What is BS EN 2585 about?
BS EN 2585 is a European standard on bearings that discusses the technical specification of the spherical plain bearings. BS EN 2585 specifies the characteristics of spherical plain bearings in corrosion resisting steel, with self-lubricating liner, wide series, for elevated load at ambient temperature, with or without swaging groove, intended for use in the fixed or moving parts of the aircraft structure and control mechanisms. They shall be used in the temperature range −55° C to 163° C.
Who is BS EN 2585 for?
BS EN 2585 on spherical plain bearings is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of spherical plain bearings
- Mechanical engineer
- Aerospace industry
Why should you use BS EN 2585?
Spherical plain bearings are metal-on-metal bearings consisting of a spherically ground inner ring housed in a mating outer ring without any rolling elements. Spherical bearings are used in car suspensions, engines, driveshafts, heavy machinery, sewing machines, robotics, and many other applications.
BS EN 2585 provides guidance on configuration, dimensions, tolerances, mass, surface roughness, loads and starting torques, materials, surface treatment on the inner ring solely. BS EN 2585 exemplifies the required dimensions and loads that help you achieve precision in terms
of product functionality.
As a user of BS EN 2585, you can be ensured of characteristics of spherical plain bearings. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2585, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality corrosion-resistant self-lubricating spherical plain bearings. BS EN 2585 helps you to build consumer trust and confidence in the product. The guidance provided on the quality management system by BS EN 2585 help you to ensure that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
