Overview

EN 3728:2008 is a CEN (Aerospace series) standard that specifies the characteristics of self‑locking shaft‑nuts with left‑hand MJ threads manufactured from heat‑resisting steel FE‑PA92HT (A286) and silver‑plated. These shaft‑nuts are principally intended for the axial location of bearing inner rings on shafts in aerospace applications. The standard defines materials, surface treatment, dimensional requirements (after plating) and marking; parts are qualified for testing up to 450 °C and are designed for use with 4g6g external threads.

Key Topics

  • Material: Heat‑resisting steel FE‑PA92HT (A286) as referenced to EN 2171/EN 4317 family.
  • Thread form: Left‑hand MJ threads in sizes covering the MJ12…MJ40 range (see Table 1 for thread codes and basic dimensions). Conforms to MJ thread general requirements (ISO 5855‑1).
  • Self‑locking feature: Required, but the exact form and implementation are left to the manufacturer’s discretion; the internal envelope diameter after self‑locking is specified.
  • Surface treatment: Electrolytic silver plating per EN 2786. Thickness:
    • External surfaces: 5 µm to 15 µm
    • Thread: minimum 5 µm (measured at pitch diameter)
  • Dimensions & tolerances: Specified in the standard (applies after plating). Threads intended to mate with 4g6g external threads.
  • Maximum test temperature: 450 °C (parts are designed and tested to maintain properties to this temperature).
  • Marking & designation: Marking per EN 2424 (style A); example designation format and identity block given in the standard.

Applications

  • Axial retention of bearing inner rings on rotating shafts in aerospace assemblies.
  • High‑temperature and high‑strength fastener requirements such as turbine housings, engine accessories, and other propulsion or airframe components where left‑hand locking is needed.
  • Replacement and repair parts in maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) activities where standardization and traceability are required.

Who uses this standard

  • Aerospace design and mechanical engineers specifying shaft retention hardware.
  • Fastener manufacturers and plating subcontractors producing FE‑PA92HT (A286) shaft‑nuts.
  • Procurement and quality assurance teams validating parts against standard characteristics and marking.
  • MRO organizations, regulatory bodies and certification teams verifying component conformity for aircraft and defense platforms.

Related standards

  • EN 2171 / EN 4317 / EN 4318 - material specifications for FE‑PA92HT / FE‑PA2601 alloys
  • EN 2786 - electrolytic silver plating of fasteners
  • EN 2424 - marking of aerospace products
  • EN 3299 - related shaft‑nut technical specifications
  • ISO 5855‑1 - MJ thread general requirements

EN 3728:2008 ensures consistent, high‑temperature capable, silver‑plated, left‑hand self‑locking shaft‑nuts for aerospace shaft retention applications, facilitating interchangeability, traceability and safety across the supply chain.
