- Regulatory bodies
Why should you use BS EN 2022 - Spherical plain bearings for aerospace applications?
The spherical plain bearing allows angular rotation in two orthogonal directions around a centre point. They consist of an inner ring with a convex sphere exterior surface and an outer ring with a concave sphere inside the surface. In aerospace applications, they are used in components such as wing flaps, engine mounts, hatches and joints.
BS EN 2022 provides you guidance on required characteristics, including dimensions, tolerances, masses, loads, starting torques and materials, enabling you to standardize the dimensional and physical properties of spherical plain bearings.
BS EN 2022 also provides you guidance on marking spherical plain bearings to ensure classification, authenticity and usability in aerospace applications.
BS EN 2022 provides you with a standardized approach for manufacturing spherical plain bearings to ensure their quality, performance and durability in aerospace applications.
By adopting BS EN 2022, you can develop and assess spherical plain bearings for aerospace applications to ensure stability, operability and longevity in aerospace operations.
