Product details

Product description.

Rail vehicle fastening.

The product record identifies use across subways, light rail, EMUs and locomotives. Use the named component and its individual specification to locate the part within your vehicle assembly; a shared application category does not make different fasteners interchangeable.

Design basis

The product record cites DIN 982 or ISO 7040. Include that standard designation and the relevant drawing revision in your inquiry, and identify any order-specific differences. The standard reference does not replace the need to confirm the listed size, required grade and finish. Requirements not stated in this product record should remain subject to drawing confirmation.

Drawing and part reference

Thread & nut-body form

Confirm the internal thread, pitch, tolerance and nut-body dimensions, together with the required seating face and wrenching profile. Where the named product has a flange, round body or locking insert, include that feature in the drawing or part reference. A nominal thread size alone does not identify the complete nut configuration.

Configuration to confirm

Finish & assembly conditions

The listed treatment is Zinc-aluminium coating (FLZ) or custom finish. Specify which listed option is required, together with any drawing-defined preparation or inspection requirements. The recorded friction requirement should remain linked to that specification; it is not an installation-torque value. Tightening instructions and acceptance conditions need confirmation for the actual assembly.

Project-specific requirements

Selection guide.

A clear drawing and complete inquiry help distinguish the exact part from another fastener in the same application group.

  • Part reference

    Send the drawing number and revision, or identify the existing component.

  • Dimensions

    Thread, pitch, length and mating dimensions. Mark any special geometry on the drawing.

  • Grade / hardness

    Identify the required listed option and retain its original grade or hardness notation.

  • Surface requirements

    State the required finish and any project-specific friction or inspection requirements.

  • Order scope

    Specify quantity, additional components and your requested delivery date.
