1、Failure Mode Identification: From Phenomenon to Essence

1. diagnosis of mechanical failure

Cracks and fractures:

Surface microcracks (length>0.5 mm): Replace immediately

Penetrating crack: emergency shutdown and replacement

Fragmented pieces: Perform a comprehensive examination and replace all relevant springs.

permanent set :

The variation of free height exceeds 50% of the design tolerance

Significant change in the cone angle of the disc spring

inhomogeneous spring wave peak height

2. functional failure judgment

Capacity decline:

The equipment output drops by more than 10% under identical operating conditions.

The pre-tension holding time is significantly reduced

Dynamic changes:

The vibration frequency characteristics have changed.

abnormally elevated noise level

2、Change Decision Matrix: Risk-based Assessment

risk grade

failure characteristic

response time

Replacement scope

highrisk

Visible cracks, fractures, and severe corrosion

hard stop

Replace the entire set

Medium risk

permanent deformation exceeding tolerance, performance degradation

planned stop

preventive replacement

low risk

minor wear and surface degradation

maintenance routine

Selective replacement

3、Exact match: Replace with identical specifications

1. Technical parameters are fully matched

Geometric dimensions: outer diameter, inner diameter, thickness, and free height are controlled within half of the tolerance range specified by national standards.

Material consistency:

The same steel grade designation (e.g., 50CrVA)

Same heat treatment condition (hardness deviation ≤2HRC)

same surface treatment process

2. performance parameter validation

Load testing: Conduct sampling load tests on the new spring prior to replacement to ensure consistent force characteristics.

Batch traceability: Suppliers are required to provide complete batch traceability information for materials

4、Standardize the job process

1. dead work

Obtain complete spring technical drawings and installation specifications

Prepare specialized tools and measuring instruments

Develop a detailed work safety plan

2. Dismantling and Inspection

Record the original installation status and location

Check the relevance of adjacent components

Image and data recording of failed springs

3. Installation and Verification

Strictly adhere to cleaning and lubrication standards

The working state is gradually achieved through a stepwise loading method.

Complete the functional verification test

5、Professional replacement support for three types of equipment

We provide complete replacement solutions:

1. Rapid Response Service

Emergency spare parts supply: Common specifications available within 48 hours

On-site technical support: Engineer provides on-site guidance for replacement work

Failure Analysis Laboratory: Provides professional failure cause analysis

2. Plan optimization

Alternative proposal: Provide technical alternatives when the original specification is discontinued

Performance upgrade service: Synchronize performance optimization during replacement

Preventive replacement program: Develop long-term replacement planning

3. Data Management Support
