BS EN 2018 is a European Standard that includes the dimensions and loads of single row airframe bearings. BS EN 2018 specifies the characteristics, of rigid single row ball bearings of diameter series.
BS EN 2018 outlines the scope, application, references, definitions, symbols, materials, and characteristics to mitigate any ambiguity or risks while manufacturing the bearings.
BS EN 2018 also includes designation, marking, and technical specification to ensure precise production of the bearings. BS EN 2018 has mentioned relevant figures and tables for a clear understanding.
Note: Single row airframe bearings are designed to withstand only slow rotations and oscillations under load.
BS EN 2018 on Single row airframe bearings is useful for:
Single row airframe bearings are intended for use between fixed and moving parts of the aircraft structure and their control mechanisms. Single row airframe bearings are made of steel which is widely used in the production of aircraft components for their properties like rigidity. These bearings are self-aligning which means they are easy to use and stay fixed firmly. They are used in aerospace applications for their mechanical properties.
Their critical application makes uniform and consistent high-quality production a necessity. BS EN 2018 lays out guidelines that can help you in the efficient production of these bearings. BS EN 2018 can also help you demonstrate reliability and credibility in front of your customers. Thus, it can demonstrate the outstanding performance for withstanding load as well as pressure at a high speed.
