What is BS EN 3712 - Anchor nuts about?
BS EN 3712 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers nuts, anchor, self-locking, one lug, fixed, reduced series, with counterbore, in steel, cadmium plated, MoS2, lubricated.
BS EN 3712 specifies characteristics for one lug, reduced series, counterbored, fixed anchor nuts, with a self-locking feature achieved by forming the upper portion out-of-round, in steel, cadmium plated, MoS2 lubricated, classification 1 100 MPa / 235 °C.
Who is BS EN 3712 - Anchor nuts for?
BS EN 3712 on anchor nuts is useful for:
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Anchor nuts manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 3712 - Anchor nuts?
Anchor nuts, also called nut plates, are self-wrenching, self-locking nuts for use in closeout or space constrained areas. Anchor nuts provide a permanent nut element on the inside of the joint so that a skin, access panel, fairing, or other member can be attached with a screw.
Cadmium Electroplating (Nadcap Accredited) Electroplated cadmium is a robust and versatile metallic coating. Cadmium is a soft white metal that, when plated onto steel, cast iron, malleable iron, copper, and powdered metal, functions as a "sacrificial coating," corroding before the substrate material.
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability and consistent performance are crucial. Hence BS EN 3712 walks you through the characteristics for one lug, reduced series, counterbored, fixed anchor nuts, with a self-locking feature achieved by forming the upper portion out-of-round, in steel, cadmium plated, MoS2 lubricated. This ensures safety and reliability in your organization and in turn increases the efficiency of work.
