Anti-Plug Pulling Flanged Rotor Shoulders: Withstanding 15 kN Tensile Extraction

Engineering Overview: Technical analysis of flanged rotor shoulders and hardened retaining circlips withstanding 15 kN tensile extraction attacks on lock cylinder plugs.

Technical & Engineering Specifications

Standard EN 1303:2015 Attack Resistance Grade D
Plug Material Solid Extruded H59 Brass (CW617N)
Anti-Attack Feature Flanged Core Shoulder & Hardened Steel Circlip
Tensile Pulling Resistance > 15 kN (1,500 kg force)

Corkscrew Extraction Defense

In plug-pulling attacks, high-strength screws are driven into the keyway to pull the rotating core out axially with hydraulic tools.

Defensive Engineering

  • Flanged Plug Shoulder: The internal end of the rotating brass plug features a wide mechanical shoulder ($\Phi 15.0 ext{ mm}$) bearing against the solid cylinder body bulkhead.
  • Hardened Spring Circlip: 0.8 mm spring steel retaining ring (58 HRC) anchors the plug against $>15 ext{ kN}$ axial tensile force, satisfying EN 1303:2015 Grade D.

Frequently Asked Engineering & Selection Questions

Q1: How does a lock cylinder resist 15 kN plug pulling?

The inner end of the plug has a wide flanged shoulder and a 58 HRC steel retaining ring that mechanically anchor it inside the solid body.
