Overview
EN 3757:2009 is a CEN aerospace standard that specifies the characteristics of anchor nuts: self-locking, floating, self-aligning, two-lug nuts manufactured in heat-resisting steel and MoS2 (molybdenum disulphide) lubricated. The parts are classified 900 MPa (ambient tensile strength) / 315 °C (maximum service temperature). This standard is intended for aerospace applications where high strength, thermal resistance and reliable self-locking performance are required.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope and classification: Defines the nut type (anchor, two-lug, self-locking, floating, self-aligning) and performance class 900 MPa / 315 °C.
- Dimensions and tolerances: Dimensions conform to ISO 12273 and tolerances of form/position to ISO 8788; values apply before MoS2 lubrication.
- Materials: Material selection guidance references TR 3791 (materials for self-locking nuts and inserts for temperature classes ≤ 425 °C).
- Surface treatment and lubrication: Threads must be surface-treated per EN 2491; MoS2 dry lubricant coating methods referenced. Surface treatment influences the maximum usable temperature.
- Forming and manufacturing: Allows specific out-of-round forming in the self-locking zone to achieve required locking torque; removes sharp edges to specified radii.
- Marking and designation: Marking style follows EN 2424; designation format and identity blocks are defined for procurement and traceability.
- Quality and approval: Manufacturer approval and product qualification align with aerospace quality system standards (EN 9100, EN 9133) and procurement requirements (ISO 5858/5855 series).
Applications
- Aerospace structural and assembly hardware where high-temperature resistance and secure locking are critical (airframe panels, engine mounts, high-temperature zones).
- Situations requiring floating/self-aligning nuts to accommodate misalignment during assembly while maintaining locking torque.
- Replacement parts and specification-controlled procurement for aerospace suppliers and OEMs specifying EN 3757 anchor nuts.
Who should use this standard
- Aerospace OEMs, suppliers, and fastener manufacturers specifying or producing self-locking anchor nuts.
- Design, procurement, and quality engineers responsible for mechanical fastening systems in aviation, space, and defense.
- Maintenance and repair organizations selecting certified parts to meet traceability and temperature-class requirements.
