What is BS EN 2587 - Dimensions and loads of rod end about?
BS EN 2587 is a European Standard that mentions the dimensions and loads of rod ends. BS EN 2587 specifies the characteristics of adjustable rod ends consisting of a rod end body with a threaded shank consisting of:
- A double fork
- A circumferential groove to identify location
- An optional longitudinal groove for locking purposes
The cadmium plating restricts the application to a temperature not exceeding 235 °C.
Who is BS EN 2587 - Dimensions and loads of rod end for?
BS EN 2587 on Dimensions and loads of rod ends is useful for:
- Rod end manufacturers
- Steel Producers
- Wire Rope Manufacturers
- Aerospace and Defence Industries
- Aerospace Companies
- Stainless Steel Wire manufacturers
- Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineers
Why should you use BS EN 2587 - Dimensions and loads of rod end?
Rod ends are applied in critical applications like the aerospace industry because of their outstanding properties and uses. These rod ends are intended for use with flight control rods or rods for aerospace structures because they streamline the design that prevents stressors. The rod ends are used to form an excellent point-to-point connection to the centre of rotation on the axis of both attached shafts.
Standardization is important in the aerospace industry to maximize safety. Also, Determining the dimensions and loads of rod ends can be difficult and complex.
Thus, BS EN 2792 guidelines help you streamline your manufacturing process and help you determine the dimensions and loads correctly. Complying with BS EN 2792 will assure that global industry practices are followed.
