Overview
ISO 3547-1:2018 - Plain bearings - Wrapped bushes - Part 1: Dimensions specifies the dimensional system, designations and tolerancing principles for cylindrical and flanged wrapped bushes made from mono- and multi‑layer bearing materials. It is the third edition (2018) of the standard and defines how wrapped bushes are sized, checked (e.g., ring gauge testing), and documented for plain bearing applications.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and materials: Applies to wrapped bushes (cylindrical and flanged) made from single- or multi-layer bearing materials for plain bearings.
- Dimensional tables: Preferred nominal dimensions and tolerances for inside diameter, outside diameter, wall thickness, bush width and flange geometry are provided in detailed tables.
- Wall thickness and inside diameter: Methods for specifying either wall thickness or inside diameter are given (but not both simultaneously); wall‑thickness tolerance series (A–E) and Series W (machined bores) are defined.
- Ring gauge testing: The standard references gauging (Test C in ISO 3547-2) and gives tolerances for the bush inside diameter when checked in a ring gauge (Series W).
- Housing bore and press‑fit: Rules to derive minimum/maximum inside diameters from housing bore and wall thickness are included. A formula and guidance for calculating housing bore expansion due to pressing-in of the bush are added in this edition.
- Chamfers and radii: Recommended outside and inside chamfers, and flange radii, including machined vs rolled edge options.
- Design guidance: Notes on butt-joint types, allowable distortion from wrapping, machining allowances, lubrication holes/grooves/indents and finish requirements (no loose burrs).
- Inspection and tolerances: Concentricity guidance and recommended tolerance classes for housing bores (e.g., H6/H7 ranges) are included, plus reference to quality-control methods.
Practical applications and users
ISO 3547-1 is used to:
- Specify wrapped bush dimensions and tolerances for engineering drawings and procurement.
- Guide manufacturers in producing standard cylindrical and flanged wrapped bushes.
- Support quality inspectors and laboratory testing (gauging, dimensional inspection).
- Help designers and OEMs ensure correct press‑fit, bore tolerances and assembly performance in rotating machinery, automotive components, industrial gearboxes, pumps and other plain bearing applications. Typical users: bearing manufacturers, component designers, procurement engineers, maintenance teams and test laboratories.
Related standards
- ISO 3547 series (other parts cover tests and requirements, e.g., ISO 3547-2)
- ISO 4378‑1 and ISO 4378‑4 (terms, definitions, symbols for plain bearings)

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

This assumes that there is no expansion of the bore in the housing caused by pressing in the bush. In
reality, the expansion depends on several factors, such as the stiffness of the housing and the bush. An
example of the calculation is given in Clause 7.
The wall thickness tolerance depends on whether or not there is a machining allowance in the bush
bore and on the material type, as specified in ISO 3547-4. The preferred tolerance series (A to E) is
specified in Table 5.
Instead of the wall thickness, the inside diameter, D , of the bush may be specified. D is the inside

diameter of the bush, when this is pressed into a ring gauge (Test C — gauging — in accordance with
ISO 3547-2; see also ISO 3547-6).
For bushes which are supplied with a machined bore (Series W), the tolerances of the inside diameter of
the bush, D , checked in a ring gauge, are given in Table 6.
i, ch
In no case shall wall thickness and inside diameter be given at the same time as the dimensions that are
to be checked.
The tolerance for the inside diameter, D , of the bush in the ring gauge is given in Table 6. The tolerance

of the inside diameter of a bush pressed into a housing is found from the sum of the tolerance for, D ,
i, ch
and the tolerance of the housing bore. As in the case of the calculation of the inside diameter from the
wall thickness, it is assumed that there is no expansion of the housing bore.
Dimensions for the outside diameter, D , of the bush are given in Table 7.
