INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE AND KNOW-HOW


RBC Bearings has a long and impressive history as an
innovator in bearing technology one that has been highlighted
by patents for creative engineering design. Today, the company
comprises a number of facilities throughout North America and
Europe, with a global network of sales engineers, aerospace
distributors, and authorized agents. Publicly held (Nasdaq:
ROLL), RBC has grown steadily through strategic planning and
acquisitions. Since the early nineties, these acquisitions have
continued to expand the breadth of an extensive product line of
bearings and related products that serve global industries
chief among them, aerospace.
Since its earliest days in West Trenton, New Jersey, the
company has been at the forefront of bearing technology. Roller
Bearing Company of America, founded in 1919, manufactured
a variety of bearing products. In 1941, Roller Bearing Company
became the sole source supplier for the landing gear bearings
on military aircraft manufactured by Ford Motor Company. The
RBC facility in West Trenton continues today to be a major
supplier of helicopter main and tail rotor flight control bearings
to, among others, the U.S. Government.
In 1990, RBC acquired Industrial Tectonics Bearings (ITB).
Located in Rancho Dominguez, California, the division was
founded in 1955. ITB manufactures a complete line of thin
section ball bearings with capabilities up to 24 inches outside
diameter. Typical aerospace applications include engine,
gearbox and transmission bearings, helicopter swashplate
bearings and electro-optical targeting pods. ITB specializes in
the manufacturing of complex, high precision bearings, utilizing
special materials and coatings, while serving the aerospace and
defense markets.

Transport Dynamics (TDC), founded in 1955, and was


acquired in 1992. Also located in southern California, Transport
is one of RBCs main producers of plain bearings, manufacturing
journal bearings (bushings), spherical plain, and rod end product
with a focus on engine and helicopter applications. Plain
bearings at TDC are constructed in metal-to-metal and as lined,
self-lubricating product. Transport Dynamics offers over 30
different liner systems depending upon the loading, wear, and
temperature conditions in the application (including the
patented Fibriloid and Fiberglide liner technology). TDC
manufactures plain bearing product in both conventional
swaged configurations and as load slot entry bearings
(Messerschmidt design). Transport Dynamics was actually the
inventor of the lined spherical bearing, with the first application
developed in 1957 for the Chevrolet Corvette suspension joint.
Boeing adopted this new bearing design and soon it was used
throughout the 727 model aircraft. TDC actually licensed this
technology to all their competitors back in the 1960s.
Heim Bearings, Fairfield, Connecticut, joined the RBC
family in 1993. Founded by Louis Heim in 1942, the Heim
name has been known and respected for designing the first
integral rod end bearing, specifically the Unibal spherical
bearing rod end. This bearing was originally designed to solve
aircraft delivery delays due to critical shortages in rod ends and
self-aligning bearings during the war effort. Heim Bearings
Company is also well known for inventing centerless grinding
and for inventing the swaging process used in the manufacture
of spherical plain bearings. In addition to rod end and spherical
bearings, Heim Bearings Company manufactures specialized
radial ball bearings, such as a cobalt race hybrid bearing with
silicon nitride balls for a hot bleed air valve application in
aircraft auxiliary power units, suspension applications on

and metric spherical bearings to the family of global RBC
products, and a base with which to service the European
market. Within this 140,000 sq. ft. facility, RBC has established
the companys European Distribution Center. In addition,
Schaublin was licensed by Heim Bearings to market Unibal
rod ends back in the 1950s. Schaublin specializes in light
weight titanium bearing solutions, including next level
assemblies utilizing integral split ball designs for the aerospace
industry. RBC also acquired what is now called RBC France
a sales, engineering, marketing, and distribution arm for
Schaublin product, located in Les Ulis, France.
In December, 2003, RBC acquired the business of the former
Torrington Standard Plant a long-established leader in
airframe products. This facility, referred to as RBC Aircraft
Products, Inc. (API) was founded in 1866. The Torrington
name is synonymous with quality engineering and precision
and complements the RBC portfolio of aerospace product
offerings. At the API plant, RBC produces aircraft needle
track roller bearings, lined track rollers, cam followers, radial
ball bearings, and is RBCs main facility for the production of
52100 cad plated, 440C stainless, and zinc nickel plate airframe
control ball bearings. RBC has become the number one
producer worldwide of airframe control product and has virtually
every series and size Mil Spec approval along with an extensive
list of European approvals.
RBC has made an additional aerospace business acquisition
in each of the years 2004, 2005, and 2006; acquiring U.S.
Bearing, Chatsworth, California; Southwest Products Inc.,
Baldwin Park, California; and Allpower Manufacturing, Santa
Fe Springs, California, respectively. Southwest Products/US
Bearings has the capability to offer unique swaged bearing
solutions (up to 11" OD), in addition to low friction liners and
hard coat machining. The product offering has evolved to
include split ball spherical and rod ends, large trunnion
bearings, specialty rod ends and solid and welded links.
SWP/USB has played a major role in the design and support of
plain bearings for commercial and military aircraft, helicopter,

power plant, satellite, military land vehicle and submarine


applications. Allpower Manufacturing, a Boeing and Airbus
approved supplier, produces a full line of precision bushings,
spacers, sleeves, and specialty machined parts servicing the
aerospace industry. Capable of offering specialized materials, All
Power is proficient with stainless steel, carbon steel, beryllium
copper, Inconel, titanium, aluminum, aluminum bronze and

The first RBC bearings designed expressly for


airframe controls were manufactured in 1929. As
pioneers in this field, these early control bearings paved
the way for later generations of RBC products which
are recognized as design and performance standards
by the global aircraft industry.
Over the years RBC has steadily expanded its
aircraft line to meet the increasingly exacting demands
imposed by newer, larger aircraft and airborne vehicles.
This line now offers the widest range of types and sizes
available to the aircraft industry. Many of these
products have been specifically designed to meet the
demands for elevated temperatures, low torque, closer
tolerances, compactness, and greatest load capacity to
bearing weight ratios.
Although most bearings listed on the following pages
are designed primarily for the airframe industry, many
have been used successfully in other fields in which the
motion is mainly oscillatory. These bearings are
manufactured with the high standards of precision and
quality synonymous with RBCs reputation throughout
the industry.

GENERAL INFORMATION
RBC airframe (or aircraft) control bearings and RBC
ball bearing rod ends are manufactured in compliance
to U.S. Government and Aerospace Industry Standards
and Specifications.
Airframe control bearings and ball bearing rod ends
are of lightweight design, corrosion protected, greaselubricated, and typically sealed. Although designed and
manufactured under demanding quality control
requirements for airborne systems, these bearings have
been successfully used in other fields of application,
where motions are mainly oscillatory and/or with
limited rotation.

PRECISION
RBC supplies airframe control bearings both in
Standard and Precision series. The prefix M in a
bearing number indicates that it is of a precision series.
RBC supplies ball bearing rod ends as a Precision
series.

MATERIAL
Rings and balls are made of hardened bearing alloy,
AISI 52100. All exposed surfaces except bearing bore
are cadmium or zinc nickel plated for corrosion
protection, unless otherwise noted.

For improved corrosion protection, RBC also supplies


bearings made of hardened stainless steel alloy, AISI
440C. This alloy may, in addition, be passivated,
cadmium plated, or zinc nickel plated for enhanced
corrosion protection.
On ball bearing rod ends the outer rod body is made
of a selectively hardened AISI 8620 or RBC AeroCres
fracture-tough material. AeroCres fracture-tough
airframe products use a specialized carburized
stainless steel. RBC has developed and optimized the
heat treatment process resulting in a homogeneous
microstructure delivering both corrosion protection
and core fracture toughness.

AIRFRAME CONTROL & ROD END BEARINGS

STANDARDS OF QUALITY

Bearings listed herein are tabulated in two groups:


(1) full complement bearings, which have no ball
separators (retainers or cages); and, (2) bearings with
ball-separators (ball retainers or ball cages). As noted
before, the full complement bearings should be used
in applications where the motion is mainly oscillatory;
whereas, the bearings with ball separators may be used
in applications where the motion may be continuous
rotation or oscillatory under relatively light loads.

All RBC bearings are manufactured to the same


high standards of quality and reliability. RBC strives to
engineer and utilize the latest available manufacturing
technologies for producing bearings which meet
and exceed all existing customer standards and
expectations. This is RBCs assurance that its
bearings will be available to fill the most demanding
performance requirements in a variety of applications.

