This specification covers all metal plain spherical bearings which are self-aligning for use between -65 °F and 250 °F. this specification covers bearings with alloy stell races, aluminum bronze races, and an entierly CRES bearing (ball and race). All units are inces, unless otherwise stated.
This test method establishes a standard procedure for using plug gages to evaluate dimensional conformance of lined inside diameters of bearings. Bearings covered by this test method include sleeve bearings and lined bore spherical bearings. Note that this method gives no indication of true cylindricity.
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) establishes methods for testing airframe plain bearings. The purpose of ARP5448 and its associated slash sheets is to document test methods commonly used to evaluate airframe bearings. These test methods may be referenced in specifications, part standards, purchase orders, etc., when the test is deemed appropriate to the intended use of the bearing by the end user of the bearing. These test methods are not intended to encompass every conceivable requirement for an airframe bearing. The end user of the bearing must exercise engineering judgment to determine the most appropriate standard and/or nonstandard tests for the application.

This specification covers all metal plain spherical bearings which are self-aligning for use between 65 °F to 250 °F. This specification covers bearings with alloy steel races, aluminum bronze races, and an entierly CRES bearing (ball and race). All units are inches, unless otherwise stated.
This specification covers plain rod end bearings, corrosion resistant steel (CRES) or alloy steel, which are self-aligning and self-lubricating by incorporating polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in a liner between the ball and race for use in the temperature range -65 to +325 °F (-54 to +163 °C).
This test method outlines the recommended procedure for performing radial limit load and ultimate load tests on low speed airframe and high speed helicopter rotor head bearings.
