Full title and description

ISO 10069-1:2008 — Tools for pressing — Elastomer pressure springs — Part 1: General specification. Specifies dimensions (millimetres) of elastomer pressure springs intended for use in press tools, diameters of counterbores, material and hardness guidance, designation and package marking; includes informative examples of suitable applications in an annex.

Abstract

Defines the dimensional series and basic technical requirements for elastomer (rubber) pressure springs used in press tooling, including counterbore diameters, recommended materials and hardness ranges, marking and designation rules, plus examples of typical applications (Annex A).

General information

• Status: Published (International Standard, confirmed).
• Publication date: Edition 2 — August 2008 (ISO edition 2, 2008-08).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 25.120.10 (Forging equipment. Presses. Shears).
• Edition / version: Edition 2 (2008).
• Number of pages: 10 pages (ISO edition document length).

Technical committee: ISO/TC 29/SC 8. The 2008 edition replaced ISO 10069-1:1991 and was reviewed and confirmed through subsequent systematic reviews (confirmation recorded in 2023).

Scope

This part of ISO 10069 specifies the dimensional series (in millimetres) for elastomer pressure springs used in press tools and the diameters of the mating counterbores. It gives guidance on suitable materials and hardness, sets rules for designation of springs conforming to the standard, and specifies marking of packages. Accessories (spring collars and pilot pins) are covered in ISO 10069-2.

Key topics and requirements

• Dimensional series for elastomer pressure springs (standardised lengths and diameters).
• Specification of counterbore diameters to suit the springs.
• Recommendations for elastomer materials (types) and hardness ranges for intended use.
• Designation system for identifying springs that meet the standard.
• Package marking requirements and identification rules.
• Informative Annex A with examples of suitable applications in press tooling.

These requirements ensure interchangeability and clear specification of elastomer springs used in tooling and pressing operations.

Typical use and users

Used by press-tool designers, toolmakers, stamping and forming shops, manufacturers of elastomer pressure springs and tooling accessories, procurement and specification engineers in metalworking and forming industries, and standards bodies that reference tooling component specifications. The standard helps ensure correct spring selection, fitment and marking for industrial press tooling applications.

Related standards

ISO 10069-2:2008 — Tools for pressing — Elastomer pressure springs — Part 2: Specification of accessories (spring collars and pilot pins) is the companion document that defines accessory dimensions and requirements. ISO 10069-1:1991 is the withdrawn earlier edition superseded by the 2008 edition. National/adopted versions exist (for example BS ISO 10069-1:2008).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10069-1:2008 is an ISO International Standard that specifies dimensional and basic technical requirements for elastomer pressure springs used in press tools (general specification for the springs themselves).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers standardised dimensions (millimetres) of elastomer pressure springs, counterbore diameters, material/hardness guidance, designation rules and package marking; examples of applications appear in an informative annex.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Tool designers, toolmakers, spring manufacturers, procurement/specification engineers in metal forming and stamping operations, and standards/quality personnel who need standardised tooling components.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2008 edition (Edition 2) superseded the 1991 edition. The 2008 edition remains the published ISO text and was confirmed during ISO systematic review activity (confirmation recorded in 2023).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 1 of the ISO 10069 series. Part 2 (ISO 10069-2:2008) covers specification of accessories (spring collars and pilot pins) that accompany the elastomer pressure springs.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Elastomer pressure springs, press tools, counterbores, dimensions, material hardness, designation, marking, ISO 10069.
