Introduction to Fastener Technology Part 3 An Aerospace Manufacturing Perspective
Fasteners in Aviation • Permanent Fastening • Discussed previously • Temporary Fastening • Threaded • Non-Threaded
Temporary Fastening • Threaded • Bolts • Studs • Screws • Non - Threaded
Temporary Fastening • some common aircraft fasteners organized by part number
Threaded Fasteners • Use to hold parts together • Unlike any other fasteners, threaded fasteners are able to move part(s) relative to others
Threaded Fasteners • Bolts connecting two sections of a PW4098 Turbofan engine
Thread Terminology • External (male) thread: Thread cuts outside of the cylindrical body. • Internal (female) thread: Thread cuts inside of the cylindrical body.
Thread Terminology • Crest – Peak edge of thread • Root – Bottom of thread cut into a cylindrical body • Thread angle – Angle between threads faces
Thread Terminology • Major diameter – Largest diameter on an external or internal thread • Minor diameter – Smallest diameter on an external or internal thread
Thread Terminology • Pitch – Distance between crests of threads
Types of Thread Form • Profile shape of the thread
Thread Standard • A metric ISO screw thread is designated by the letter M followed by the value of the nominal diameter D and the pitch P, both expressed in millimeters and separated by the multiplication sign “×”. • Example: M8×1.25
Thread Drawings For simplified representation, use thick and thin continuous lines for representing crests and roots respectively:
Bolt Terminology • Bolt is a threaded cylinder with a head
Bolt Application - Engine • Engine case bolt and nut on a Lycoming IO-320 engine • Nut is on the left hand side, bolt head is on the right
Screw Terminology • Screw is similar to bolt, but has a longer thread than a bolt • Bolted joint is usually created by turning a nut; screw is installed by turning it.
Screws Application - Fuselage • Countersunk screws are flush with the skin on this Cessna 310R
Screws Application - Engine • Exhaust shroud screws on an IO-320 engine