Airframe Control Full Complement (No Cage)


Bearings

When selecting bearings, the primary focus should


be on application requirements. Once the application
requirements are clearly understood and specified,
selecting bearing type and design is relatively
straightforward. What are the main application
requirements for bearings? Loads (radial, axial,
moment, and magnitude), motion (oscillatory, rotating,
or intermittent), speed (fast or slow), bearing life
requirements (long or short), operating temperature
(hot or cold), and operating medium (clean or
contaminated air, water, vacuum, etc.) are among key
application requirements. Depending on combination
and severity of such factors, RBC engineering can offer
guidance in selecting bearings for optimum service in
the application.
As an aid in the preliminary stages of bearing
selection, but not as a substitute for the services of a
skilled bearing engineer, the following points are listed
for the guidance of designers and inspectors:
1. If the bearing is used for continuous rotation, or in
a delicate instrument application, do not consider
any of the control type series, such as KP, KP-A,
KP-B, KSP, DPP, DSP, etc., but refer to standard
radial bearings or other more specialized types
listed in other RBC catalogs.
2. All control surface hinge bearings should be of the
sealed type. The sealed type is recommended on
installations exposed to salt water spray, aircraft
cleaning solutions, and where subjected to severe
dust or dirt. Bearings having no shields or seals
should be completely enclosed by the housing in
which they are mounted to provide protection
against external contaminants from entering the
bearing and prevent lubricant inside from
migrating or escape out of the bearing.
3. Airframe control self-aligning bearings of the KSP
series are intended to compensate for misalignment
due to initial setup and deflection in structure. They

should not be used as rod end bearings in nonplanar linkages. For such applications, the DSP
or DSRP series should be considered.
4. Bearing design intent and installation guidelines
should be followed closely. Due consideration
should be given to how a bearing would perform
as installed and loaded in the next level assembly,
as opposed to how it performs during free-state
handling. Inspectors, therefore, should not reject
KSP, DSP and DSRP series bearings because of
tightness and/or roughness when the bearing is
spun in a misaligned position. A study of the
internal design will show that in pure
misalignment (not accompanied by rotation) the
balls do not roll, but skid across the ball raceway
due to their wedging action. Any inspectors
insistence that bearings be loosely fitted to ensure
ease of misalignment would be unjustified and
might cause flutter because of sloppy controls.
A reasonable amount of tightness in self-aligning
bearings (not excess binding) will ensure the
desired rigidity in the control linkage system.
Please adhere to instructions on shaft and housing
fits provided in this catalog.
5. On applications in which a pair of bearings is
assembled in a housing, such as on a bell crank
pivot, for example, the following considerations
are vital to satisfactory service:
a. Bearings should not be preloaded when the nut
is tightened up on the bolt or shaft supporting
the two bearings.
b. Ensure concentricity of bearing seats in the
housing to avoid binding of bearing with
respect to each other, when the bolt is passed
through. As rule of thumb, to prevent premature
bearing failures, the size and form precision of
the supporting housing and shaft should be
comparable to those of the bearing itself.
Questions concerning information in this section
should be directed to the appropriate RBC Aerospace
Bearings sales engineer.

LOAD RATINGS, LIMIT, AND STATIC RATINGS


The limit load ratings published in this catalog for
airframe control bearings are the product of a special
study undertaken jointly in 1949 by the Bureau of
Aeronautics, the United States Air Force, the National
Aircraft Standards Committee (NASC), and the American
Bearing Manufacturers Association (ABMA). The purpose

of this study was to develop a system for rating airframe


control bearings based on criteria that would simulate
more closely conditions encountered in real flight.
The basic equation is:
Limit load rating = Knd2
where K = Load rating constant
n = Number of balls
d = Ball diameter
Typical K factors for radial limit load ratings are
about 10,000 for deep groove bearings, 4800 for single
row self-aligning bearings, 3800 for double row selfaligning bearings and 3200 for rod end bearings. In no
case does the limit load rating exceed two-thirds of the
bearings minimum static fracture strength. That is, the
minimum static fracture strength is 1.5 times the limit
load rating.

OSCILLATING LOAD RATINGS


For bearing life and load calculations under
oscillating conditions, consult the RBC Aerospace
Engineering Department.
Full complement type bearings should not be
used for rotating applications either intermittent
or continuous. If it becomes necessary to consider
these bearings in such applications, consult the RBC
Aerospace Engineering Department prior to making
selections.
An oscillating load rating system was accepted by
AFBMA as an unpublished standard in 1959.
This standard permits selection of the smallest
bearing that will operate under the normal loading for
the desired life. This data is presented as tables of
radial load ratings for 10,000 complete 90 oscillatory
cycles. The 90 angle was selected as typical, a good
value for test work, and conservative for bearing
selection until more data is accumulated on the effect
of various angles of oscillation. Rating are given for:
Case I: where the load is fixed with respect to the
outer race (inner ring oscillation)
Case II: where the load is fixed with respect to the
inner race. (outer ring oscillation)
Radial load ratings for any other number of oscillatory
cycles may be readily obtained by multiplying the basic
10,000 cycle rating by a life factor obtained from a life
factor curve.
The formulas for the ratings and life factors were derived
from data accumulated by testing many bearings of
different sizes and types under several different radial loads.

ENGINEERING FOR AIRFRAME CONTROL AND BALL BEARING ROD ENDS

Following are typical examples of bearing selection


based upon the procedure described previously.

Example 1
Taking the 1208 lb. equivalent load (above) in an
application in which the heaviest of three radial loads is
2000 lbs., we can proceed through the KP and KP-A
Series locating the smallest acceptable bearing as follows:
If there is no oscillatory life requirement stated and
set-up of an overhaul period according to oscillatory life
indicated, then proceed through the KP Series until the
KP4 is reached, which is the first size having a radial
limit load rating exceeding 2000 lbs. (2680 lbs.) and
Case II rating 2030 lbs. Both of which exceed the 1208
lb. equivalent. The average oscillatory life for 1208 lbs.
on a KP4 for Case I condition is 120,200 cycles for a
Life Factor of 1208/2410 = .501. The average
oscillatory life for 1208 lbs. on a KP4 for Case II
condition is 64,700 cycles for a Life Factor of
1208/2030 = .595. The overhaul schedule can be set
up for these average lives or on the basis of one-fifth
of these lives for minimum life (90% survival).
Similar procedure in the KP-A Series shows KP5A as
the smallest acceptable size with an average life of 43,700
cycles for Case I and 27,500 cycles for Case II. Minimum
life is again one-fifth of these average life values.

AIRFRAME CONTROL
& BALL BEARING
ROD ENDS

Briefly then, in selecting a bearing there are two steps:


1. Select a bearing that has a radial limit load rating
equal to or in excess of application limit load.
2. Check the oscillatory rating of this bearing to
ensure that the desired average life will be
obtained under the normal loading.
In actual service, the load on any control position
varies as the number of times the various loads are
applied. Knowing the different loads and their duration,
it is possible to calculate one equivalent load that would
give the same number of cycles average life as the
various loads. No one load may be greater than the limit
load rating of the bearing. The equivalent load may be
calculated from the formula:
P = [Ki (Pi)3.6] 1/3.6
where P = Equivalent load Pounds or Newtons
Pi = Actual applied load Pounds or Newtons
Ki = Proportion of service time that Pi is applied
For example, suppose a particular application carries
a radial load of 500 lbs. for 15% of the total service
time, 1000 lbs. for 75% and 2000 lbs. for 10%. Then the
equivalent load on this bearing is:
P = [.15(500)3.6 + .75(1000)3.6 + .10(2000)3.6 ] 1/3.6
= 1208 lbs.
The tabulated values shown in various load rating
tables will give an average life of 10,000 complete
oscillatory cycles for two conditions of operation. Case I
values are for bearing capacities with the load fixed with
respect to the outer race. Case II values are for loads
fixed with respect to the inner race.
A Life Factor Chart is provided to determine bearing
capacity for an average life greater than 10,000 cycles
and is used with the load rating tables. The life factor
for the required average life is taken from the chart. The
Case I or Case II rating of the bearing is then multiplied by
this life factor. This product is the load which the bearing
can carry to give the required average life. For life
requirements of less than 10,000 cycles, we advise using
the 10,000 cycle rating. Beyond this point, the criteria
that determined this graph do not remain constant.
The proportionate amount of time that the various
service loads are carried by a bearing can best be
determined by the designer, who is familiar with the
type of aircraft under consideration. With accumulated
experience it is expected that shortcuts in using this
method of bearing selection will be developed for each
type of aircraft.

Example 2
For another case, keep this 1208 lb. equivalent load
and 2000 lb. maximum load and select a bearing which
would have a Case I average life requirement
of 690,000 cycles. The Life Factor to give this life
is .309 or the Case I range must exceed 3910 (from
1208/.309). A KP5 or KP10A are the smallest bearing
sizes in these series to satisfy this condition.

RATED RADIAL CAPACITIES


The rated radial capacities for complete rotation
given in this catalog are based on AFBMA Standard
Section 9, Method of Evaluating Load Ratings for Ball
Bearings. The Life Basis is for 2500 hours average life
at 100,300 and 500 rpm. For other Life Basis and/or
speed conditions, consult RBC Aerospace Engineering.

ENGINEERING FOR AIRFRAME CONTROL AND BALL BEARING ROD ENDS

When radial load, thrust load and moment load are


encountered in combination (all three or any two) on a
single bearing mounting, an equivalent thrust limit load
is obtained and the customer can select an airframe
bearing of a size having a thrust limit rating exceeding
the equivalent thrust load. This is for static conditions
and disregards life requirements under oscillation.
The formula for an individual size of bearing follows
here and footnotes under various series tables give
approximations for sizes within a series with applicable
approximate ratios of ratings given:
Equiv. thrust load =
Thrust limit load rating
x Radial load
Radial limit load rating
+ Thrust load + Moment constant
x Moment in inch pounds
As an example on a KP6A bearing
Equiv. thrust load = (1100/2500) x Radial load
+ Thrust load + 7.68 x Moment
Note that it is necessary to be dealing with a certain
bearing size especially when moment is involved, and trial
sizes are chosen having pure moment ratings larger
than moment load involved to leave the capacity to be
absorbed by radial and thrust components. If moment
load is a big part of the loading, then it is necessary to
select a bearing from a series having good moment
ratings. When only radial and thrust loads are present, the
problem is not so involved as any certain series has a
fairly constant ratio of radial and thrust limit load ratings.

Problem 1
We want to figure the equivalent thrust load and
the safety factor on a KP10 (single row) bearing in an
application where the radial load imposed is 4000 lbs.,
the thrust load is 200 lbs., and the overturning moment
load is 425 in. lbs.

