This ARP discusses common rod end locking devices with recommended applications and some of the advantages and disadvantages of specific configurations. An appendix is included with factors to be considered for selection of positive locking devices and a discussion of safetying devices for rod end assemblies.
This standard covers plain and flanged sleeve bearings which are self-lubricating by incorporating polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in a liner in the bore for use in the temperature range of -65 to +325 °F.
This test method outlines a recommended procedure for performing bond integrity tests of bonded peelable woven fabric reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) liners, hereafter referred to within this document as "PTFE liner" or "liner". The data from these tests shall be used to determine if the product meets the "bond integrity" requirements of the applicable specifications.
This standard details two methods of inspecting PTFE lined spherical or journal bearing wear outside the test apparatus. The methods described herein are applicable only to bearings which were unidirectionally loaded and the area of sliding wear is known and held constant throughout the dynamic test. The two methods described are: a Destructive Inspection - Cut and measure (not applicable to molded liners) b Nondestructive Inspection - Radial play (gauge) measurement
