What is BS EN 6097 - Spherical plain bearing about?
BS EN 6097 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers inch based spherical plain bearings, metal to metal, in corrosion resisting steel.
BS EN 6097 specifies the characteristics of inch based spherical plain bearings, metal to metal, in corrosion resisting steel, extra wide inner ring inch series.
Note: BS EN 6097 is published at edition P2. Former P1 and drafts may exist of Airbus development only but without any ASD-STAN official publication. In consequence configuration management discrepancies with these unofficial documents are under Airbus responsibility.
Who is BS EN 6097 - Spherical plain bearing for?
BS EN 6097 on the characteristics of inch based spherical plain bearings is applicable to:
- Aerospace parts manufacturers
- Spherical plain bearings manufacturers
- Dimensions and loads engineers
Why should you use BS EN 6097 - Spherical plain bearing?
Spherical plain bearings are used to accommodate shafts or rods with varying amounts of misalignment. They are designed to manage high radial loads and provide consistent performance under conditions of marginal lubrication, extreme speed and critical-application stress.
Inch based spherical plain bearings are intended for use in fixed or moving parts of the aircraft structure and their control mechanisms, which is vital for aeroplane passengers safety. BS EN 6097 on aerospace series of inch based spherical plain bearings provides best practices for the same.
BS EN 6097 gives all the details on the requirements of inch based spherical plain bearings which gives a solid base for the user to start with.