ENGINEERING FOR AIRFRAME CONTROL AND BALL BEARING ROD ENDS

TORQUE
Torque in ball bearings can be conveniently
classified under two headings: inherent torque and
induced torque.
AIRFRAME CONTROL
& BALL BEARING
ROD ENDS

Inherent Torque
The first, inherent torque, is the cumulative effect of
the following factors:
Geometry: Surface finish of mating parts, deviations
from roundness in the races, ball sphericity, and
tolerances between functional surfaces.
Internal fit-up: Race curvatures, contact angle,
radial internal clearance, and number of balls.
Bearing type: Full complement, radial or angular
contact, type of retainer, shields, and seals, if any.
Lubricant: Type and quantity.
The term inherent torque is used to emphasize the
nature of the torque due to the above causes. While the
amount of torque in inch-ounces or gram-centimeters
varies according to the degree of precision exercised in
the manufacture of a bearing, a certain mean value is
attained for each set of conditions, and that level of
torque cannot practically be further reduced. The actual
no-load, slow-speed inherent torque is very small
compared with the torque induced by external causes
during operation. At best, inherent torque is a
comparative quality for bearing evaluation. Therefore, it
is often measured with only a few drops of oil in the
bearing. It is controlled almost entirely by the
manufacturer, rather than by the customer.

Induced Torque
The second category, induced torque, is the
cumulative effect of the following factors, all of which
are external in origin to the bearing:
Loads: Both the magnitude and direction of the loads.
Speeds: The variation of, and maximum rpm.
Fits: The shaft and housing fits, plus the alignment
of shaft and housing.
Temperature: The effect on fits and lubricant properties.
Contamination: Both foreign matter that enters the
bearing and by-products of lubricant breakdown
within the bearing.

The term Induced Torque as used herein denotes


torque resulting from the method of bearing operation
and its environment. With the exception of very lightly
loaded, slow-speed applications, induced torque far
exceeds inherent torque in a ball bearing, by a factor of
50 or more. The customer, therefore, has the final control
over how much torque the bearings he uses will exhibit.
Reduction of induced torque is primarily the customers
responsibility.

Design Criteria
The designer or engineer who strives to achieve the
lowest economical torque must begin this task before
placing the order. The bearing manufacturer can furnish
bearings with minimum inherent torque and the least
potential for induced torque only if a complete description
of the application is made available. Such description will
include the following:
Speeds: Maximum; normal; acceleration, if it is
rapid.
Loads: Radial, axial or moment loading; magnitude;
and relation to speed when possible.
Temperature: Minimum; maximum; normal operating;
duration at extremes; shut-down conditions if soakback is involved when the bearing is stationary; loads
during high temperatures.
Lubrication: Whether grease or oil is required;
if a circulating or splash-feed oil system is used,
accurate determination of the quantity of oil
available.
Materials: Specification of shaft and housing material
and configurations (i.e., wall thickness, hollow, solid or
splined shaft).
Environment: Specify if air, hot gases, fluids, dust,
mud, etc. If a foreign substance, either a liquid or
slurry, is present, indicate whether it is present
continuously or only as a spray or occasional
splashing.
Frequently, an inquiry for a ball bearing application
includes most of the above, but no drawing accompanies
the data. Both a drawing and a complete description as
outlined above are required to properly specify the
bearing to be used.

Shaft and Housing Fits

Loading

Once the bearings are ordered, the designer must


ensure that the mating components are consistent with
requirements. Housing and shaft fits must be held within
specified limits while maintaining close control on
roundness for these two dimensions. Interference fits
directly affect the internal clearance in ball bearings as
much as 50% to 80% of the interference translates into
reduced radial internal clearance, depending on the size
of the bearing involved. Paralleling this situation, unequal
heating of the inner and outer rings can have the same
effect. Frequently, both conditions exist simultaneously; a
press fit on the shaft, and higher shaft temperatures than
housing temperatures. The result can be an increase in
bearing torque or even complete failure due to damage
caused by internal interference. Heat soak-back can also
damage bearings due to thermal expansion occurring
while the bearing is not rotating.

Torque in bearings increases directly as a function


of load: either radial, axial, or a combination of the two.
When loads are substantial, the designer should allow
for the largest bearing possible, consistent with overall
requirements early in the design stage. High torque due
to loading cannot be significantly reduced for a given
size bearing.

Effect of Low Temperature


Very low temperature conditions can also cause torque
to increase sharply. The increase results from a change in
housing fits due to thermal contraction and is very
pronounced with dissimilar metals such as aluminum
housings and steel bearings. There is also a marked
increase in lubricant viscosity, particularly with greases.
An example is found in aircraft control bearings, which are
frequently mounted in aluminum housings and sealed with
a quantity of grease enclosed. During ground handling and
take-off, there is no detrimental torque in the bearings.
However, during extended cruise at altitudes where the air
temperature drops to -65F (-54C) or lower, the bearing
may be literally frozen, due to interference and/or stiffened
lubricant. After returning to more normal temperatures, the
bearing may operate satisfactorily if only the stiff grease
caused it to freeze; however, if the housing interference
was excessive, and the races are brinnelled, subsequent
operation will be rough and noisy.

Misalignment
Misalignment of the rotating member and the housing
can cause high torque by applying a preload as the balls
travel from one side of the race to the other during each
revolution of the bearing. At sustained speeds, there is
also a temperature rise, and the possibility of exceeding
the load capacity of the lubricant. This condition, if selfsustaining, rapidly worsens to the point of bearing failure.

Seals
In applications where low speeds or oscillation are
involved and where seals are needed to protect the
bearing and retain lubricant, it is essential that information
relative to contaminants be included with the description
of the application. A variety of materials is available for
seals; however, each one is unique in its ability to resist
chemical attack by lubricants, hydraulic fluids, etc., and
in its physical characteristics such as flexibility. For a
particular condition of temperature, lubricant, and outside
contamination, there is usually only one specific seal
material that will best satisfy all requirements. The
standard seal material used in the RBC airframe control
and rod end bearings is PTFE.

STARTING TORQUE LEVELS


Proper interpretation of the graph on page 16 on
starting torque levels under radial loads requires that the
user keep the following limitations in mind. The values
were obtained under laboratory conditions with controlled
fits, pure radial loading, and at room temperature.
Therefore, the torque values are probably lower than
those expected in airframe installations. The numerous
other external factors that contribute to induced torque,
as previously discussed, are not accounted for in the
chart. For example, the effect of low temperature on
starting torque due to grease stiffness varies widely. A
KP3A bearing may show a 100% increase in starting
torque at -65F (-54C), whereas a KP47B may show
only about 10% greater torque, when both bearings are
radially loaded to 75% of their rated capacity. Interference
fits in housings, differential thermal expansion and
contraction of steel bearings and aluminum housings,
thrust loads, moment loads, etc., will all add significantly
to the chart values for starting torque.
For applications in which low torque is
critical, consult RBC Aerospace Engineering for
recommendations, giving full particulars of the
application.

SHAFT AND HOUSING FITS FOR AIRFRAME BEARINGS

Minimum and Maximum Fits


The minimum and maximum press fits shown in the
following tables represent a compromise condition.
Actually, the optimum press fit is approximately .0005 in.,
.013mm for steel and approximately .0007 in., .018mm
for aluminum or magnesium. However, since the bearing
outside diameter tolerance is .0005 in., .013mm and a
housing bore tolerance of .0005 in., 013mm is the least
which can be maintained by usual manufacturing practice,
a total possible range of fit of .0010 in., .025mm results.
The average outside diameter pressed into the average
housing bore results in a press fit range of approximately
.0006 in., .015mm; namely, for steel .0002 in. - .0008 in.,
.005mm - .020mm and for aluminum or magnesium
.0005 in. - .0010 in., .010mm - .025mm. Housing bores
should not be allowed to run consistently to the low side of
the tolerance, as this will obviously increase the average
interference and raise the percentage of extreme fits.

Radial Clearance
In all but specially assembled aircraft bearings, a
small amount (less than .0010 in., .025mm) of radial
clearance is provided between balls and races. When
the outer ring is press-fitted into a housing, a portion of

the interference is absorbed by contraction of the outer


ring, the balance by the expansion of the housing the
proportions, depending on the relative sections, and the
modulus of elasticity of the material.
When the press fit becomes too heavy, the initial radial
clearance in the bearing may be removed, resulting in a
radially preloaded bearing. Such preloading lessens the
capacity of the bearing for applied loads. Hence,
excessive press fits should be carefully avoided.

AIRFRAME CONTROL
& BALL BEARING
ROD ENDS

It is essential for proper operation that small, heavily


loaded bearings in oscillating service be mounted in
housings with a light, but positive, interference (press)
fit. Staking or spinning of the housing over the outer
ring chamfer is recommended to secure the bearing
axially. In some applications involving considerable
thrust load, a housing shoulder is desirable.

Mean Fits (Tight or Loose)


The expected mean fits listed in the tables result when
bearings are mounted on shafts and in housings having
the recommended diameters. In the manufacture of ball
bearings, most of the bores and outside diameters are
near the mean diameter of the tolerance. Similarly, the
majority of shafts and housings are held to diameters near
the mean of the recommended tolerances. Experience has
shown that when standard bearings are mounted on
shafts and in housings, the diameters of which are held to
recommended tolerances, 85% to 90% of the assemblies
will be close to the mean expected fits, and less than 2%
will be near the extremes for tightness and looseness.
Although selective assembly is not feasible in most
aircraft plants, when extreme fits are encountered, as
evidenced by pronounced drag in bearing rotation after
mounting, it is recommended that the bearing be
removed and fitted to a slightly larger housing bore.
This is seldom necessary with rigid type bearings, but
may be desirable with self-aligning bearings.

thru-hardened 52100 or
CRES 440C to accommodate
the applications need. The
external ring surfaces are
plated with cadmium or
zinc nickel to provide
protection from galvanic
corrosion.

Airframe Ball bearings are


designed with a full complement
of balls to maximize load
carrying capacity.

Lubrication
Bearings are 80 to 100% filled
with greases in compliance
with MIL-PRF-81322,
MIL-PRF-23827, or
Boeings BMS3-33.

Seals and Retaining Caps


These bearings are equipped
with PTFE seals and held in
place by corrosion resistance
retaining caps.

