This European Standard, a part of the BS EN 1337 series, specifies the requirements for the design and manufacture of rocker bearings. In order to accommodate displacements rocker bearings can be combined with a sliding element in accordance with BS EN 1337-2.
Bearings which are subjected to rotation greater than 0.05 rad resulting from the characteristic combination of actions are outside the scope of this part of BS EN 1337. This standard does not apply to rocker bearings made with materials other than those specified in clause 5.
