Overview
ISO 10069-2:2008 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that focuses on tools for pressing with an emphasis on elastomer pressure springs. This part, titled Specification of accessories, defines the dimensions and properties of key accessory components such as spring collars and pilot pins used alongside elastomer pressure springs outlined in ISO 10069-1.
The standard specifies exact dimensions in millimetres, as well as guidance on materials and hardness levels. It also establishes clear designation rules for these accessories, ensuring uniformity and compatibility in manufacturing and industrial applications. The document represents the second edition, updating previous specifications to align with modern surface texture indications (ISO 1302:2002).
Key Topics
Applications
ISO 10069-2:2008 is critical for industries and manufacturers involved in:
-
Press Tool Manufacturing
Ensuring spring collars and pilot pins meet specified dimensions guarantees proper fit and function with elastomer pressure springs in press tools, enhancing machine efficiency and tool longevity.
-
Automotive and Aerospace Assembly
Reliable press tools with compliant accessories facilitate precise and repeatable assembly operations under pressure.
-
Rubber and Elastomer Product Manufacturing
Standardized accessories support consistent results when using elastomer pressure springs, important for quality control in mass production.
-
Tooling Maintenance and Replacement
The designation system simplifies identifying replacement parts, reducing downtime and ensuring compatibility.
-
Quality Assurance
Manufacturing processes relying on this standard benefit from adherence to ISO surface roughness guidelines, improving tool performance and lifespan.
