What is BS EN 2285 - Aerospace series – Plain bushes about ?
BS EN 2285 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers bushes, plain, aluminium alloy, with self-lubricating liner.
BS EN 2285 specifies the characteristics of plain bushes in aluminium alloy with self-lubricating liner and the design recommendation of shafts and housings.
The bushes are intended for operation within the temperature range of −55 °C to 121 °C and assembly with an interference fit into fixed and moving aerospace parts.
Who is BS EN 2285 - Aerospace series - Plain bushes for ?
BS EN 2285 on aerospace series - bushes is useful for: 
- Aerospace parts manufacturers
- Plain bushes manufacturers
- Mechanical engineers
Why should you use BS EN 2285 - Aerospace series - Plain bushes ?
Plain bushes are an independent type of plain bearing, used to prevent friction. They are a cylindrical lining used within a shaft, pin or hinge to prevent wear inside a hole. Plain bushes are inserted into a housing to provide a bearing surface for rotary applications.
Bearing with Shaft & Housing Fits. Determining proper shaft and housing fits is critical to ensure long bearing life. The fit, or amount of interference that exists between mating components (such as the shaft and bearing bore), can be devised into three categories: loose (slip), transition, and press (tight).
BS EN 2285 which specifies the characteristics of plain bushes in aluminium alloy with self-lubricating liner and the design recommendation of shafts and housings can help you use this information in various aerospace applications. This can help you increase safety in operations.
