Flanged Rotor Plugs with Hardened Retaining Circlips: 15 kN Pull Defense

Engineering Overview: Technical analysis of flanged rotor cores and 58 HRC spring steel retaining circlips resisting 15 kN hydraulic plug-pulling extraction attacks.

Technical & Engineering Specifications

Material Solid Extruded H59 Brass with Steel Retaining Ring
Standard EN 1303:2015 Attack Resistance Grade D
Core Feature Flanged Rear Plug Shoulder & 58 HRC Spring Steel Circlip
Tensile Resistance > 15 kN (1,500 kg Force) Axial Pulling

Hydraulic Corkscrew Pulling Defense

Attackers drive hardened self-tapping screws into the keyway to pull the plug out axially using hydraulic jacks.

15 kN Mechanical Anchorage

  • Flanged Inner Shoulder: A wide $\Phi 15.0\text{ mm}$ mechanical shoulder on the inner end of the plug bears against the solid brass body bulkhead.
  • Heavy-Duty Circlip: 0.8 mm spring steel retaining ring (58 HRC) locks the core against $>15\text{ kN}$ axial tensile pull.

Frequently Asked Engineering & Selection Questions

Q1: What stops a lock core from being pulled out with an extraction tool?

A wide mechanical flange on the back of the plug and a hardened steel retaining ring anchor the core firmly inside the brass body.
