Overview

FprEN 6067 is a draft European Standard developed by CEN for the aerospace sector, titled “Aerospace series - Pin, quick release, self-retaining, positive locking, double acting - Button handle.” This standard defines the dimensional, mechanical, and material requirements for a specific type of pin used in aerospace applications. Quick release, self-retaining pins with positive locking and double acting mechanisms are critical components for ensuring rapid and reliable assembly or disassembly of parts, particularly where secure, repeatable fastening is essential.

This document is essential for manufacturers, engineers, and quality assurance professionals involved with aerospace hardware, as it provides unified guidance in compliance with European and international technical requirements.

Key Topics

• Product Definition: Specifies pins that are quick release, self-retaining, and positive locking, featuring a double acting mechanism with a button handle.
• Dimensions and Tolerances: Details essential dimensions, tolerances, and configuration per standardized figures and tables, ensuring interchangeability and consistency.
• Mechanical Properties: Establishes minimum double shear and tensile strengths, making these pins suitable for highly demanding aerospace environments.
• Material and Finish Requirements: Lists the materials, such as alloy steel (including 4130 and stainless steels like 302, 440C, 17-7PH), and mandates finishes like cadmium plating and passivation to ensure corrosion resistance and durability.
• Marking and Identification: Calls for markings per EN 2424 to enable traceability in aerospace quality systems.
• Technical Specification Reference: Refers to NASM 23460 for further technical details and requirements.

Applications

Quick release, self-retaining, positive locking, double acting pins as defined in FprEN 6067 are widely used in:

• Aerospace and Aviation: Essential in airframe and component assembly for securing removable panels, doors, nacelles, control surfaces, and interior modules where rapid access is critical.
• Defense and Military Equipment: Used in platforms requiring secure joints with repeatable and rapid release under demanding conditions.
• Maintenance and Repair Operations (MRO): Facilitate efficient disassembly and reassembly of parts, reducing downtime in scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.
• Other High-Reliability Industries: Applications extend to industries where high vibration, secure fastening, and quick-release features are necessary, including some automotive and industrial machinery environments.

The positive locking feature ensures that the pin remains secure during operation, while the self-retaining and double acting mechanisms support both safety and ease of use. The button handle allows for quick, intuitive operation and ergonomic handling.

Related Standards

A range of standards complement FprEN 6067 by specifying aspects of materials, finishes, marking, and product performance, including:

• EN 2424 - Aerospace series - Marking of aerospace products
• NASM 23460 - Pin, quick-release, self-retaining, positive-locking (used for technical specification details)
• AMS 2700, AMS-QQ-P-416, AMS-QQ-S-763, AMS-S-6758, AMS-T-6736, AMS 5678G - Material and passivation specifications for steel and stainless steel components
• ASTM A108, ASTM A228M, ASTM A240M, ASTM A313M, ASTM A967 - ASTM standards covering steel bar, wire, plate, and chemical passivation treatments

By aligning with these standards, FprEN 6067 helps ensure compatibility, safety, and quality in aerospace pin applications, supporting compliance in complex and regulated industries.
