National Aerospace Standards (NAS) are voluntary standards developed and maintained by committees and working groups of subject matter experts from member companies of the U.S. Aerospace Industries Association (AIA). These standards have served as the foundation for the development of aircraft, spacecraft, watercraft, ground vehicles, machinery, and electronics.

NAS parts are most well-known for state-of-the-art, high-strength, precision fasteners, electrical connectors, splices and terminations, rod end bearings, and many other types of hardware and components. The NA prefix relates to metric standards.

NAS 1791 and 1792 Series fasteners are Floating Self-Locking Nut Plates(*) with variable counterbore replacement nut elements and as supplied in one-lug (NAS 1792) or two-Lug (NAS 1791) configurations. Both form part of NAS high-strength, precision fasteners. They are offered in alloy/carbon steel or corrosion resistant (CRES) materials, in different finishes, thread sizes and dimensions in inches. They can be used in applications with 450°F maximum temperature requirement while those from silver plated A286 Stainless Steel can withstand temperatures up to 800°F.

Sourced from quality manufacturers they are offered as OEM parts of their respective manufacturers or as parts of the respective Standard under our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. Sold in pieces or packs with specified number of anchor nuts per pack as indicated by the number after the letters "PK" in the product reference number (SKU).

For additional information please consult the supplied documentation or contact us.

(*) Also termed as plate nuts, anchor nuts or anchor plates. Appearing lengths in NAS 1791 nut pllates are distance between centers of mounting holes.

Aircraft General Standards (AGS) were issued by the Directorate of Technical Development of the Air Ministry from the 1920’s and persist till today through substitutions to British Standards and AGS revisions. They relate to fasteners  such as bolts, nuts, rivets, fork joints, taper pins, common to all types of aircraft. AGS fasteners are made in a range of sizes and different materials. In their identification system AGS parts are listed in sequential number, eg AGS 500, AGS 501 even though the number does not generally group common parts together nor does it follow a specific chronological order. Special parts made for specific aircraft have no marking to indicate size or material, but are marked with a part number.

Anchor nuts (aka nut plates) are designed for blind mounted applications where it is impractical to use hex nuts. Stiffnuts, in particular, feature a very high friction between the threads of the nut and the bolt so that the nut may be considered self-locking. Several types of stiffnuts have been designed for use on aircraft. AGS 2007 series relates to double lug anchor locking nuts (aka thick stiffnuts) while  those in AGS 2008 and 2009 series relate to thin and countersunk stiffnuts.

AGS 2007 series anchor nuts are offered as nyloc (*) (with nylon-insert) or all-metal style. They can be furnished in different materials (aluminum, cadmium plated steel or corrosion resistant steel (CRES). Available with BA or BSF (**) threads as NEW OLD STOCK (NOS) items in limited quantities from  stocks of our co-operating suppliers as special order non refundable and non-returnable items. Please refer to the supplied documentation or contact us.

(*) Nyloc nut (aka nylon-insert lock nut, polymer-insert lock nut, or elastic stop nut) is a kind of locknut with a nylon collar that increases friction on the screw thread.

(**) British Association (BA) Threads. small sized screw threads still used in some precision instruments, such as optics and moving-coil meters, relays as well as modelling applications. Recommended by the British Standards Institution for use instead of the smaller British Standard Whitworth (BSW) and British Standard Fine (BSF) thread screws (those below 1⁄4 inch).

British Standard Fine (BSF) Threads. Screw thread form, used as a fine-pitch alternative to British Standard Whitworth (BSW) threads. Common applications include British machine tool industry and cars. Superseded by the American UNF threads and later Metric standards.