FEATURED MATERIAL AEROCRES

AeroCres Fracture-tough Airframe Products


Fracture-tough airframe
products enhance corrosion
resistance

BALL BEARING
ROD ENDS

For many years, corrosion has been


a significant problem with bearings
used in the aircraft industry. While
CRES 440C has been used
successfully in many aircraft
applications, it is not suitable for
the demands of rod end banjos
or track roller studs. These two
bearing components require a full
Rc 58 hardness in the raceway
area and a softer, tougher material
elsewhere. This is not attainable
with CRES 440C. RBCs AeroCres
products provide the unique
solution that meets these dual
material requirements.
We have selected a specialized
carburized stainless steel, and have
developed and optimized the heat
treatment process that resulted in
a homogeneous microstructure
delivering both corrosion protection
and core fracture toughness.
Currently, this new material is being
used for many structural bearing
components such as rod end
banjos, track roller studs, and
outer rings. Fracture toughness,
corrosion resistance, and long
fatigue life are critical requirements
for these components.

AeroCres fracture-tough airframe products offer enhanced


corrosion resistance in harsh operating environments.

Benefits

Applications

Excellent fracture toughness


superior to CRES 440C.
Proven corrosion resistance
similar to CRES 440C.
Compressive residual stresses
in carburized case.
Lower starting torque after
extended exposure to a neutral
salt solution (ASTM-G44).
58

Meets or exceeds government


requirements for fatigue and
static testing per AS 39901.
Longer bearing life resisting
premature corrosion.

Bearings located in exposed


corrosive positions of aircraft
such as:
Landing gear and doors
Leading and trailing edges
Engine controls
Tail sections

ENGINEERING FOR AIRFRAME CONTROL NEEDLE ROLLER BEARINGS

Type NCC bearings are designed primarily to carry moderate


loads under oscillation or slow rotation. This type of bearing
should not be used in applications that require thrust capability.
The NCC bearings are the minimal cross-section available in
standard airframe needle bearings.
Type NCC bearings must be supported by housings and
mounted on high strength shafts if their inherent load ratings
are to be realized. Initial alignment must be good and operating
deflections must be minimal to ensure uniform load distribution
along the length of the rolling elements.
Types NBE and NBK bearings are also used primarily for
heavy static loads, and will also handle oscillation or slow
rotation. They are designed to accommodate only minor
locational thrust loads. Types NBE and NBK bearings, like type
NBC, must be supported by housings and mounted on high
strength shafts if their inherent load ratings are to be realized.
Types NBE and NBK bearings are of larger cross-section
than the type NBC, and, if properly mounted, will tolerate
misalignment up to 5. They are not designed to self-align
under heavy loads. If alignment must be accommodated while
the bearings are highly loaded, the torque required to overcome
the friction at the spherical surfaces may overload the rolling
elements.
Types HRSC and HRS bearings are designed for use as track
rollers to carry moderate rolling loads. The bearings have an
integral stud, which eliminates the need for a separate
mounting bolt.
Types HRSC and HRS are to be cantilever mounted. Under
load, the supporting member, the bearing stud, and the track
may deflect to produce misalignment between the bearing and
the track. These deflections should be carefully balanced to
minimize the effective misalignment, and improve the load
distribution. Where misalignment is a factor, preference should
be given to type HRSC, which has a crowned outer ring.

AIRFRAME CONTROL
NEEDLE ROLLER
BEARINGS

BEARING TYPE SELECTION


Types ATF and NBF bearings are designed for use as track
rollers to withstand heavy rolling loads. If their full radial
capacity is to be realized, they should be mounted on high
strength bolts. Also, the initial alignment between the bearing
centerline and the surface of the track should be very good. To
prevent deflections under load that would cause poor load
distribution along the length of the rolling elements, the bearing
should be straddle-mounted in a rigid housing, and the track
should be rigidly supported.
Types ATF and NBF bearings are sometimes cantilever
mounted on high strength bolts. In this case, the deflection of
the supporting member, the mounting bolt and the track should
be balanced as carefully as possible to improve the load
distribution. If this cannot be accomplished, the track should be
crowned, or preference should be given to the type ATF which
has a crowned outer ring.
Types ATL and NBL bearings are intended to carry rolling
loads which are greater than those for which types ATF and
NBF are designed. Since types ATL and NBL bearings are quite
long, it is important to mount them on high strength shafts or
bolts. The alignment between the bearing axis and the track is
even more critical than with types ATF and NBF. Types ATL and
NBL bearings must be straddle-mounted.
Types ATF and ATL bearings have seal/thrust washers
which increase the life in case the bearings are infrequently
relubricated.
Type NBC bearings are designed primarily to carry heavy
static loads, or moderate loads under oscillation or slow
rotation. This type of bearing can tolerate incidental thrust loads
only through the outer ring when the retaining washers are
properly backed up.
Type NBC bearings must be supported by housings and
mounted on high strength shafts if their inherent load ratings
are to be realized. Initial alignment must be good and operating
deflections must be minimized to ensure uniform load
distribution along the length of the rolling elements.

AIRFRAME CONTROL
NEEDLE ROLLER
BEARINGS

ENGINEERING FOR AIRFRAME CONTROL NEEDLE ROLLER BEARINGS

CONSTRUCTION
All airframe needle roller bearings incorporate materials,
protective finishes, and relubrication facilities required for
airframe service.
MATERIALS
The outer rings, inner rings, and self-aligning rings are made
of high carbon chrome steel, hardened, and precision ground.
Studs are made of bearing quality steel, heat treated to 60
HRC minimum in the raceway area and 36-44 HRC in the shank
and thread areas.
The rollers are made of high carbon chrome steel, through
hardened, precision ground, and lapped.
The retaining washers are made of high carbon steel, and
hardened. The bearing components may also be available in a
variety of stainless steels. These specialty steels have been
developed for use in extremely corrosive environments and may
be available upon request.
The NCC series thin shell is made from low carbon steel that
is case hardened. The retaining washers are soft low carbon
steel.

RELUBRICATION FEATURES
The inner rings of types ATF, ATL, NBF, NCC, and NBL
bearings are provided with relubrication grooves and holes.
Relubrication features are omitted from the outer rings since
they would be undesirable in track roller bearings or thin shells.
Types HRSC and HRS can be provided with lubrication
fittings in the flanged end or threaded end of the stud, or with
no relubrication provision.
Grooves are provided in the bore and outside diameters of
the larger types NBC, NBE, and NBK bearings with drilled holes
leading to the needle roller complement to allow relubrication
through the housing or the shaft. The smaller sizes, as noted in
the tabular pages, do not have relubrication grooves and holes
in their inner rings since the mounting shafts would be
considerably weakened by the required drilled lubrication holes.
The right is reserved to change material specifications or to
revise designs without notice.
PROTECTIVE FINISHES
Outer rings of types ATF, ATL, NBF, NBL, HRSC, and HRS
bearings, which are subjected to heavy rolling loads, may be
chrome plated on the exposed surfaces for corrosion protection.
The other external surfaces of the bearings, except the inner
ring bore, (where applicable) are cadmium or zinc-nickel plated.
Types NBC, NCC, NBE, and NBK bearings are cadmium or
zinc-nickel plated on all external surfaces, except the bore
of the inner ring.

LOAD RATINGS
The limit load ratings listed in this catalog are the maximum
radial loads that can be applied without impairing the
subsequent function of the bearing in airframe applications.
The ultimate (static fracture) load ratings are not less than
1.5 times the limit load rating.
For types ATF, ATL, NBF, and NBL bearings, the ultimate load
rating assumes an unsupported outer ring. Therefore, the limit
load ratings listed on the tabular pages correspond to 2/3 of the
limit load ratings of the fully supported bearing, or 4/9 ASC. The
ultimate (static fracture) load ratings are not less than 1.5
times the limit load rating (2/3 ASC).
In addition to heavy static radial loads, types ATF, ATL, NBF,
and NBL bearings must withstand heavy rolling loads under
slow rotation. The capacity as a track roller is the load the
bearing will carry as a track roller for an L10 life of 20,000
revolutions. The capacity as a track roller is based on 1/3
Aircraft Static Capacity (ASC).

To calculate the L10 life, in revolutions, of a type ATF, ATL,


NBF, and NBL bearing, the following formula should be used:

20000

TL =
Ti

( )
Pi
CTR

+ t i

10/3

( )
pi
CTR

Where TL = total life (L10)


CTR = capacity as a track roller
Pi = loads greater than CTR
p i = loads less than CTR
Ti = fraction of total revolutions at load Pi
t i = fraction of total revolutions at load pi
Under no circumstances should the applied load exceed the
limit load rating.

ENGINEERING FOR AIRFRAME CONTROL NEEDLE ROLLER BEARINGS

TRACK CAPACITY
When applying types ATF, ATL, NBF, NBL, HRS, and HRSC
track roller bearings, the compressive strength of the track
material is often the critical design factor for the application.
Where listed, the track capacities are based on a track
hardness equivalent to 40 HRC. For other hardness values
multiply the track capacity listed on the tabular pages by the
appropriate factor selected from Table 1.
When using track materials with high hardness, it must be
remembered that the load applied to a bearing should not
exceed the limit load for that bearing.

BEARINGS

In the case of types NBC, NCC, NBE, and NBK bearings, the
ultimate load ratings correspond to the Aircraft Static Capacity.
The limit load rating listed is 2/3 of the ultimate load rating.
Types NBC, NCC, NBE, and NBK bearings are generally
applied where they carry only moderate loads while oscillating
or rotating slowly, but they are expected to carry heavy static
radial loads or shock loads. For this reason the basic (dynamic)
load ratings are not listed. If the basic load ratings are required
for specific bearings, please consult the RBC Aerospace
Engineering Department.
If types NBE and NBK bearings are required to carry more
than light loads while self-aligning, the torque required to
overcome the friction between the spherical surfaces may add
substantially to the radial loads on the rolling elements. Under
such circumstances, please consult the RBC Aerospace
Engineering Department.
Type HRS and HRSC track roller bearings have heat treated
studs as such working loads are not limited by stud strength.
The limit load ratings listed on the tabular pages correspond to
2/3 of ASC. The ultimate (static fracture) load ratings are not
less than 1.5 times the limit load rating (ASC). The capacity as a
track roller for 20,000 revolutions L10 life is 1/3 ASC.

