BS ISO 10792-2:1995

This standard BS ISO 10792-2:1995 Aerospace. Airframe spherical plain bearings in corrosion-resisting steel with self-lubricating liner is classified in these ICS categories:

• 49.035 Components for aerospace construction

This part of ISO 10792 specifies the characteristics of spherical plain bearings in corrosion-resisting steel with self-lubricating liner, narrow and wide series, for elevated loads at ambient temperature, for use in fixed or moving parts of the aircraft structure and control mechanisms at temperatures of −55 °C to + 163 °C.

It is applicable to self-lubricating spherical plain bearings (without rolling elements) consisting of an outer ring having a concave sphered sliding contact surface with self-lubricating liner and inner ring having a matched convex sphered sliding contact surface.

At the time that this part of ISO 10792 was developed, airframe spherical plain bearings with dimensions originally specified in Imperial units were dominant in world application. For this part of ISO 10792, the dimensions of these bearings have been converted into metric units with the original characteristics given in annex A for information only.

For new applications, the use of the bearings specified in ISO 10792-1 is recommended.

Narrow and wide series bearings intended for use in fixed or moving parts of the aircraft structure and control mechanisms.