Anchor nuts (aka nutplates or anchor plates) are terms used interchangeably and relate to stamped sheet metal fasteners with an internally threaded tube and a plate with two clearance holes for rivets. Initially designed and still extensively used in aerospace applications, they are today also used in automotive, motorsports, and other industries in blind mounted panel applications where hex nuts cannot be used or an attached nut is required for ease of maintenance. They can be Fixed or Floating, the latter being easier to install due to their built-in nut (threaded hole) able to "float" slightly thus providing a convenient connection point for threaded rods, such as bolts, from the backside. In the case of Fixed anchor nuts, the built-in nut is static (i.e. without the capability to “float”) and the threaded bolt must be positioned perfectly over the hole. Self-locking anchor nuts are those with a built-in locking mechanism preventing them from loosening over time from vibrations.

Anchor nuts are offered in Imperial (in.) and Metric thread sizes, in different materials (e.g. Carbon Steel, Steel alloys, CRES), finishes such as Cadmium or Cadmium Free Zinc Nickel platings (compliant to EU Regulations) with or without dry film lubrication. They come in various styles/configurations (e.g. with one or two lugs, full size or miniatures, countersunk, corner, right-angled bodies, etc.). They conform to different U.S., European and international standards such as the US Military MS and NASM, German DIN LN, French AFNOR NF, British BS, ISO and others.

Depending on the selected nutplate, aerospace anchor nuts are produced by different manufacurers, such as HOWMET AEROSPACE (formerly ARCONIC) or PAOLO ASTORI, and others, and offered as respective OEM parts or as parts of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines in the case of those used in industrial applications.

Boeing & Airbus, the two leading airframe builders, have developed specifications for fasteners, hardware and other parts manufactured by different companies. Compliance with  Boeing (aka BAC) and Airbus (aka ASNA) Standards is a  prerequisite for installation or use of these parts on their respective aircraft. In many cases, Boeing & Airbus fasteners and other parts have the same fit, form, and function and they are considered as alternatives or substitutes to the respective parts designed and/or manufactured by industry leaders such as HI-SHEAR  or HOWMET in the case of fastening products.They also conform to widely accepted Military & Aerospace Standards such as AN, MS, NAS and others. However, caution is required as, depending on their series & conforming standard, fasteners are offered in Imperial (in.), Metric (mm) systems, or  both, with resulting variations in their dimensions and units of measurement of their properties.

As a result of the extensive portfolio of fastening products (including screws and bolts, nuts, washers, pins, rivets, clamps, and many others) from different leading suppliers, and those falling under Boeing, Airbus, Military and Aerospace Standards, these are listed separately in our Web Platform for Supplies.  It must be noted that, depending on the intended application, usually more than one options are available to prospective buyers and selection is finally made, apart from specifications, on the basis of price or lead time required for non-stock parts. Whenever possible,correlation tables and other information and documentation is provided to facilitate the users' awareness on interchangeability of offered fasteners and the selection of the right parts for their intended application. For additional information please contact us.

NAS 577 Standard specifies the dimensional and material requirements for a specific type of self-locking nut, which is designed with a built-in locking mechanism to resist loosening under vibration or other dynamic loads, unlike a standard, non-locking nuts which rely solely on the friction between the threads of the nut and bolt, and the clamping force generated by tightening, to prevent loosening.  

Barrel nuts are used in different fastening applications as an alternative to traditional nuts. Due to their their aesthetically pleasing finish, barrel nuts are particularly common in furniture as connectors but also in aerospace manufacturing in aircraft landing gear and other components. Since their original form as a round bar stock with a transverse tapped hole their design has undergone many refinements with the elimination of material not contributing to their performance, the addition of a thread-locking option or a floating nut element to compensate for hole misalignment and so on. 

Today NAS 577 Standard barrel nuts are produced by different manufacurers, such as HOWMET AEROSPACE (formerly ARCONIC) PAOLO ASTORI, or PCC SHUR-LOK. They are used in various aerospace and industrial applications requiring a secure and reliable, high strength fastening with resistance to fatigue failure. These nuts are  offered in Imperial (in.) and Metric thread sizes, in different materials such as 8740  or 4340  alloy steel, 17-4PH stainless steel & A286 corrosion-resistant steel and finishes including cadmium plating, passivation with or without dry film lubrication. They can be supplied as respective OEM parts or as parts of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. Sold in pieces or packs of specified number of anchor nuts per pack indicated after the letters "PK" in the product SKU.

