BS EN 2883 is a European Standard that discusses components used in the aerospace industry. The purpose of BS EN 2883 is to provide the best industry design requirements for self-locking hexagonal nuts such that they are fit for the intended end-application use.
BS EN 2883 specifies the characteristics of self-locking hexagonal nuts, with counterbore and captive washer, in heat resisting steel, MoS2 lubricated.
Classification: 1. 100 MPa / 315 °C
BS EN 2883 on self-locking hexagonal nuts for use in the aerospace industry is useful for:
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability, consistent performance and durability are crucial.
BS EN 2883 provides guidance on dimensions, tolerances of form and position, along with the reference standard for guidance on materials along with surface treatment for self-locking hexagonal nuts.
If you are a manufacturer of self-locking hexagonal nuts used in the aerospace industry, compliance with these requirements can ensure your products meet the performance needs of the end-application.
It creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of self-locking hexagonal nuts to adhere to if they supply their components for use by the aerospace and defence industry.
With compliance to the best industry requirements specified in BS EN 2883, you can demonstrate reliability of self-locking hexagonal nuts and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
