Overview
The SIST EN 4539-003:2011 standard, published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), defines the specifications for aerospace spherical plain bearings made from corrosion-resistant steel with a self-lubricating liner. These bearings are designed for elevated load conditions under low oscillations and feature a low friction coefficient. This wide series, inch-based standard specifies dimensions, tolerances, mechanical loads, and surface treatments, targeting high-performance aerospace applications in demanding environments with temperatures ranging from -54 °C to 120 °C.
Key Topics
Spherical Plain Bearings
Bearings described in this standard utilize a corrosion-resistant steel construction combined with a self-lubricating liner, allowing for reduced maintenance and enhanced operational reliability.Material Specifications
- Inner ring: Steel conforming to EN 2030, with a hardness range of 55 to 62 HRC.
- Outer ring: Steel according to EN 3161, hardness between 28 to 37 HRC before swaging.
- Liner: Self-lubricating, low-friction, wear-resistant material consistent with EN 4540 requirements.
Dimensional Series and Tolerances
The standard covers inch series wide types with precise dimensional control, including diameter codes, tolerances for bore and outside diameters, and surface roughness specifications to ensure optimal bearing performance.Surface Treatments
Bearing components receive specific treatments for durability and corrosion resistance:- Chrome plating on the inner ring’s spherical diameter per AMS-QQ-C-320
- Cadmium plating on the outer race following EN 2133, including chromating options on certain surfaces
- Options with or without swaging grooves designated by codes "R" or "S"
Load Capacities and Friction Coefficients
The bearings are rated for static and dynamic loads, emphasizing elevated load capacity under low oscillations.- Static radial and axial limits, dynamic radial loads (up to 250,000 cycles) defined per diameter class.
- A maximum friction coefficient of 0.18 within the operational temperature range of -54 °C to 120 °C, ensuring low friction during oscillating movements.
Designation and Marking
The standard provides a specific format for bearing identification, including diameter codes, surface technology, and surface treatment codes for traceability and uniformity. Marking complies with EN 2424:2008 style A.
Applications
This standard is essential for aerospace industry professionals, engineers, and manufacturers involved in the design, production, and maintenance of aircraft components requiring high-reliability spherical plain bearings. Typical applications include:
- Aircraft landing gear
- Aero-engine components
- Flight control systems
- Space launch mechanisms
- Other aerospace mechanical transmissions where corrosion resistance, low friction, and elevated load handling under low oscillation conditions are critical
Using bearings conforming to SIST EN 4539-003:2011 guarantees compatibility with aerospace safety and performance requirements while minimizing maintenance thanks to the self-lubricating liner.
