BS EN 3727:2006

What is BS EN 3727 - Airframe bearings for aerospace applications about? 

BS EN 3727 is a European Standard series that discusses components used in the aerospace industry. The purpose of BS EN 3727 is to provide the best industry design requirements for airframe bearings to ensure stable operability and durability in aerospace applications. 

BS EN 3727 specifies the required characteristics, inspection and test methods, qualification, and acceptance conditions for airframe bearings with flanged alignment housing. 

BS EN 3727 is applicable whenever it is referenced. 

Who is BS EN 3727 - Airframe bearings for aerospace applications for? 

BS EN 3727 on airframe bearings for aerospace applications is useful for: 

• Manufacturers and suppliers of airframe bearings for aerospace industry  
• Dealers and importers of airframe bearings for aerospace industry 
• Quality assurance services  
• Product design engineers  
• Aeronautical engineers 
• National authorities 

Why should you use BS EN 3727 - Airframe bearings for aerospace applications? 

The airframe bearings are practically filled with balls or rollers. They generally have a projecting inner ring and are all constructed with shields or seals and are charged with grease specified in the dimensional standards. These bearings are intended for use in fixed and moving components of the aircraft structure such as control surfaces, flaps, doors, etc., and their control mechanisms. 

BS EN 3727 provides you guidance on required characteristics for airframe bearings for aerospace applications, including configuration, dimensions, tolerances, surface roughness, materials, and surface treatment, enabling you to standardize the dimensional and physical properties of airframe bearings. 

BS EN 3727 provides you guidance on quality assurance, including product qualification, inspection tests for manufacturers and purchaser’s quality control to ensure the quality, performance and authenticity of the airframe bearings for aerospace applications. 

BS EN 3727 also provides you guidance on packaging conditions, including protection against moisture, corrosion, dirt and grease that enables you to deliver airframe bearings in top-notch condition to the aerospace industry. BS EN 3727 also provides you with a certificate of compliance to be issued by manufacturers for each production batch. 

By adopting BS EN 3727, you can demonstrate the stability, reliability and longevity of airframe bearings and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