Anchor nuts can be Fixed or Floating, the latter being easier to use due to their built-in nut (threaded hole) able to "float" slightly thus providing a convenient connection point for threaded rods, such as bolts, from the backside. In the case of Fixed anchor nuts, the built-in nut is static (i.e. without the capability to “float”) and the threaded rod must be positioned perfectly over the hole. Self-locking anchor nuts are those with a built-in locking mechanism preventing them from loosening over time from vibrations. They are extensively used in aerospace, automotive, and construction industries.

Depending on their intended application, nutplates conform to different military, aerospace, ISO or other industrial standards such as the German DIN, U.S. (ASME & ASTM, IFI, ANSI), British BS, Japanese JIS and others.

AN310/NASM310 and AN320/NASM320 Series castlellated nuts are manufactured from steel and cadmium plated. AN310/320 nuts have been superseded by NASM310/320 Series.  The Part Identification Numbers (PIN) for AN310/AN320 and those for NASM310/NASM320 are identical.

Castellated nuts are of similar style and shape as castle nuts but they are not as thick (deep) as the castle nuts (they consist the thin version of standard castle nuts). The thin design makes castlellated nuts weaker than the castle nuts and are used only where shear stress forces are encountered. Fabricated from steel and cadmium plated per QQ-P-416A, Type II, Class 3. AN310/NASM310 castle nuts are used with drilled-shank bolts, clevis bolts, eye bolts and studs. The slots in the nut accommodate a cotter pin for safety purposes. The thinner AN320/NASM320 series castellated shear nuts, with half the tensile rating of the AN310/NASM310 series nuts, are used with clevis bolts and threaded taper pins which are subject to shearing stress only.

Both AN310/NASM310 and AN320/NASM320 Series castlellated nuts are sourced from quality producers and offered as part of AVIATIONEU NEW ERA product lines. For additional information please consult the supplied documentation or contact us.

The AN363 series regular height all-metal stop nuts are similar to those of MS21042 series except that MS21042 nuts are shorter than the AN363 but develop the same tensile strength. The AN363 series nuts are fabricated from carbon steel & cadmium plated as per specification QQ-P-416C or stainless steel, in which case the letter "C" is included after the series number (e.g. AN363 cadmium plated steel, AN363C stainless steel). Both are designed for use in high temp installations (AN363 up to 450°F, AN363C up to 800°F).  The AN363/ AN363C series nuts have been replaced by those of MS21045/MS21046C respectively which in turn are superseded by NASM21045/NASM21046C.  The Part Identification Number (PIN) for MS21045/MS21046C  and the part number for NASM21045/NASM21046C nuts are identical.

A nylon-insert lock nut (also referred to as elastic stop nut, nut with a non-metallic insert  or nyloc nut) is a type of locknut with a nylon collar that increases friction on the screw thread. Nyloc nuts are widely used in products and structures subject to dynamic loads where motion or vibration can cause fasteners to become loose. Their design prevents the connection from loosening without the need for additional lock washers.The nylon insert is situated at the top of the nut and when tightened locks against the thread. The insert deforms elastically over the threads as tightening pressure is applied. The insert locks the nut against the screw as a result of friction, caused by the radial compressive force resulting from the deformation of the nylon. Nyloc nuts retain their locking ability up to 250 °F.

Metric hexagonal nylon-insert self-locking nuts are high anti vibration and anti loose fastening parts conforming to DIN 982 and DIN 985 standards. Different metric thread sizes are designated by the letter "M" indicating the nut's clearance diameter in mm. The main difference between DIN 982 & DIN 985 is the height of the nuts for same thread diameter. DIN 982 lock nuts (often termed as “P” Type) are taller than DIN 985 (aka “T” Type) ones. Lower profile  DIN 985 are used in places where height is limited, while standard height DIN 982 nuts are used in connections where increased strength and fixation are required. In addition, the size range of DIN 985 nuts is wider than that of DIN 982. DIN 985 Nylon self-locking nuts can be used in various mechanical and electrical products with temperature from – 50 ℃ to 100 ℃. Due to their significantly higher anti vibration and anti loose performance than other anti loose devices, their application ranges from  tanks, mining, agricultural, textile &  various kinds of machinery to automobiles and aerospace.

