DIN 87384-1980 PDF

Full title and description

STB DIN 87384-1980 — Remote control gear with transmission tubing for manual operation; operating devices, hinged with indicator (Gestängerohr‑Fernbedienungen; Bedienstellen an der Wand, klappbar). This entry refers to the original DIN edition issued in 1980; some catalogues and document sellers list it with vendor prefixes such as "STB" when offering the original DIN PDF.

Abstract

The 1980 edition of DIN 87384 specifies the constructional details, dimensions, materials and masses for hinged wall-mounted control points used with remote control gear with transmission tubes for manual operation. It provides requirements for design and marking where a hinged wall control point is required because other types (e.g., DIN 87373 / DIN 87375) cannot be used due to space constraints.

General information

Scope

This standard covers hinged wall-mounted control points for remote control gear using transmission tubes for manual operation. It applies where space limitations prevent use of other established control-point types and specifies the required constructional features, overall dimensions, materials, masses and marking for such hinged wall control points. (Note: the 1980 edition has since been replaced by a later DIN revision in 2017 which expands and updates tolerances, material designations and normative references.)

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and designation of hinged wall control points for transmission‑tube remote control gear.
• Constructional details: mounting arrangements, hinge design and actuator interface.
• Dimensional specifications and tolerances for interchangeability and installation.
• Material designations and mass/weight limits for safe handling and installation.
• Marking and identification requirements including indicators for position/state.
• Reference to related DIN documents and requirements for when this form factor is required instead of other bedienstellen.

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers of remote control gear and transmission tube systems, shipbuilders and marine-equipment suppliers, installation and maintenance engineers, procurement and conformity-assessment teams, and standards libraries. The specification is typically referenced during product design, technical procurement, installation planning and equipment inspection where hinged wall control points are required.

Related standards

Related documents include other parts of the DIN 8737x series (for alternative bedienstellen and installation guidance) and subsequent revisions such as DIN 87384:2017-11 which replaces the 1980 edition. Project- and installation‑specific standards for remote handling tubes and fittings (e.g., referenced DIN items cited in later editions) are also relevant.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: DIN 87384:1980 is the original (1980) DIN specification for hinged wall-mounted control points used with remote control gear that uses a transmission tube for manual operation.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers constructional details, dimensions, materials, masses and marking for hinged wall control points (Bedienstellen an der Wand, klappbar) used with transmission‑tube remote-control systems, intended for situations where other control-point types are impractical.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Equipment manufacturers, shipyards, system integrators, installation and maintenance engineers, procurement/specification teams and standards administrators who work on remote-control and shipboard control installations.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 1980 edition has been withdrawn/superseded and replaced by DIN 87384:2017-11. For current requirements and updated tolerances, the 2017 revision (and any later amendments) should be used.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it belongs to a family of standards addressing remote control gear and transmission‑tube systems (the DIN 8737x/8738x group and related documents). The 2017 revision consolidates and updates cross‑references to related DIN documents.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Remote control gear; transmission tube; hinged wall control point; Gestängerohr‑Fernbedienungen; DIN 87384; shipbuilding controls; bedienstellen.
