Material Properties

Elastomer compression springs are standardized in DIN ISO 10069-1. Our qualities EFFBE 295 and EFFBE Urelast exceed these standards in many cases.

For the production of EFFBE spring elements, three different elastomer types are offered, in accordance with the application criteria:

EFFBE 295 CR - spring quality on the basis of chloroprene-rubber (CR), 70 Shore A, in accordance with the specifications of DIN ISO 10069-1.
EFFBE Urelast UN 80 - Tempered polyurethane rubber 80 Shore A.
EFFBE Urelast U 90 - Tempered polyurethane rubber, highly resistant to dynamic load, 92 Shore A, in accordance with the specifications of DIN ISO 10069-1.

Service Life

If the design criteria are complied with more than 2x10⁶load changes are possible.

Other Advantages:

Progressive characteristics curve and high load absorption, no danger of "bottoming out" as is the case with steel springs.
Excellent operational reliability through emergency running characteristics, consequently there is no tool damage at overload.
Complete freedom from maintenance offers profitability in continuous operation.
Favorable price-performance ratio compared to other spring systems.

Temperature Resistance

The operating temperature range is between -20^oC and +80^oC;

Short-term temperatures -40^oC and +120^oC are possible. The determining factors are self-warming and ambient temperature.

Diagram 2 shows the elastic behavior depending on temperature. The spring characteristic is determined by the temperature-dependant modules of elasticity, by the geometric shape and the type and size of deformation