ENGINEERING FOR AIRFRAME CONTROL NEEDLE ROLLER BEARINGS

SPEED
Airframe needle roller bearings are intended for use in low
speed, high load applications. The bearing speed should not
exceed 100 RPM. Speeds in excess of 100 RPM will greatly
reduce the bearing life.

TEMPERATURE
The unsealed airframe needle bearings listed herein can be
operated at temperatures up to 400F (200C) if a suitable
lubricant is used. Subjecting these bearings to higher
temperatures will result in a loss of capacity, which depends
upon the length of time that the bearings are exposed to the
higher temperature. Temperature differential between bearing
parts should be watched to prevent take-up of internal
clearance due to differential expansion.
The operating temperature of the sealed bearings is limited
by the seal material and should not exceed 250F (120C).
The data herein permit tentative bearing selection, but before
the application is finalized, please consult the RBC Aerospace
Engineering Department.

LUBRICATION
The most common greases used in aircraft track roller
and cam follower applications are MIL-PRF-23827 TYPE 1 and
MIL-PRF-81322 grease. Either grease is available for catalog
items. If a specific grease is preferred, then specify it upon
placing the order.

SPECIAL BEARINGS
RBC supplies airframe bearings, in addition to types ATF and
ATL, which are sealed to help retain lubricants and exclude
foreign matter. For superior performance, the sealing
arrangement has been designed to be capable of withstanding
a pressure of 400 bar. We also supply bearings with special
configurations, materials, protective finishes, tolerance, and
lubricants. Please consult the RBC Aerospace Engineering

ENGINEERING FOR AIRFRAME CONTROL NEEDLE ROLLER BEARINGS

FLAP TRACK
Airframe needle roller bearings serve where weight and space are vital
factors. They give high capacity anti-friction performance on flap tracks of
large high-speed, high-altitude aircraft.

AIRFRAME CONTROL
NEEDLE ROLLER
BEARINGS

CANOPY
The high capacity and anti-friction characteristics of
airframe needle roller bearings are ideal for canopy lock
rolls where failure to operate may be fatal.

BELL CRANK
The small size and light weight of the airframe needle roller
bearing permits reduction in material required in surrounding parts.
The high capacity offers superior anti-friction operation under
severe service conditions.

LANDING GEAR
The high static capacity of the airframe needle roller
bearing is an important factor in meeting the rugged
impact loads found in aircraft landing gears.
Small size and simple lubrication contribute to lighter
assemblies and long service life.

AIRFRAME CONTROL NEEDLE ROLLER BEARINGS ATF, ATL

CONSTRUCTION

DIMENSIONS

This is a non-separable unit, comprising an inner ring,


needle rollers, retaining washers, seal/thrust washers,
and an extra-thick outer ring to withstand heavy rolling
loads. The end washers are fastened to the inner ring.
Type ATF has a single row of rollers and type ATL has
two rows of rollers. The outer ring of type ATF bearing is
crowned.
The seals on the ATF and ATL bearings are located in
counterbores of the outer ring and seal against the O.D.
of the end washers, providing a good retention of
lubricant and exclusion of foreign material. Seal/thrust
washers, made of a self-lubricating resin material,
separate the steel thrust surfaces, extending the life of
lubricant and bearing.
Grooves and holes for relubrication are provided in
the inner ring only, since the outer ring must serve as a
roller. Type ATF has a groove in the bore of the outer ring
for storage of additional lubricant. For protection from
corrosion under heavy rolling loads, the O.D. of the
bearing is chrome plated. Other exposed surfaces, as
mounted, are cadmium or zinc-nickel plated. Inner rings
are oxided.

Types ATF and ATL are manufactured to inch nominal


dimensions. Metric dimensions shown are for the
convenience of the user, and the controlling dimensions are
in inches. Dimensions listed are for the finished bearing
after plating. The shaft diameter dimensions necessary to
mount these bearings properly are listed on the facing page.

AIRFRAME CONTROL NEEDLE ROLLER BEARINGS ATF, ATL

MOUNTING

LOAD RATINGS

Types ATF and ATL bearings are designed for heavy rolling
loads. The type ATF bearing is usually clevis mounted or cantilever
mounted on a high strength shaft or bolt. The type ATL bearing
must be straddle-mounted on a high strength shaft or bolt.
The end washers are fastened to the inner ring in a manner
only to maintain the integrity of the assembly while handling
and installing the bearing. Therefore, when mounted they should
be firmly backed up by washers or other clamping surfaces
that are flat and square with the shaft center line. To provide
sufficient washer support, the outside diameter of the clamping
surfaces should be at least as large as the minimum clamping
diameter (da) listed below.

Bearings are constructed to provide maximum


capacity under rolling loads.
The limit load ratings (also called allowable working
load ratings) of the bearings are listed below. The
ultimate load ratings are not less then 1.5 times the
limit load ratings. The ultimate load ratings correspond
to 23 of the Aircraft Static Capacity ratings.
Load ratings are given in pounds-force:
1 lbf = 0.454 kgf = 4.448 N
Before final bearing selection is made, please consult
the RBC Aerospace Engineering Department.

AIRFRAME CONTROL NEEDLE ROLLER BEARINGS NBF, NBL

CONSTRUCTION

DIMENSIONS

This is a non-separable unit, comprising an inner ring, needle


rollers, retaining washers and outer ring made extra-thick to
better withstand rolling loads. The end washers are fastened to
the inner ring. Type NBF has a single row of rollers, and type NBL
has two rows of rollers.
Lubrication grooves and holes are provided for relubrication
in the inner ring only, since the outer ring must serve as a roller.
For protection from corrosion under the heavy rolling loads,
the O.D. of the bearing is chrome plated. Other exposed
surfaces, as mounted, are cadmium plated,or zinc-nickel plated.

Dimensions listed below are for the finished


bearing after plating.
Bearings are made to ISO and U.S. Military
Specifications, and are constructed to have
maximum capacity under rolling loads.
The shaft diameter dimensions necessary to
mount these bearings properly are listed on the
facing page.

AIRFRAME CONTROL NEEDLE ROLLER BEARINGS NBF, NBL

MOUNTING

LOAD RATINGS

Types NBF and NBL bearings are designed


for heavy rolling loads. The type NBF bearing
is usually clevis mounted or cantilever
mounted on a high strength shaft or bolt. The
type NBL bearing must be straddle-mounted
on a high strength shaft or bolt.
The end washers are fastened to the inner
ring in a manner only to maintain the integrity
of the assembly, while handling and installing
the bearing. Therefore, when mounted they
should be firmly backed up by washers or
other clamping surfaces that are flat and
square with the shaft center line. To provide
sufficient washer support, the outside
diameter of the clamping surfaces should be
at least as large as the minimum clamping
diameter (da) listed below.

The limit load ratings (also called allowable working load ratings) of
the bearings are listed below. The ultimate load ratings are not less than
1.5 times the limit load ratings. The ultimate load ratings correspond to
2/3 of the Aircraft Static Capacity ratings.
The track capacity ratings listed below are based on a track
hardness equivalent to 40 HRC. For track capacity ratings for other
hardness values see the Engineering for Airframe Needle Roller
Bearings section of this catalog. It is important that the limit load
rating of the bearings not be exceeded.
Load ratings are given in pounds-force: 1 lbf = 0.454 kgf = 4.448 N
Before final bearing selection is made, please consult the RBC
Aerospace Engineering Department.

MOUNTING

LOAD RATINGS

The housing bore dimensions shown below are


applicable to bearings mounted in steel. These dimensions
should be decreased .0002 in. (.005mm) when aluminum
alloy housings are used.
The end washers are fastened to the inner ring in a
manner only to maintain the integrity of the assembly
while handling and installing the bearing. Therefore, when
mounted, they should be firmly backed up by washers or
other clamping surfaces that are flat and square with the
shaft center line. To provide sufficient washer support, the
outside diameter of the clamping surfaces should be
at least as large as the minimum clamping diameter (da)
listed below.
Tight range transitional fitting practice should not be
used for both the outer and the inner rings, since this may
cause excessive preloading of the bearing. If this type of
mounting becomes necessary, consult the RBC Aerospace
Engineering Department for specific recommendations.

The limit load ratings (also called allowable working


load ratings) of the bearings are listed below. The
ultimate load ratings are not less than 1.5 times the limit
load ratings. The ultimate load ratings correspond to the
Aircraft Static Capacity ratings.
Load ratings are given in pounds-force:
1 lbf = 0.454 kgf = 4.448 N
Before final bearing selection is made, please consult
the RBC Aerospace Engineering Department.

CONSTRUCTION

DIMENSIONS

This is a non-separable, self-aligning unit comprising an inner


ring, needle rollers, outer ring with spherical O.D., retaining
washers and housing ring with spherical I.D. The end washers
are fastened to the inner ring. Type NBE has a single row of
rollers, and type NBK has two rows of rollers.
Lubrication grooves and holes in the inner ring, outer ring and
housing ring are provided in the type NBK bearing. The type NBE
bearing is similarly designed, except groove and holes in the
inner ring are omitted.
The self-aligning bearing outer ring and its housing ring are a
matched assembly that must be kept together.
W
External surfaces, except the inner
ring bore, are cadmium or zinc-nickel
H
plated.

Dimensions listed are for the finished bearing


after plating.
Bearings are made to ISO and U.S. Military
Specifications, and are constructed to have low
radial clearance when mounted to minimize vibration
and backlash.
The shaft diameter and housing bore dimensions
necessary to mount these bearings properly are
listed on the facing page.

