Aeronavtika - Varnostni obroči za radialno pritrditev, jekleni, fosfatirani
Ta standard določa lastnosti jeklenih fosfatiranih varnostnih obročev za radialno pritrditev za uporabo v aeronavtiki. Ti varnostni obroči se uporabljajo samo, če zaradi težav z inštalacijo ni mogoče uporabiti standarda EN 3384. Fosfatiranje omejuje uporabo na temperature, ki ne presegajo 200 °C.
General Information
Overview
SIST EN 3386:2012 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the characteristics of radial mounting retaining rings made of steel with a phosphated surface finish specifically for aerospace applications. These retaining rings are designed for use in situations where the installation of axial mounting rings under EN 3384 presents challenges. The phosphating process enhances corrosion resistance but limits the operating temperature to a maximum of 200 °C.
The standard ensures quality, uniformity, and compatibility within the aerospace industry, facilitating the manufacturing and deployment of reliable retaining rings critical for component retention in radial grooves.
Key Topics
- Scope: Applies exclusively to steel, phosphated radial retaining rings for aerospace purposes where axial installation is problematic.
- Materials: Retaining rings must be made from spring steel with hardness between 480 and 530 HV.
- Surface Treatment: Rings are phosphate coated according to EN 2793, Class A, and protected with grease or oil prior to storage to prevent corrosion.
- Dimensions: Precise geometric and mass specifications provided for diameters ranging from 8 mm to 30 mm, ensuring accurate fitment and interchangeability.
- Temperature Limitation: Due to phosphating, usage is restricted to environments not exceeding 200 °C.
- Marking: Complies with EN 2424 for aerospace product identification to maintain traceability and standardization.
- Installation: Mounting instructions and groove dimensions follow EN 3427 to ensure proper assembly in radial grooves.
Applications
SIST EN 3386:2012 retaining rings are critical components in aerospace assemblies where secure radial retention is required under stringent safety and performance standards. Key application areas include:
- Aircraft structural components requiring reliable locking of shafts, pins, or assemblies subjected to radial loads.
- Aerospace mechanical systems where axial mounting is impractical, and radial mounting provides a more feasible solution.
- Maintenance and repair operations necessitating standardized retaining rings that meet aerospace quality and safety requirements.
- Manufacturing of aerospace hardware involving precision-machined grooves designed according to EN 3427.
The standard supports aerospace manufacturers and maintenance providers by ensuring that retaining rings provide consistent performance, durability, and compatibility with existing aerospace hardware.
Related Standards
SIST EN 3386:2012 references and aligns with several complementary aerospace standards to provide a comprehensive framework for retaining ring specifications and usage:
- EN 3384: Aerospace series for axial mounting retaining rings in steel, phosphated – applicable when installation conditions allow for axial configurations.
- EN 3380: Technical specifications for aerospace retaining rings, offering detailed performance criteria and quality benchmarks.
- EN 2793: Defines phosphate coating processes and classification to enhance corrosion resistance of steel components.
- EN 3427: Establishes groove dimensions for external axial mounting retaining rings, also relevant for radial grooves in EN 3386 applications.
- EN 2424: Aerospace marking standards to ensure that all retaining rings are clearly identified and traceable in production and maintenance.
Benefits of Compliance
- Guarantees use of high-quality, aerospace-grade retaining rings with proven material hardness and surface protection.
- Enables safe and reliable radial retention under specified temperature conditions, critical in aerospace operating environments.
- Facilitates industry-wide standardization, reducing defects, and simplifying supply chains and maintenance logistics.
- Enhances interchangeability and compatibility of components across manufacturers and operators within the aerospace sector.
By adhering to SIST EN 3386:2012, aerospace companies ensure robust component retention solutions that meet strict regulatory and safety requirements, supporting the long-term reliability of aerospace systems.
