What is BS EN 4266 - Spherical plain bearing about?
BS EN 4266 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers bearing spherical plain, metal to metal, in corrosion resisting steel, cadmium plated.
BS EN 4266 specifies the characteristics of spherical plain bearings, metal to metal, in corrosion resisting steel, cadmium plated and chromated, wide series, inch series for aerospace applications.
They are intended for use in fixed or moving parts of the aircraft structure and their control mechanisms.
Who is BS EN 4266 - Spherical plain bearing for?
BS EN 4266 on spherical plain bearing is useful for:
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Spherical plain bearing manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 4266 - Spherical plain bearing?
Spherical Plain Bearings (also known as “Spherical Plane Bearings” "Spherical Ball Bushing Bearings" and “Ball Bushings”) have an inner ring with a sphere convex outside surface and an outer ring with a correspondingly sphere, but concave inside surface.
A cadmium galvanic coating on steel has many advantages such as good lubricity, solderability, and low galvanic corrosion with aluminum . Cadmium plating offers effective sacrificial protection to steel components under corroding conditions.
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability and consistent performance are crucial, especially in fixed or moving parts of the aircraft structure and their control mechanisms. Hence BS EN 4266 walks you through the characteristics of spherical plain bearings, metal to metal, in corrosion resisting steel, cadmium plated and chromated, wide series, inch series. This ensures safety and reliability in your organization and in turn increases the efficiency of work.
