Foreword
This standard has been prepared by Technical Committee FMV-AA 3.12.2 Spannschlsser of the Normenausschuss Mechanische Verbindungselemente (Fasteners Standards Committee). The DIN 4000-2-8.4 tabular layout of article characteristics shall apply to turnbuckles covered in this standard.
NOTE Parts of DIN 4000-2 are intended to be superseded by DIN 4000-161, in which case the DIN 4000-161-6 tabular layout of article characteristics will apply to turnbuckles complying with this standard.

Amendments This standard differs from DIN 1480:1975-09 as follows: a) b) c) d) e) f) g) h) i)

The title of the standard has been changed. The scope of the standard has been amended. Dimensional tolerances have been specified. Measurement of coaxiality by gauging has been introduced (see clause 6). Grade S235JR steel has been introduced. Forging grade F in accordance with DIN EN 10243-1 has been specified. For threads, tolerance 6H has been specified. Clause 8 Surface finish has been included. The designation has been amended. Specifications relating to loadability have been included. Specifications for welding studs are no longer included (but see DIN 34828). The designation of a complete turnbuckle (including turnbuckle nut and two welding studs) has been dropped.

Material

Turnbuckles shall be made of grade S235JR steel as specified in DIN EN 10025.

Design

Turnbuckles shall be drop forged to forging grade F as specified in DIN EN 10243-1.

Coaxiality of bores

The coaxiality of bores shall be measured by means of a plug gauge as in figure 2 and table 2. The gauge shall pass through the bore in a vertical position under its own weight and without excessive force (see figure 2).

Screw threads

The threads of turnbuckles shall be metric coarse pitch threads as in DIN ISO 965-2, produced to tolerance 6H.

Surface finish

DIN EN ISO 4042 shall apply with regard to electroplating. DIN EN ISO 10684 shall apply with regard to hot dip galvanizing. DIN EN ISO 10683 shall apply with regard to non-electrolytically applied zinc flake coatings.

Designation

Designation of an M12 forged turnbuckle (SP) with right-hand and left-hand thread:

Turnbuckle DIN 1480 SP M12

10 Connecting components
Welding studs for turnbuckles complying with this standard are covered in DIN 34828.
NOTE Connecting components which are not standardized at present may be used, this being subject to agreement. It should, however, be noted, that the loadability of such components does not necessarily comply with that of the turnbuckle.

Normen-Download-Beuth-GAMESA INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY.-2006-11-13

11 Assembly and loadability

Turnbuckles complying with this standard shall be assembled with welding studs as specified in DIN 34828 which are made of the same steel (S235JR). The loadability of such assemblies is higher than that of the welding studs. When using turnbuckles with connecting components made of other materials, in particular materials of higher strength, the loadability of the assembly shall be determined separately.
