Overview
EN 4619:2010 (CEN) defines the installation and removal procedure for self-locking MJ thread inserts with self-broaching keys used in aerospace applications. The standard complements the design and material standards (see Related Standards) and focuses on practical assembly, inspection and repair methods to ensure reliable, repeatable performance of inserts installed in aircraft and aerospace components.
Key Topics
- Scope and purpose: specifies hole profile, tooling and step-by-step methods for both installation and removal of MJ inserts intended for aerospace use.
- Installation methods: detailed procedures for both hand installation and pneumatic (air pressure) installation including lubrication, screwing, broaching of keys and final position checks.
- Inspection requirements: pre-installation checks of hole cleanliness and insert condition; post-installation checks of insert depth and key broach position (dimensional checks referenced to the standard's figures).
- Functional verification: minimum self-locking torque inspection using specified test bolts and the requirement for periodic verification by the installer.
- Removal and repair: controlled removal techniques (drilling, milling/grinding, deflecting keys, extraction tool) and rules for re‑installation using original or first/second repair size inserts.
EN 4619 highlights the need to use a dedicated installation tool per insert reference and warns that tool design must not damage threads or locking zones.
Applications
- Aerospace component assembly where MJ thread inserts provide robust threaded joints in thin-walled or soft alloys.
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operations requiring controlled removal and repair of damaged threaded holes.
- Production lines where consistent broaching and seating of self-locking inserts are required with documented inspection records.
Benefits realized by applying EN 4619 procedures:
- Consistent, secure fit of inserts and keys to prevent loosening in service.
- Reduced risk of component damage through controlled tooling and dimensional limits.
- Clear repair path with defined first- and second-repair sizes when original threads are damaged.
- Repeatable inspection criteria for torque and position to support quality assurance.
Related Standards
EN 4619 references and works alongside related EN and ISO documents that define insert design, materials and MJ thread limits, including:
- EN 4620 - design standard for MJ thread inserts
- EN 4622 / EN 4623 / EN 4624 - material and finish variants of MJ inserts
- ISO 5855-1 / ISO 5855-2 - MJ thread general requirements and limit dimensions
Follow EN 4619:2010 as part of an integrated aerospace fastening strategy to ensure correct installation, reliable self-locking performance and an auditable repair route for MJ thread inserts.
