What is BS EN 2868 about?
BS EN 2868 is a European standard on hexagonal slotted/castellated nuts that discusses the technical specification of the hexagonal nuts. BS EN 2868 specifies the characteristics of hexagonal slotted/castellated nuts, normal height, normal across flats, in heat resisting steel, silver-plated, for aerospace applications.
Classification: 1 100 MPa1/650 °C2.
Who is BS EN 2868 for?
BS EN 2868 on hexagonal slotted/castellated nuts is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of hexagonal slotted/castellated nuts
- Mechanical engineer
- Aerospace industry
Why should you use BS EN 2868?
Castellated nuts are a positive locking device. They are used in low-torque applications, such as holding a wheel bearing in place. Slotted nuts are used in applications where vibration or torque might unfasten the assembly. They are a kind of locknut that can be used interchangeably with castle nuts in most applications.
BS EN 2868 provides guidance on configuration, dimensions, masses, surface roughness, material, quality management system. BS EN 2868 exemplifies the required dimensions and designation that help you achieve precision in terms of product functionality.
As a user of BS EN 2868, you can be ensured of characteristics of hexagonal slotted/castellated nuts. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2868, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality corrosion-resistant hexagonal nuts. BS EN 2868 helps you to build consumer trust and confidence in the product. The guidance provided on the quality management system by BS EN 2868 help you to ensure that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
