 Ameti ational Standa

Approval ot an American National Standard reyuires veritication by ANSI that the

requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met
by the standards developer.

Consensusis established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of StandardsReview,

substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests.
Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily
unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a
concerned effort be made toward their resolution.

The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does
not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not. from
manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes. or procedures not
conforming to the standards.

The American National ‘Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no
circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no
person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National
Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for inter-
pretations should be addressedto the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the
title page of this standard.

CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn

at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that
action be taken to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard no later than five years
from the date of approval. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive
current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Stan-
dart15Institute.

 Foreword

(This foreword is not a part of American National Standard for Spherical Plain
Bearings, Joint Type-Inch Design, ANSVAFBMA Standard 22.2-1988)

This standard covers inch design spherical plain bearings of types which are
presently in production in the U.S.A.

Typical utilization of swaged bearings, Series 1 and 2 in this Standard, includes

airframe control surfaces, involving high load, oscillation and misalignment,
normally with intermittent operation. Reference: MIL-B-8942 (Bearings, Plain,
TFE Lined, Self-Aligning), MIL-B-8976 (Bearings, Plain, Self-Aligning, All Metal),
MIL-B-81820 (Bearings, Plain, Self-Lubricating, Self-Aligning, Low Speed), MIL-
B-81936 (Bearings, Plain, Self-Aligning, BeCu Bali, CRES Race).

The typical use of fractured bearings, Series 3 in this Standard, involves slow
rotation or oscillation with medium or heavy misaligned loading.

Suggestions for the improvement of this standard gained through experience

with its use will be welcomed. These should be sent to the American National
Standards Institute, Inc., 1430 Broadway, New York, N.Y. 10018.

Institute and the organizations represented at the time this standard was sub-
mitted are as follows:

(2) Equal to the maximum housing fillet radius.
(3) For bearings without seals the angle of tilt will be larger and depend on adjacent mounting arrangement

An AFBMA Standard is intended as a guide to aid the manufacturer, the consumer

and the general public. The existence of an AFBMA Standard does not in any respect
preclude anyone, whether he has approved the Standard or not from manufacturing,
marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming
to the standard. AFBMA Standards are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time
and users who refer to an AFBMA Standard should satisfy themselves that they have
the latest information from the Association.
The standard in this booklet is one of more than 10,000 standards approved to date
by the American National Standards Institute.

The Standards Institute provides the machinery for creating voluntary standards. It
serves to eliminate duplication of standards activities and to weld conflicting standards
into single, nationally accepted standards under the designation “American National
Standards.”

Each standard represents general agreement among maker, seller, and user groups
as to the best current practice with regard to some specific problem. Thus the completed
standards cut across the whole fabric of production, distribution, and consumption of
goods and services. American National Standards, by reason of Institute procedures,
reflect a national consensus of manufacturers, consumers, and scientific, technical,
and professional organizations, and governmental agencies. The completed standards
are used widely by industry and commerce and often by municipal, state, and federal
governments.

The Standards Institute, under whose auspices this work is being done, is the United
States clearinghouse and coordinating body for voluntary standards activity on the
national level. It is a federation of trade associations, technical societies, professional
groups, and consumer organizations. Some 1000 companies are affiliated with the
Institute as company members.

The American National Standards Institute is the United States member of the Inter-
national Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC). Through these channels U.S. standards interests make their posi-
tions felt on the international level. American National Standards are on file in the
libraries of the national standards bodies of more than 60 countries.
