AIA NAS 577 Standard Aerospace Self-Locking Floating Barrel Nuts SKU: NTBRL-FL-NAS577

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.
