FOREWORD This Indian Standard ( Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners Accessories Sectional Committee bad been approved by the Light Mechanical Engineering Division Council. The rectangular section spring lock washers are suitable for use with bolt/nut assemblies of property class 58 or less. For higher property classes other sections such as waveforIil,conical, etc, are generally used. Steel spring lock washers serve to counteract the loss in inherent tension caused by setting or creep of a bolt/nut assembly provided that they are sufficiently resilient to increase the overall resilience of the assembly and that their inherent springiness can compensate for any loss in tension so that the clamping force required to ensure the reliability of the assembly is maintained. There may be a relative movement between bolt and nut if the friction between the clamped components is overcome by transverse forces. If this does occur, loosening of the assembly cannot be prevented by spring lock washers. Thus, when using these components, it should be checked whether the spring lock washers may usefully be applied as the elements maintaining the clamping force. ' This standard was originally published in 1965 and revised in 1972. In the present revision following major changes have been made: ' a) The title and scope have been modified. b) Permanent set test has been modified and aligned with DIN 127 : 1987. c) Permanent load test has been incorporated in line with DIN 127: 1987. d) Free height of spring Jock washers has been incorporated in the table of dimensions. e) Non-preferred sizes have been covered under separate table. I) Spring force test has been incorporated in Annex A for information. In preparation 'of this standard assistance bas been derived from: DIN 121-1987 'Spring lock washers with square ends or tang ends'; DIN 267 ( Part 26 ) : 1987 'Fa~teners - Technical supply conditions - Steels spring washer for bolt/nut assemblies'.

Spring lock washers which are only intended for bolt/nut assemblies involving fasteners of a property class less than 6'8 are also to be tested at compression loads corresponding to property class 6'8 proof loads.
NOTES TO SPRING
The residual spring force values represent provisional specifications, with which experience bas to be gained. Table 3 summanzes the residual spring forces required.
The residual spring forces specified are based on tests and the relevant technical literature, but are not as yet sufficiently sut.sta~tiated for them t? be made mandatory for acceptance mspection at present. Before mandatory data
IS 3063 : 19'4 can be specified, further experience and test results are needed to obtain a statistically substantiated evaluation. The same compression loads used for the permanent set and permanent load tests apply as for the spring force test. When determining the spring characteristic of spring lock washers as part of the spring force test, the effect of the elastic deformation of the test device is to be allowed for by deducting the spring travel originating in the test device from the overall travel (i.e. that of spring' washer and test device ). The relief characteristic for the test device is to be determined as follows. Place a plain washer instead of a spring washer in the test device (see Fig. 2 for example), the plain washer being lapped on both sides .and having a tolerance on parallelism not exceeding 1 J.lmand a hardness of not less than 700 HV. The washer dimensions (inside diameter, outside diameter and thickness) shall be identical to those of the spring washer to be tested. Plot the relief characteristic of the test device starting at the compressions loads specified in Tables 4A and 4B. It is essential that parallel faced washers having the same dimensions as the spring lock washers to be tested be used when recording the relief characteristic of the test device, as different-sized washers will give different characteristics. In Fig. 3, the continuous line represents the total relief characteristic of spring lock washer plus test device for a IS 3063 - A12 - Steel spring lock washer measured under .a compression load of 30 kN, and the dashed line, the relief characteristic of device only. A segment of the relief characteristic of the spring lock washer obtained by subtraction of the two curves is plotted as a chain line. To avoid any reversibility error of the force measuring device and the travel gauge, the values of compression load specified in Tables 2A and 2B may be exceeded by 5% when applying the load. The starting point for measuring the 20 J.lm travel shall however, be the compression load specified ( see Fig. 4 ). Although the 20 f4m travel is in most cases larger than the probable amount of setting of a bolt/nut assembly due to surface roughness and coatings, this travel can be reproduced in the test with relatively greater accuracy than a 5 11m or 10 pm travel. Thus the residual spring forces given in Tables 4A a~d 4B represent lower limit values for the clamping forces of bolt/nut assemblies exhibiting an exceptionally high ~egree of s~tting at parting lines.

was previously the sale spring characteristic specified, gives only little indication of the ability of a spring lock washer to counteract the loosening of a bolt/nut assembly, as the greatest relief travels are in the very flat segment of the characteristic where the forces are very small. The curve plotted in Fig. 3, which covers a relief travel of 02 mm does not reach zero force until after a total relief travel of approximately 35 mm. This shows that, though basically simple, the test device must satisfy a number of requirements if valid, reproducible and repeatable results are to be obtained. Figure 2 illustrates a test device suitable for both electrical and mechanical measurements of travel. For component(s) of the test device the following specifications apply: 1) Low resilience and, if possible, only ( elastic) compressive deformation without flexural deformation of the complete test device. in particular in the zone where the force is transmitted from the pressure platen to the bearing plate and the upper part of the pedestal.
