What is BS EN 2879 - Self-locking anchor nuts about?
BS EN 2879 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers nuts, anchor, self-locking, air resistant, sealing, floating, two lug, with counterbore, in corrosion resisting steel.
BS EN 2879 specifies the characteristics of self-locking, air resistant, sealing, floating, two lug anchor nuts, with counterbore, in corrosion resisting steel, passivated, MoS2 lubricated.
Who is BS EN 2879 - Self-locking anchor nuts for?
BS EN 2879 on two lug anchor nuts is useful for: 
- Aerospace parts manufacturers
- Anchor nuts manufacturers
- Steel manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 2879 - Self-locking 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.
Steel has a certain resistance against corrosion. This so-called passivity is due to a thin and invisible layer of oxides being formed on the surface. This process takes place through a reaction between the metal and the oxygen in the surrounding environment.
With the help of BS EN 2879 which specifies the characteristics of self-locking, air resistant, sealing, floating, two lug anchor nuts, with counterbore, in corrosion resisting steel, you can benefit from the use of the information in various aerospace applications. This can help you increase safety in operations.