Both DIN 982 and DIN 985 lock nuts are offered as part of our own (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. Sourced from quality manufacturers they are competitively priced and can be supplied in different materials (Steel, Brass, Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel & Stainless Steel), grades (Class 5, 6, 8 or 10), metric thread diameters (typically M3/3 mm to M30/30 mm or up to 48 mm for DIN 985 nuts), thread pitches and finishes (natural, electro zinc-plated, chrome plated, black oxide and others). Sold in pieces or packs with number of pieces per pack indicated after "PK" designation in product SKU.

Notes:

Nut thread pitch indicates the distance between threads measured along the length of the nut expressed in mm.

In the case of stainless steel lock nuts, the stainless steel grades are denoted with codes such as A2 or A4 and dash numbers indicating the minimum tensile strength to be met by the material. For example, A2-70 relates to a nylon-insert lock nut made from 304 stainless steel with a minimum tensile strength of 700N/mm² (MPa).

A castellated nut, also referred to as a castle nut or slotted nut, is a nut with slots (notches) cut into one end. Although castellated nuts are frequently referred to as slotted nuts, there are slight differences. Castellated nuts are formed with a round section at the top where the slots are located. Slotted nuts do not have this rounded modification. The flat sides of slotted nuts extend fully from the top to the bottom of the nut. Both castellated and slotted nuts are designed to use a pin (usually a split pin) that fits through the slots and through a hole in the screw to which the nut is attached. This pin prevents the nut from turning and loosening. Compared with slotted nuts, castellated nuts allow the cotter pin to be confined closer to the margins of the nut itself, providing added secureness.

Anchor nuts (aka nutplates or anchor plates) are terms used interchangeably and relate to stamped sheet metal fasteners with an internally threaded tube and a plate with two clearance holes for rivets. They are used in blind mounted panel applications in aerospace and other industrial sectors where hex nuts cannot be used or an attached nut is required for ease of maintenance. 

Anchor nuts can be Fixed or Floating, the latter being easier to use due to their built-in nut (threaded hole) able to "float" slightly thus providing a convenient connection point for threaded rods, such as bolts, from the backside. In the case of Fixed anchor nuts, the built-in nut is static (i.e. without the capability to “float”) and the threaded rod must be positioned perfectly over the hole. Self-locking anchor nuts are those with a built-in locking mechanism preventing them from loosening over time from vibrations. They are extensively used in aerospace, automotive, and construction industries.

Depending on their intended application, nutplates conform to different military, aerospace, ISO or other industrial standards such as the German DIN, U.S. (ASME & ASTM, IFI, ANSI), British BS, Japanese JIS and others. They are offered as OEM parts under their respective brands or under our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines intended as cost-effective alternatives to the respective OEM products.

Steel Nut Specifications:

Material - 4130 Alloy Steel Per AMS-S-6758

Finish - Cad Type II, Class 2 Per AMS-QQ-P-416

Heat Treat- 150 KSI Min Per AMS2759

Hardness - 34-38 HRC

Thread Series & Class: UNJF 3B (Unified National Fine thread series with external thread controlled root radius)

Note: UNJ, UNJC, UNJF and UNJEF thread series are almost identical to the respective UN, UNC, UNF, and UNEF threads except that the external J thread has a much larger root radius than the standard UN threads and inspection must be performed on this element. The Special UNJ threads are designated by the nomenclature UNJS. J screw threads feature a root radius which improves the tensile stress area of the fastener and helps to reduce the stress concentration factor in the thread thus making the thread stronger. Additionally, the requirement for high strength is achieved with 3A and 3B classes of fit. All pitch diameters and tolerances are based on the Unified Inch Standard.

