Overview
EN 2865:2009 is a European Standard developed by the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD-STAN) and adopted by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It specifies the technical requirements for aerospace-grade self-locking floating anchor nuts. These nuts feature two lugs with counterbores, crafted from heat-resistant steel, and are lubricated with molybdenum disulphide (MoS2). The standard classifies these nuts with a strength rating of 1100 MPa at ambient temperature and resistance up to 315 °C. EN 2865:2009 is essential for manufacturers, suppliers, and quality managers involved in aerospace fasteners, offering a harmonized framework to ensure performance, durability, and safety in high-temperature conditions.
Key Topics
Product Description
The standard defines floating anchor nuts with two lugs and counterbored holes. The nuts have a self-locking function based on an out-of-round upper portion that maintains secure fastening under vibration and thermal stress.Materials
Nuts are manufactured from heat-resisting steel grades specified in related aerospace standards (e.g., EN 2398, EN 2399). MoS2 lubrication is applied to enhance wear resistance and reduce friction during installation and service.Mechanical Properties
These nuts provide a tensile strength classification of 1100 MPa at ambient temperature and maintain structural integrity up to 315 °C. This classification assures compatibility with aerospace bolts of similar strength.Design and Dimensions
The standard defines normative dimensions and tolerances in accordance with ISO 3209 and ISO 8788. It includes detailed specifications for sizes, float clearance, counterbore configuration, and thread form suitable for aerospace assembly.Marking and Traceability
Per EN 2424:2008, nuts must be clearly marked for traceability. This includes manufacturer identification, standard reference, and size codes to ensure authenticity and quality control throughout the supply chain.Quality and Compliance
Compliance with aerospace quality management systems such as EN 9100 and product qualification via EN 9133 is mandated, ensuring reproducibility and reliability in critical aerospace applications.
Applications
EN 2865:2009 nuts find extensive use in aerospace assemblies where high-performance fastening solutions are required. They are ideal for:
- Aircraft structural components subjected to high mechanical loads and elevated temperatures
- Engine and exhaust systems requiring heat-resistant fasteners with self-locking capabilities
- Aerospace and defense industry products demanding strict compliance with material, design, and quality standards
- Situations where vibration resistance and temperature endurance are critical for safety and operational reliability
Their floating anchor design allows for minor misalignment correction, improving joint integrity in complex aerospace assemblies.