MOUNTING

LOAD RATINGS

The housing bore dimensions shown below are


applicable to bearings mounted in steel. These dimensions
should be decreased .0002 in. (.005mm) when aluminum
alloy housings are used.
The end washers are fastened to the inner ring in a
manner only to maintain the integrity of the assembly
while handling and installing the bearing. Therefore, when
mounted they should be firmly backed up by washers or
other clamping surfaces that are flat and square with the
shaft center line. To provide sufficient washer support, the
outside diameter of the clamping surfaces should be at
least as large as the minimum clamping diameter (da)
listed below. The maximum clamping diameter is also
given to assure that a misalignment of 5 can be
accommodated.

The limit load ratings (also called allowable working


load ratings) of the bearings are listed below. The ultimate load ratings are not less than 1.5 times the limit
load ratings. The ultimate load ratings correspond to the
Aircraft Static Capacity ratings.
When the application requires dynamic self-alignment,
additional bearing loads (due to the friction of dynamic
self-alignment) must be taken into account.
Load ratings are given in pounds-force:
1 lbf = 0.454 kgf = 4.448 N
Before final bearing selection is made, please consult
the RBC Aerospace Engineering Department.

CONSTRUCTION

DIMENSIONS

This is a non-separable unit comprising a DCtype needle bearing, inner race, and retaining
washers. The end washers are fastened to the
inner race.
Lubrication grooves and holes are provided in
the inner race for all bearings except the 3, 4, and
5 for relubrication purposes. The DC needle
bearing can be provided with an oil hole in its
outer shell. If so desired, please specify on order.
Exposed surfaces, as mounted, are cadmium
plated to meet military specifications.
These bearings must not be used as rollers.

Dimensions given below are for the finished bearing after


cadmium plating. Only the nominal bearing O.D. is given since the
bearing depends on the housing dimensions for its final sizing.
Bearings are made to AFMBA and military specifications and
are constructed to have low radial clearances when mounted, in
order to keep vibration and backlash in mechanisms to a
minimum.
Shaft diameter and housing bore dimensions necessary to
mount these bearings properly are given on the facing page.

MOUNTING

LOAD RATINGS

The housing bore dimensions shown below are for


mounting bearings in steel housings. These dimensions
should be decreased .001 in. (.025mm) or more for initial
trial if die-cast housings of low tensile strength are used.
End washers are fastened to bearings only to facilitate
handling and installation. They should be firmly backed up
by washers or other clamping surfaces that are flat and
square with the shaft center line. In order to provide
sufficient washer support, the outside diameter of the
clamping surfaces should be at least as large as the
minimum clamping diameters (da) given below.

The Aircraft Static Capacities shown below are obtained


by use of the formula:
15800 P.D. x l
P.D. is the bearing pitch diameter and l is the
effective length of the rollers. They are based on the
Aircraft Static Capacities of the DC needle bearings which
are components of the NCC bearings.
The allowable dynamic working load should be taken
as one-half of the Aircraft Static Capacity.
Load ratings are given in pounds-force:
1 lbf = 0.454 kgf = 4.448 N
Before final bearing selection is made, please consult

AIRFRAME CONTROL NEEDLE ROLLER BEARINGS HRS, HRSC

CONSTRUCTION

outer ring is identified by the prefix letters HRS. A track roller


with a crowned outer ring has a letter C added to the end
of the prefix code (i.e., HRSC).
Normally, the track rollers are prepackaged with a low
temperature aircraft grease meeting MIL-PRF-81322
specification, when specified.

RBC stud type airframe track rollers have been designed


for specific use on track type or cam-controlled equipment
when cantilever mounting is desired.
Each non-separable unit comprises an outer ring, a full
complement of needle rollers, stud, and washer. The O.D. of
the outer ring is chromium plated in accordance with the
AMS-QQ-C-320, Class 2 specifications to a minimum
thickness of .0004 in. All other exposed surfaces are
cadmium or zinc-nickel plated. The sealed track rollers have
seals made from a special plastic or acetal resin.
Track rollers are available with cylindrical or crowned
outer rings. Crowned track rollers reduce the effect of uneven
bearing loading resulting from deflection, bending, or
misalignment in mounting. A track roller with a cylindrical

combinations of length and type are possible for each track
roller size, almost every track roller ordered is a special
bearing. See note 3 below for thread specifications.

BEARING NUMBER
Bearing numbers for RBC Airframe HRSC and HRS track rollers are based on the
ABMA identification system. Each complete bearing number comprises three
sections of letter and numeral codes which indicate, in this order, basic type and
size, construction refinements, and grip length. The sections of the number are
contiguous and not separated by spaces or dashes. Designers should familiarize
themselves with the numbering system and use the proper sequence of letters and
numerals in print specifications and correspondence.
Section 1 : Basic Bearing Number The letters HRS and HRSC followed by size
designations (1C, 2C, etc.) relate to the dimensions given in the tabulation above.

84

Section 2: Construction Refinements Additional letters, which must appear in the


sequence below, indicate special optional features:
F lubricator in flanged end of stud.
T lubricator in threaded end of stud; cotter pin hole omitted. (Note: the HRS1C stud
is too small to permit lubrication through the threaded end.)
K stud slotted to receive an MS 27111 washer.
A no cotter pin hole.
R sealed.
Section 3: Grip Length Number A number indicating the grip length in increments
of 116 in. Tolerance on grip length is .016 in. The nominal stud length is the sum
of the nominal grip length and thread length (column L1).

MOUNTING

LOAD RATINGS

The bore diameter for the stud is listed in column db.


Other mounting requirements are track fillet radius (ra),
minimum overhang space (Ca) and minimum clamping
diameter (da). See footnotes 1 and 2 below for additional
requirements.

To utilize a track roller properly, three different


capacities must be considered: the capacity of
the material on which the track roller will roll (see Note 3),
the capacity of the bearing elements to carry
the load (see Note 4), and the capacity of the bearing
elements to withstand the maximum radial loads (see
Note 5).
Before final bearing selection is made please consult
the RBC Aerospace Engineering Department.

(1)

The maximum recommended clamping torque is based on lubricated threads. If threads are dry, the torque values listed may be doubled.
(2) The edge of the housing which supports the stud shank should be as sharp as possible, without burrs, and square with the stud centerline.
(3) Track capacity is critical with respect to bearing rolling capacity. Increase in track hardness will increase track capacity. Never exceed bearing capacity as a track roller under dynamic conditions.
(4) The highest load that can be applied to a bearing for a life of 20,000 revolutions, L10.
(5) The limit load is the maximum radial load which can be applied to a bearing without impairing the subsequent functioning of the bearing in airframe applications. To realize this rating fully, compensation must be provided
for stud deflection in order to assure full track contact under load. The static fracture load (Aircraft Static Capacity) is not less than 1.5 times the limit load rating.

FEATURED MATERIAL AEROCRES

AeroCres Fracture-tough Airframe Products


Fracture-tough airframe
products enhance corrosion
resistance
For many years, corrosion has been
a significant problem with bearings
used in the aircraft industry. While
CRES 440C has been used
successfully in many aircraft
applications, it is not suitable for
the demands of rod end banjos
or track roller studs. These two
bearing components require a full
Rc 58 hardness in the raceway
area and a softer, tougher material
elsewhere. This is not attainable
with CRES 440C. RBCs AeroCres
products provide the unique
solution that meets these dual
material requirements.

AIRFRAME CONTROL
NEEDLE ROLLER
BEARINGS

We have selected a specialized


carburized stainless steel, and have
developed and optimized the heat
treatment process that resulted in
a homogeneous microstructure
delivering both corrosion protection
and core fracture toughness.
Currently, this new material is being
used for many structural bearing
components such as rod end
banjos, track roller studs, and
outer rings. Fracture toughness,
corrosion resistance, and long
fatigue life are critical requirements
for these components.

AeroCres fracture-tough airframe products offer enhanced


corrosion resistance in harsh operating environments.

Benefits

Applications

Excellent fracture toughness


superior to CRES 440C.
Proven corrosion resistance
similar to CRES 440C.
Compressive residual stresses
in carburized case.
Lower starting torque after
extended exposure to a neutral
salt solution (ASTM-G44).
86

Meets or exceeds government


requirements for fatigue and
static testing per AS 39901.
Longer bearing life resisting
premature corrosion.

corrosive positions of aircraft
such as:
Landing gear and doors
Leading and trailing edges

THIN SECTION BALL BEARING


ENGINEERING DATA
The methods, equations, and technical data
presented in this section allow the user to select the
correct bearings and estimate their performance for a
wide range of applications. For applications with severe
or unusual operating conditions, RBC is prepared to
provide an in-depth analysis and recommend the most
suitable bearing arrangement.
Where standard bearings cannot be used, RBC can
meet the application requirements with a special
bearing design specifically tailored for optimum
performance. Questions concerning information in this
section should be directed to the appropriate RBC
Aerospace Bearings sales engineer.

The rating life, L10, is a statistical measure of the life


which 90% of a large group of apparently identical ball
bearings will achieve or exceed. For a single bearing,
L10 also refers to the life associated with 90%
reliability. Median life, L50, is the life that 50% of the
group of ball bearings will achieve or exceed. Median
life is approximately five times the rating life.
The relationship between rating life, load rating, and
load is:
L10 = (C/P)3 with L10 = rating life (106 rev)
C = basic dynamic radial load rating (lbf)
P = equivalent radial load (lbf)
To obtain the rating life in hours, use:
L10 hrs = 16667/N * (C/P)3 with N = speed (rpm)

Capacity and Fatigue Life of Ball Bearings


The equivalent radial load is defined as:
Fr = radial load (lbf)
P = XFr + YFa with
Fa = axial load (lbf)
X - see below
Y - see below

Radial Contact Bearing Calculations


For radial contact bearings calculate P with
X = 1 and Y = 0. Then recalculate P with
X = 0.56 and Y = (see chart below).
Use the larger value of P to determine L10 life.