Titanium fasteners are best known for their strength,  lightweight, and corrosion resistance. They feature an excellent strength to weight ratio and significant mechanical properties but perhaps their most notable attribute is their superior corrosion resistance to salt water / seawater operating conditions. Titanium fasteners are used in aerospace, automotive and motorsports but also in many other industries including chlor alkali, marine, off-shore oil & gas, desalination, medical, and pulp and paper. They come in different types (like bolts, screws and nuts), sizes, titanium grades and standards/specifications (e.g. ANSI/ASME, DIN/ISO, ASTM, ASME, MIL specifications etc.)  to meet application requirements. 

Compared to respective fasteners made of steel and aluminum, as a rule of thumb, titanium fasteners are about half the weight of their steel counterparts while aluminum fasteners are about half the weight of titanium ones.

Sourced from quality producers, a wide range of titanium fasteners are offered as part of AVIATIONEU NEW ERA product lines (please refer to the individual product presentations). 

AVIATIONEU NEW ERA Titanium nuts are available in both inch and metric systems. Their typicals uses include aerospace, marine, motorsports and many other applications.

(*) Appearing dimensions for Flange Nuts: Hex Size, Flange Diameter, Height (Hex or Total).

Nuts are extensively used in a wide range of aerospace and industrial applications. Self-locking nuts are those containing a locking feature as an integral part. 

Hexagon self-locking nuts of both low (thin pattern) and regular height (pattern) used in aerospace and defense applications comform to different Standards and they are designed for use in high temp installations (up to 250°F or 1200°F for those from silver-plated stainless steel). Low height self-locking nuts complied with Army & Navy AN 364 superseded by Mil Standard MS 20364 which was in turn superseded by the newer Mil Standard MS 21083. Similarly, Army & Navy AN 365 Standard relating to regular height nuts was superseded by Mil Standard MS 20365 and this in turn by MS21044. Furthermore, MS Standards have been replaced by NASM National Aerospace Standards with their part identification numbers remaining the same. For example, nuts with PNs MS21083 and NASM21083 are identical.

Regular height NASM/MS 21044 self-locking nuts and their low-height NASM/MS 21083 counterparts replace the superseeded MS 20365  / AN 365 & MS 20364 / AN 364 for respective materials and sizes but their older Standard part numbers (although cancelled) are still commonly used in the market. Sourced from quality manufacturers, these nuts are offered as part of own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines in different materials and finishes (e.g. cadmium plated alloy steel, corrosion resistant steel passivated,copper cadmium plated, aluminum alloy anodized), and different dimensions and thread sizes in inches. Cadmium plated nuts are furnished to military specifications while stainless steel nuts are supplied to military specification and commercial grade. These nuts come either with all metal or non metallic inserts (often termed as fiberlock or elastic stop to create friction and prevent loosening from vibration) designated by the letters "C" and "A" respectively after the dash number. No letter indicates an all metal or a non metallic insert nut. They are reliable and economical fastening devices with their inserts providing a friction grip on the threads of the bolt  holdsing it securely.

The following letters after the dash in their part number indicate their materials and finishes:

"B" Copper alloy - Cadmium plated

"C" Corrosion resistant steel (stainless steel) - passivated

"D" Aluminum alloy - Anodised

"N" Steel alloy - Cadmium plated

For example, MS21044C3 is a corrosion resistance steel self-locking nut with a thread size of 10-32, while MS21044N3 is a steel alloy nut with the same thread size.

Sold in pieces or packs.

(*) also termed as plate nuts, anchor nuts or anchor plates. These terms are used interchangeably to describe the respective fasteners. 

Self-locking nuts (aka lock nuts) are widely used in applications in which motion or vibration can cause fasteners to become loose. Lock nuts conforming to DIN 980 stanard are all metal prevailing torque, hexagonal nuts and they  are available in two types, DIN 980 V-type (DIN980/V) with a distorted thread and DIN 980 M-type ((DIN980/M) with an embedded metal locking plate.

