BS EN 4014 is a European Standard series that covers self-locking thick-wall inserts for aerospace applications to provide tight connectivity, vibrations resistance and improved load-bearing strength in aerospace installations.
BS EN 4014 specifies the use and installation hole dimensions for EN standard, self-locking, thick wall inserts, and provisions for component salvage, for aerospace applications.
BS EN 4014 on self-locking thick-wall inserts for aerospace applications is useful for:
Self-Locking Threaded Inserts are metal inserts with a positive locking action on both internal and external threads. The locking element penetrates the insert wall fully. These inserts are required for long-lasting, high-quality installations.
BS EN 4014 provides you guidance on required characteristics, including installation hole, serration and installation, enabling effective usage and accuracy in threading and fastening applications.
BS EN 4014 provides you guidance on the design and use of self-locking thick-wall inserts, including design diagrams, general use, performance and installation restrictions, ensuring accurate design, improved strength greater load-bearing capacity in aerospace applications.
By adopting BS EN 4014, you can develop and assess self-locking thick-wall inserts to ensure the quality, structural integrity and durability in aerospace applications.