The basic dynamic radial load rating, C, or dynamic


capacity, for a ball bearing is the calculated, constant
radial load at which 90% of a group of apparently
identical bearings with stationary outer rings can
statistically endure 106 revolutions of the inner ring.
ANSI/ABMA Standard 9 with correction factors for race
curvatures was used to calculate the catalog ratings.
The dynamic thrust and dynamic moment load
ratings are also shown in the product tables. The
ratings shown are a guide for the maximum loads
under which these bearings should be operated with
either pure thrust or pure moment loading. Thrust
ratings are 2.5 to 3.0 times the radial ratings
depending on the bearing type and cross-section.
These load ratings are not additive. For combined radial
and thrust loads, an equivalent radial load is to be
calculated.
The basic static load rating, Co, or static capacity,
is that uniformly distributed load, which produces a
maximum theoretical contact stress of 609,000 psi. At
this contact stress, permanent deformation of ball and
raceway occurs. This deformation is approximately
.0001% of the ball diameter.

Angular or 4-Point Contact Bearing


Calculations*

Material Factor a2

For angular contact and 4-point contact bearings


calculate P with X = 1.0 and Y = 0. Then recalculate P
with X = 0.39 and Y = 0.76. Use the larger value of P to
determine L10 life.
The equations are valid in the range of
approximately 100 hrs to 100,000 hrs of life. Extreme
loads or speeds may result in a shorter life; while in
less demanding applications, metal fatigue may never
affect bearing service life.
*Capacity and fatigue life information is based on ANSI/ABMA Standard 9-1990 published by:

additional factors to estimate the fatigue life L n.
Ln = a1 * a2 * a3 * L10hrs

The application factor a3 is equal to 1.0 for most


applications. Unusual or extreme conditions in certain
applications such as low speed, shock loading,
vibration, and extreme temperature may lower the
application factor to 0.50. Contact your RBC Aerospace
Sales Engineer for help in determining this factor for
special applications.

Load and Speed Limitations

Reliability Factor a1
Reliability is the percentage of a group of apparently
identical ball bearings that is expected to attain or
exceed a specified life. For an individual bearing it is
the probability that the bearing will attain or exceed a
specified life. Typical bearing fatigue life is calculated
for 90% reliability. The life adjustment factors for other
reliability numbers are shown below.

THIN SECTION

The load ratings shown in the product tables are not


additive. For combined simultaneous loading, an
equivalent radial or thrust load must be considered. In
general, C-Type bearings are designed for radial loading
applications; moderate thrust and/or moment loading
may be applied in combination with radial loading. For
thrust loading applications use the A-Type bearing; any
radial loading should only be applied in combination
with thrust loading. X-Type bearings are primarily for
reversing thrust and moment loading, pure radial
loading should not be applied.
The limiting speeds shown in the product tables are
based on standard lubrication. The unsealed bearing
speeds are calculated assuming the bearings are
lubricated with MIL-PRF-8085. Limiting speeds for
sealed bearings are calculated assuming the bearings
are lubricated with MIL-PRF-23827 grease. If bearings
are lubricated with alternate oils or greases, new
limiting speeds must be calculated, see page 95.

ENGINEERING FOR THIN SECTION BALL BEARINGS

OPERATING CONDITIONS
Lubrication
Lubricants serve a number of very important
purposes in ball bearings, including:
protecting bearing surfaces from corrosion
reducing rolling and sliding friction
preventing metal-to-metal contact between balls
and raceway
providing a barrier against external contaminants
(grease)
removing heat (oil)
Lack of lubrication or inadequate lubrication is the
most common cause of bearing failure.
Standard RBC thin section ball bearings are lubricated
with either oil or grease. The unsealed bearings, the K
series, are thoroughly coated in MIL-PRF-8085 oil and
drained of excess. Sealed bearings are lubricated with
MIL-PRF-23827 grease. The external surfaces of sealed
bearings are lightly coated with the same grease for
corrosion resistance. Additional lubricants are also
available. An RBC Aerospace Sales Engineer can help
select the appropriate lubricant for special applications.

Temperature
Standard RBC thin section ball bearings can operate
at temperatures from -65F to +250F. Temperatures up
to 350F can be reached if the bearings are temperature
stabilized. By the use of special materials RBC can
provide bearings for operation to 900F. Contact the
RBC Aerospace Bearings sales engineer for recommendations on bearings operating above 250F.

The k values shown give the maximum speeds at


which a typical thin section ball bearing can operate. It
is recommended that operating speeds of large
diameter bearings in a given series be reduced up to
40% of the calculated rating to avoid high bearing
temperatures. Speed ratings can also be impacted by
load conditions, lubrication, alignment, and ambient
temperature. All of these factors must be considered
when designing thin section ball bearings into your
application.

DUPLEX PAIRS AND AXIAL PRE-LOADING


Duplex Pairs
Duplex bearings are a pair of angular contact RBC
thin section ball bearings specially ground for use as a
matched set. A duplexed pair can be used to provide
accurate shaft location, to increase capacity or to
increase stiffness of the bearing assembly. A duplex
pair of RBC thin section ball bearings is ground so that
when mounted using recommended fits, there will be
no internal clearance in the bearings. There are three
basic mounting methods to accommodate different
loading requirements:
Back-to-Back (DB), B-Type
Face-to-Face (DF), F-Type
Tandem (DT), T-Type
Back-to-Back, DB
B-Type

The limiting speed of a bearing is dependent upon a


number of different factors including bearing size,
bearing type, ball separator design, lubrication and
loading. The limiting speeds for the bearings shown in
this catalog are determined using the following:

PRELOAD

When there is negative radial play (diametral preload) there is interference rather than clearance
between the balls and the races. As the interference
increases, the friction, stiffness and torque also
increase. RBC thin section ball bearings can be
manufactured with customer specified diametral preload or clearance. Consult an RBC Aerospace Bearings
sales engineer for design assistance.

Radial and Axial Runout


Tandem, DT
T-Type

Radial runout of RBC thin section ball bearings is a


measurement of the thickness variation of the bearing
rings. The outer ring is measured from the ball path to
the outer diameter of the ring, the inner ring is measured
from the ball path to the bore. Radial runout is defined as
the wall thickness variation of the rotating ring.
Axial runout is measured from the ball path to the
face of the bearing rings. The variation in thickness
measured is the axial runout.

Axial Pre-loading
Standard duplex bearings are ground so that there
will be a light axial pre-load induced on the bearing at
nominal conditions. In some applications increased
bearing stiffness may be required. In these cases the
duplex grinding can be done such that a heavier axial
load is induced in the mounted bearing. This load can
be increased or decreased to meet the requirements of
a particular application. Consult an RBC Aerospace
Bearings sales engineer for special requirements.

RBC thin section ball bearings are available in four


precision grades. RBC precision classes 0, 3, 4, and 6
correspond to ABMA ABEC grades 1F, 3F, 5F, and 7F
respectively. The tolerances for the bearing bores, outer
diameters, radial runouts, axial runouts, and radial plays
are shown in the Tolerance Tables on pages 102 104.

Proper shaft and housing fits are critical to the


successful operation of a thin section ball bearing.
The internal clearance of the bearing will be reduced
proportionally by an interference fit. In addition, the
roundness of the shaft and housing will directly affect
the roundness of the inner and outer ring raceways.
For most applications, the inner ring is rotating and
the load is stationary with respect to the outer ring.
In this circumstance, a light press fit onto the shaft is
recommended. The recommended shaft and housing fits
are shown in the Tolerance Tables on pages 102 104.

ENGINEERING FOR THIN SECTION BALL BEARINGS

MOUNTING ARRANGEMENTS

Reversing Loads

When selecting a mounting arrangement for RBC


thin section ball bearings, you must first consider the
loading condition. A duplex pair of angular contact
bearings may be used for combined loading, moment
loading, or heavy thrust loading. Combination A and
C-Type, A and X-Type, or C and X-Type bearings are
common mounting arrangements. Two X-Type bearings
should never be mounted on the same shaft. There may
be many different bearing arrangements for carrying
the same load. Some typical mounting arrangements
are shown below.

The duplex pair of A-Type bearings offers several


configurations. For reversing loads, either back-to-back,
B-Type, or face-to-face, F-Type, should be used. The
F-Type mounting method demonstrates reversing thrust
load. Combined radial and thrust loads are shown on
the B-Type configuration. Both of these methods can be
used for heavy radial loads, combined thrust, and radial
loads, or moment loads.

Heavy Radial Loads


The C-Type bearing is designed primarily for heavy
radial loads. Two bearings can be installed on the same
shaft as shown. By axially fixing one bearing and
allowing the other to float, this configuration allows
differential expansion between the housing and shaft,
such as caused by temperature difference, without
adding axial stress to the bearings. Although the C-Type
bearing is designed for radial loads, they can withstand
moderate thrust, moment, and reversing loads.

Heavy Combined Loading


For heavy combined loading, other special mounting
arrangements may be employed. As shown in the top
drawing, a duplex pair of A-Type bearings can be used
with a floating C-Type bearing. In this configuration, the
A-Type bearings will carry the thrust load and part of the
radial load while the C-Type carries only radial load. An
X-Type bearing can replace the duplex pair of A-Type
bearings to carry lower thrust loads as shown in the
second drawing.

CUSTOM FEATURES

Radial Play

RBC manufactures many custom bearings designed to


optimize bearing performance for specific applications.
Special features include changes in radial play,
lubricants, materials, pre-loading and design. Contact an
RBC Aerospace Bearings sales engineer for your custom
bearing needs.
There are many design options available to solve
difficult application problems.

