What is BS EN 3061 - Airframe rolling bearings about?
BS EN 3061 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers bearings, airframe rolling. Rigid single row ball bearings in corrosion resisting steel, with flanged alignment housing.
BS EN 3061 specifies the characteristics of rigid single row ball bearings in corrosion resisting steel with a solid or lightweight flanged alignment housing, designed to withstand only slow rotations and slight oscillations under load. They are intended for use in the hubs of torsion lever and in separated supports for airframe/aerospace applications.
The airframe rolling bearings defined in this standard may be used in the temperature range from – 54 °C to 150 °C.
Who is BS EN 3061 - Airframe rolling bearings for?
BS EN 3061 on airframe rolling bearings is useful for: 
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Airframe rolling bearings manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 3061 - Airframe rolling bearings?
Airframe control bearings are characterized as lightweight, corrosion protected, grease lubricated, and typically sealed bearings, which are ideal for oscillating and/or heavy duty applications. Types: Full line of airframe control ball and roller anti-friction bearings.
Single row deep groove ball bearings are the most widely used roller bearing type in the world due to their versatility and overall performance. They are characterized by having deep raceway grooves in which the inner and outer rings have circular arcs of slightly larger radius than that of the balls.
Steel has a certain resistance against corrosion. This so-called passivity is due to a thin and invisible layer of oxides being formed on the surface. This process takes place through a reaction between the metal and the oxygen in the surrounding environment.
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability and consistent performance are crucial. Hence BS EN 3061 walks you through the characteristics of rigid single row ball bearings in corrosion resisting steel with a solid or lightweight flanged alignment housing, designed to withstand only slow rotations and slight oscillations under load. This ensures safety and reliability in your organization and in turn increases the efficiency of work.