In DIN 980 V-type distorted thread nuts, certain teeth of the nut thread are deformed through die stamping resulting in the inner diameter of the nut thread being slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the bolt thread. Therefore, the friction force between the threads after the nut is tightened is far greater than that of the common thread, which can play an effective role in preventing loosing. 

In DIN 980 M-type nuts, the nut is embedded with a metal locking plate after heat treatment. The inner diameter of the metal plate is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the bolt thread. After the nut is tightened, the metal plate blocks the bolt thread, thus preventing loosening.

DIN 980 lock nuts must be tightened with tools (such as ratchet spanner) during installation. Although they can be can be used repeatedly, frequent disassemblies and installations are not recommended as the locking torque of the nut will decrease significantly.

Depending on the producer, DIN 980 lock nuts are manufactured in different metric thread sizes (M3 ~ M39) from carbon steel in various strength classes (such as  4, 6, 8, 10 and 12) or stainless steel in grades 70 and  80. They are offered in various finishes such as plain, black, zinc/yellow plated, H.D.G, and chrome plated.

Both DIN980/V and DIN980/M lock nuts are offered as part of our own (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. Sourced from quality manufactuurers they are competitively priced and can be supplied in carbon steel or stainless steel, in different grades, metric thread sizes  and finishes .

For additional information please consult the supplied documentation.

Notes:

Different metric thread sizes are designated by the letter "M" indicating the nut's clearance diameter in mm.

Nut thread pitch indicates the distance between threads measured along the length of the nut expressed in mm.

In the case of stainless steel lock nuts, the stainless steel grades are denoted with codes such as A2 or A4 and dash numbers indicating the minimum tensile strength to be met by the material. For example, A2-70 relates to a lock nut made from 304 stainless steel with a minimum tensile strength of 700N/mm² (MPa).

Screws, bolts and nuts are standard fastening hardware widely used in a range of applications. 

Internal wrenching (also known as Allen) fasteners are threaded fasteners. Screws and bolts have a drive recess within the head allowing the insertion of an internal wrench for their installation or removal. Allen socket set screws are blind (headless) fasteners with an internal hex drive offered in different styles (regular cap screw and flat and button type) while Allen nuts are cylindrical nuts internally threaded on one side with an Allen socket on the other. These fasteners are produced by different manufacturers and come in different styles, inch or Metric sizes, materials, finishes,  and coarse or fine threadings. They are offered as OEM parts or parts of AVIATIONEU NEW ERA product lines. Sold in pieces or packs of specified number of pieces per pack as designated by the number after the letters "PK" in the product reference code (SKU). 

Internal wrenching fasteners for aerospace applications are designed and intended for use in aircraft construction and repair and conform to Military or Aerospace Standards. Aerospace Industries Association Standard NASM 20004 through 20024 internal wrenching bolts supersede respective part numbers of MS 20004 through 20024 which in turn have superseeded those of older National Aerospace Standard NAS NAS 144 to 158 series. Fabricated from 160-180 ksi high-strength steel they are intended for use in both tension and shear applications. 

Socket screws for aerospace and military uses come in different sizes and meet aerospace/military standards including AN565 (superseded by NASM565), NAS1081, MS18063, MS18064, MS51021, MS51023, MS51029, MS51031, MS51038, MS51045, MS51963, MS51964, MS51965, MS51966. Those of AN565 (NASM565) standard are headless hex and fluted socket set screws while their MS51963 standard counterparts are cup point hex socket set screws.  Both are made of high-quality steel and they are designed to deliver maximum holding pressure Typically used to bind parts onto shafts. Available in cup or cone point styles, in different thread sizes and lengths in inches.

81791 internal wrenching  nuts are self-locking, high-strength, corrosion and oxidation resistant nuts made of nickel-chromium alloy with cadmium plating. These nuts are catalogued and supplied in different sizes as part numbers of TEXTRON AVIATION (separately listed).
