What is BS EN 4396 - Shaft-nuts about?
BS EN 4396 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers shaft-nuts, self-locking, in heat resisting steel FE-PA92HT (A286), silver plated
BS EN 4396 specifies the characteristics of self-locking shaft-nuts, in FE-PA2601, silver plated, metric, chiefly used for axial location of bearing inner rings on shafts.
Who is BS EN 4396 - Shaft-nuts for?
BS EN 4396 on shaft-nuts is useful for:
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Shaft-nut manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 4396 - Shaft-nuts?
Shaft Nuts are internally threaded fasteners that used on shafts with an external metric thread. Shaft Nuts are used to hold bearing assemblies in place around a round shaft. Metric shaft nuts can also be used to secure components such as gears or pulleys onto a shaft.
Heat resistant steels are solid solution strengthened alloy steels for use at temperatures above 500 deg C and upto 750 deg C. As these steels are used over a certain broad temperature ranges, they are normally strengthened by the hardening mechanism of heat treatment, solid solution, and precipitation.
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability and consistent performance are crucial. Hence BS EN 4396 walks you through the characteristics of self-locking shaft-nuts, in FE-PA2601, silver plated, metric, chiefly used for axial location of bearing inner rings on shafts. This ensures safety and reliability in your organization and in turn increases the efficiency of work.
