ONLY DISC SPRINGS WITH DIN 2093 COMPLIANCE OFFER TRUE ‘FIT FOR PURPOSE’ QUALITIES
Engineering buyers charged with the responsibility of purchasing disc spring washers or spring packs can remove any doubts regarding manufacturing quality, performance or reliability if they obtain written assurance from suppliers that the spring products conform in full to the DIN 2093 specification.
It is believed that there are no UK based manufacturers currently producing these products to comply with the full design, production and quality requirements of this product standard.

Bauer Springs of Germany, however, can supply through their UK distributor Bauer Springs Ltd, a wide range of disc springs and spring packs, with full documentation covering compliance with all the requirements of DIN 2093. Their long term investment, commitment as well as considerable production experience, also enables them to manufacture spring products in accordance with other standards or special requirements as specified by customers.

Purchasers are also advised to confirm with potential suppliers whether they are manufacturing the disc spring products or simply buying them in for resale. In the latter scenario, can the supplier provide appropriate documentation of full compliance with DIN 2093 including full traceability of materials. Disc springs emanating from questionable sources, either from within the UK or overseas, can be manufactured from inferior materials, leading to premature spring failure, with considerable shortcomings in consistency of operation, durability and resistance to arduous conditions or environments. The availability of long term compression test results from suppliers is not only desirable but essential for proof of product suitability.

Many dished washer products (eg Belleville washers etc) can be perfectly adequate for providing the necessary resistance locking component for threaded fasteners. Even though these spring products can appear to be visually identical to authentic DIN 2093 disc springs, they do not provide the quality, performance and durability characteristics provided with true DIN 2093 compliance products. This compliance is the only guarantee of ensuring that the disc springs and spring packs provide the true ‘fit for purpose’ qualities so essential for safety critical operations.
