BS EN 3298 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers inserts, thin wall, self-locking. Installation and removal procedure.
BS EN 3298 specifies the conditions of installation and removal (hole serration profile, tools, swaging procedure) of self-locking thin wall inserts defined by EN standards, for aerospace applications.
BS EN 3298 on thin wall inserts is useful for:
Thin wall Key Inserts have a smaller OD thread size than standard heavy-duty inserts, ideal for tight spaces where less pull-out strength is acceptable. Thin wall Key Inserts are ideal for thread reinforcement, especially when the mating stud or bolt will be removed frequently.
Inserts are removable cutting tips, which means they are not brazed or welded to the tool body. They are usually indexable, meaning that they can be exchanged, and often also rotated or flipped, without disturbing the overall geometry of the tool (effective diameter, tool length offset, etc.).
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability and consistent performance are crucial. BS EN 3298 walks you through the Installation and removal procedure of self-locking thin wall inserts which can come in handy for the production of aerospace parts. This ensures safety and reliability in your organization and in turn increases the efficiency of work.
