springs are utilized under varying loads and conditions. The relevance of EN 16983:2016 in the context of contemporary manufacturing and engineering practices cannot be overstated. As industries increasingly demand high-performance components that meet stringent quality standards, this document serves as a vital reference point for ensuring that disc springs meet both performance expectations and safety standards. Overall, EN 16983:2016 lays a solid foundation for quality assurance in the production and application of disc springs, aligning with industry needs for excellence in component performance while offering comprehensive guidelines that manufacturers can trust and rely upon.
