Structural bearings - Part 7: Spherical and cylindrical PTFE bearings
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1337-7 standard provides guidelines for the design, manufacturing, testing, and application of spherical and cylindrical sliding PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) bearings. The standard applies to bearings with an included angle of up to 60° for spherical bearings and 75° for cylindrical bearings.
This standard is to be used in conjunction with EN 1337-1 and other relevant parts of the EN 1337 series. It ensures that the bearings meet the necessary requirements for structural applications and provides a consistent approach for their design, production, and quality assurance. By following the guidelines in this standard, manufacturers can ensure the proper functioning and reliability of their PTFE bearings.
The standard covers various aspects of PTFE bearings, including their geometry, material properties, load-bearing capacity, and durability. It outlines the testing procedures to validate the performance of these bearings and sets criteria for their acceptance. Additionally, the standard provides necessary information for the correct installation and maintenance of the bearings to ensure their long-term functionality and safety.
