Nutplates 1

[tonino59]

Has anyone a helpful tip where to find nutplates catalogs (to be used for aircraft)?

tonino59...

SPS has a catalog of standard fasteners (it produces) that has proven to be a helpful "finder" for me. I then go to IHS specs-standards for the actual data.

http://www.spstech.com/aero/prod_lit/index.html

Down load the "Aerospace Fasteners (7.5MB PDF file)
Numerical Listing of Parts. Lists NAS, NA, AN part numbers for aerospace bolts, nuts and washers" brochure.

The noted brochure has a little pictorial view of most current generation NAS, MIL, MS etc fastenerss... and enough of a description to be a useful starting point.

Has it really been 13 years since they've updated that catalogue? Still good info though.

Hi Tonino -

Give this a shot -

Alcoa bought out a lot of fastener companies, including Kaynar.

I would try the Mil specs (free specs), MS21052 onwards. They usually have NAS equivalents.

Thanks to all of you. I found what I was looking for.
Just for completeness, where do you get the ESNA nutplate detail information from? IHS site doesn't recognize them.

Hi Tonino -

ESNA was bought by MacClean Fogg, which has a crummy website. I was able to find a catalog at

http://www.electronicfasteners.com/pdfs/linecard_maclean.pdf

It includes the ESNA clinch nuts as well as their other products.

Tonino...

Bad news: one of my replies appears to have been trash-canned [disappeared].

Further options to consider.

FTI ForceTech rivetless nutplates. Sealed version is available. Elegant solution! NP base is sleeve-cold worked into position like forcemate bushing [obvious fatigue benefits]; and a replaceable Nut element is installed.

NAS1735 Elliptical Blind nutplates are [were?] extensively used in F-16 wings. Install NAS1735 per NAS1736.

Click-Bond adhesive bonded nutplates [seal version available]
