What is BS EN 2311 - Bushes with self-lubricating liner about?
BS EN 2311 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers the technical specifications of bushes with self-lubricating liner.
BS EN 2311 specifies the required characteristics, inspections and tests, quality assurance and qualification, acceptance and delivery conditions for bushes, designed to be subjected under load, to slow sliding movements, rotations and small oscillations only for aerospace applications.
The liner is designed to be used in the temperature range of −50 °C to 163 °C. Aluminium bushes are limited to −55 °C to 121 °C.
Who is BS EN 2311 - Bushes with self-lubricating liner for?
BS EN 2311 on bushes with self-lubricating liner is useful for:
- Aerospace parts manufacturers
- Bushes manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 2311 - Bushes with self-lubricating liner?
A Bush or Bushing is a fixed or removable cylindrical tube or sleeve that provides an interface between two parts. It is used to constrain, guide, or reduce friction and is effectively one classification of the overall category of bearings and may also be referred to as a Sleeve Bearing or Plain Bearing.
Self-lubricating plain bearings incorporate a liner that includes polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) on the bearing surface.
With the help of BS EN 2311 which specifies the required characteristics, inspections and tests, quality assurance and qualification, acceptance, and delivery conditions for bushes you can benefit from the use of this information in various aerospace applications. This can help you increase safety in operations. And these technical specifications will make sure that all the quality standards are met during the production process.
