An Aerospace Manufacturing Perspective Introduction to Fastener Technology Part 3 * 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 * 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 * Screws Application - Fuselage * Countersunk screws are flush with the skin on
