What is BS EN 4166 - Characteristics of PTFE bushes for aerospace applications about?
BS EN 4166 discusses the Aerospace series. Aerospace is a term used to collectively refer to the atmosphere and outer space. Aerospace activity is very diverse, with a multitude of commercial, industrial, and military applications. Aerospace engineering consists of aeronautics and astronautics. BS EN 4166 defines the characteristics of PTFE bushes for three-part clips, spring tension for applications at a maximum temperature of 260 °C, for aerospace applications.
They shall be assembled with parts from EN 4167 and EN 4168. EN 4167 is the Aerospace series — Clips, spring tension, three parts — Inner clips in heat resisting steel FE-PA2601 (A286) and EN 4168 is the Aerospace series — Clips, spring tension, three parts — Outer clips in heat resisting steel FE-PA2601 (A286).
Who is BS EN 4166 - Characteristics of PTFE bushes for aerospace applications for?
BS EN 4166 on the characteristics of PTFE bushes for aerospace applications is useful for:

Why should you use BS EN 4166 - Characteristics of PTFE bushes for aerospace applications?
PTFE is a soft, low friction fluoropolymer with good chemical resistance and weathering resistance. PTFE also has excellent electrical insulating properties. PTFE Bushes are used in applications where standard metal bearings cannot be employed due to high coefficients of friction and where other polymer bearings fail due to high loads or temperatures. PTFE bush bearings offer dry-running, lubrication-free behaviour.
BS EN 4166 helps Aeronautical engineers, Space researchers, testing agencies, product designers, manufacturers, and suppliers of PTFE bushes as it provides attributes to be followed to ensure efficiency and durability of PTFE bushes for three-part clips, spring tension for applications at a maximum temperature of 260 °C, for aerospace applications.
