What is BS 7675 – thin walled half bearings about?
BS 7675 is an International Standard that specifies methods of checking the measuring equipment and gauging tools necessary for measuring the peripheral length (or nip or crush) of thin-walled half-bearings.
Measuring equipment different from that illustrated in BS 7675 can be used, providing the measuring accuracy of the equipment is consistent with the specifications given in BS 7675.
BS 7675 applies to thin-walled half-bearings, the specifications of which are given in ISO 3548 and ISO 6864.
Note: BS 7675 does not include measurement of the joint face taper.
Who is BS 7675 - thin walled half bearings for?
BS 7818 on ‘thin walled half bearings’ is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of bearings
- Manufacturers who use bearings for their products
- Product design engineers / innovation teams
- Quality control / testing personnel
- Compliance / audit teams
Why should you use BS 7675 - thin walled half bearings?
Thin-walled half-bearings are flexible and, in the free condition, do not conform to a cylindrical
profile. This is one reason why the peripheral length of the half-bearings can only be measured under a constraining load by use of specialized measuring equipment.
BS 7675 guides you with measuring equipment and its requirements for measuring the nip of thin walled half bearings. BS 7675 also discusses gauging tools for establishing the datum. Correction factors and accuracy of the methods have also been elaborated on. BS 7675 guidelines help you to check the measuring equipment and gauging tools for measuring the nip of thin walled half bearings so that customers can have access to high-quality products.