The radial play (diametral clearance) of a thin section


ball bearing will need to be predetermined if mounting
fits other than those recommended are used. Special
radial play may be required for a temperature differential
across the bearing, for housing and shaft materials that
have different coefficients of thermal expansion, or to
change operating characteristics of the bearing. Radial
pre-loaded bearings are measured to meet bore and
O.D. tolerances prior to pre-load.

Materials
The standard bearings shown in the catalog have
SAE 52100 steel rings and balls. RBC thin section ball
bearings can be manufactured from other specialty
bearing steels to provide corrosion resistance, high
temperature capability, alternative load capacity, or
chemical compatibility.
Rings RBC has manufactured thin section ball
bearings from SAE CRES 440C to provide corrosion
resistance. As an alternative to stainless steel rings, the
entire surface of the rings can be plated with nodular thin
dense chrome (TDC). This plating, which meets AMS
2438, achieves a molecular bond that will not flake, peel,
or separate from the base material. The TDC plate has a
hardness of HRC 70 - 78 and can withstand temperatures
well beyond the range of the base material.
Special RBC thin section ball bearings have been
manufactured from aluminum, 300 series stainless
steel, 17-4 stainless steel, and other metals.
Balls Some special ball materials available include
440C CRES, 300 Series stainless steel, silicon nitride,
and M-50 steel.

Pre-loading of Duplex Bearings


Standard duplex bearings are ground so that there
will be a light axial pre-load induced on the bearing at
nominal conditions. In some applications increased
bearing stiffness may be required. In these cases the
duplex grinding can be done such that a heavier axial
load is induced in the mounted bearing. This load can be
increased or decreased to meet the requirements of a
particular application. Consult your RBC Aerospace
Bearings sales engineer for special requirements.

Mounting Features
Mounting features, such as flanges, anti-rotation
tabs, and mounting holes can be incorporated on the
inner and outer rings. Mating parts, such as gears and
housings, may be integrated into the bearing rings for
improved performance and cost.

Lubrication
THIN SECTION
BALL BEARINGS

Many different lubricants are available from RBC for


special applications. Greases that are designed
specifically for high speed, low torque, water resistance,
high temperature, oscillatory motion, and food
machinery can be provided. Additional lubricants, such
as dry film, are suitable for use in vacuums and space
applications.

Sealing
Standard seals for thin section ball bearings are
molded from elastomers. PTFE seals, fiber glass
reinforced PTFE seals, stainless steel shields, and many
other options are available for low torque and other
special applications.

ELASTOMER MOLDED SEALS VS. PTFE/SS300 SEALS


Typical elastomer molded design

Typical PTFE/SS300 design

Many molded seals used in bearings are made out


of nitrile (molded rubber per MIL-R-6855). The material
has a relatively high coefficient of friction. In order to
meet low torque bearing requirements, seal fit-up
during installation must be adjusted to minimize
contact pressure on the sealing surfaces reducing
torque by reducing sealing effectiveness. The inherent
variability in the seal molding process can further
aggravate these issues. Over time, torque fluctuations
are nearly inevitable since seals may reset or the
amount of lube between the seal and the sealing
surface may change. Based on these performance
characteristics, molded seals are often marginal and
unreliable solutions for torque sensitive applications.

RBCs solution is a combination seal-shield design.


The seal is made from either pure PTFE or glass fiber
reinforced PTFE. PTFE is chemically inert, has a very
low coefficient of friction (inherent lubricity), and
provides the widest operating temperature range of any
sealing material. The seal is held in place and shielded
with a stainless steel (300 series) flat ring. The seal
drag torque in this design is minimal, predictable, and
consistent over time.
RBC invariably recommends this design for aIl low
torque or torque sensitive applications that require
sealing. RBC can readily retrofit problematic molded
seal designs with a PTFE/300SS optImized solution.

KG and JU series, are manufactured with brass
separators. The KAA series contains nylon separators.
The A-Type bearings contain one-piece circular pocket
separators, while the C and X-Types have snap-over
separators. The four basic separator materials are
brass, nylon, phenolic, and stainless steel.
The graph below schematically illustrates the effects
of cage design and material on bearing performance.
For example, the one-piece circular pocket design may
reach roughly two times the speed of the snap-over
design. Likewise, a brass separator design will generate
more torque and withstand higher temperatures than a

phenolic separator. Exact speed limits depend on


bearing size, bearing type, lubrication and loading.
Specific material advantages and limitations are
illustrated below. For assistance in selecting the
appropriate separator for special applications, contact
your RBC Aerospace Bearings sales engineer.

The limit load ratings shown apply only to airframe control position where bearings are used for oscillatory service.
Equivalent Radial Load = .52 x Radial Load + 1.91 x Thrust Load or = Radial Load, whichever is greater.
Pure Thrust Rating = .84 Radial Rating at operating speed.
(1)These

ratings are for single bearings.

(2)Heavy

line indicates limiting speeds recommended for sealed bearings; for higher speeds, seals should be removed.

EXTREME ANGULAR ACCURACY BEARINGS


Problem

INTEGRAL BEARING ASSEMBLY


Problem

The customer needed a set of bearings that


maintained an extreme precise angular accuracy of the
center line of the shaft to the housing. The angular
accuracy requirement was a non-repeatable error () of
one arc second, and a repeatable error () of three arc
seconds.

Save space and weight in an application involving a


power take-off drive from a high speed gear box.

Recommendation

Solution

Bearings should be made to the most precise


geometric tolerances possible. The bearings should be
pre-loaded to overcome the minor surface imperfections
of the balls and raceways. They should also be part of
a cartridge incorporating the housing and shaft.

The bearing housing was designed to incorporate the


outer raceway of the roller bearing and the outer raceway
of the split inner race ball bearing. In order to increase
the reliability of the rolling contact surfaces in the
housing, the housing was manufactured from AISI M-50
material consumable electrode vacuum melted. The gear
was made integral with the shaft which also contained
the inner raceway of the roller bearing. The gear shaft
was manufactured from consumable electrode vacuum
melted AISI-9310 material; case hardened to Rc 61-64 on
the gear tooth surface and in the roller bearing raceway.
In order to facilitate lubrication of the bearings in the
restricted area, lubrication holes were drilled through the
housing into the space between the two bearings. The
lubrication was fed through these holes from an annular
groove in the housing.
The two halves of the split inner race were retained to
the gear shaft by the use of a lock nut, clamping the
races axially. The combined integral assembly of bearings,
gear shaft and housing provided the desired space and
weight reduction and gained improved operational
accuracy. In addition, it afforded easier installation into
the gear box.

Solution

Make the races of the bearing integral with the


housing and possibly with the gear shaft.

THIN SECTION
BALL BEARINGS

Bearings were made as part of the cartridge assembly


and all angular measurements for accuracy were made
relative to the housing and shaft. Bearings were preloaded and spaced axially to help overcome geometric
inaccuracies of the bearing. The bearing raceways and
balls were made from consumable electrode vacuum
melted AISI 440C material. As the bearings had to operate
in a vacuum, the separator material necessitated a special
open weave phenolic material impregnated with a special
silicone oil. To prevent migration of the oil from the
cartridge assembly, the labyrinth seal was coated
with a barrier film.

THIN SECTION GEARED BEARING


Problem
A radar antenna drive had only limited space available
for its support bearings.

Recommendation
Use a thin section rather than a standard section radial
ball bearing, thus achieving a significant weight reduction.
Incorporate a gear as part of the inner ring to obtain
improved accuracy and simplify the assembly.

ROLLER, THRUST AND ANGULAR CONTACT


BALL BEARING
Problem
A customer was trying to reduce costs of an existing
hydraulic pump swash plate assembly.

Recommendation
Utilize an integral bearing assembly which combines a
roller thrust bearing and an angular contact ball bearing.

Solution
The thin section bearing utilizes coil springs as spacers
between the balls instead of a conventional separator to
further reduce weight and lower bearing torque. The inner
race of the bearing was extended and the gear was cut
on this extended portion of the inner race. The
incorporation of the gear into the inner race eliminated
the necessity of a shaft clamping mechanism, etc., which
would be required if the gear were separate from the
bearing. Integrating the gear profile into the inner race
increased the accuracy of the gear to bearing
concentricity. The bearing was manufactured of the
following materials: the balls and outer race are from
AISI-440-material; the inner race manufactured from AISI8620 material, carburized, and hardened in the raceway
area to Rc 58-60.

The original swash plate design in the hydraulic pump


utilized a roller thrust bearing to handle the thrust load
and a separate angular contact radial ball bearing to
handle radial loads and radially locate the swash plate
assembly. The usage of two separate bearings required
complex machining of the housing and swash plate with
close control of tolerances, to eliminate excessive radial
eccentricity of the swash plate assembly. In the original
design, which utilized two separate bearings, it was
necessary to mount the bearings axially adjacent to each
other. The recommended bearing design decreased the
axial space required for bearings, resulting in a size and
weight savings. A combined bearing assembly is usually
lower in cost than two separate bearings. The technique
of integrating two bearings usually simplifies an assembly
where two bearings had been utilized, or where problems
have arisen relative to running accuracy, overall size or
weight.

SELF-ALIGNING BEARING OPERATING


IN LIQUID POLYETHYLENE
Problem
A rolling contact bearing was required on a vertical
shaft which rotated in a catalytic-polyethylene autoclave.
Blind assembly of the bearing and shaft which weighed
approximately 10,000 pounds was necessary, due to the
autoclave design.

Recommendation
Use radial ball bearing incorporating a self-aligning
raceway made from corrosion resistant materials. The
bearings should be capable of withstanding operating
temperatures as high as 650F, and capable of operating
with liquid polyethylene as the lubricant.

Solution

A fluidic gyroscope required a gimballing, self-aligning


bearing that would rotate at high speed. The bore of the
bearing was to form part of the fluidic metering and
sensing system.

Recommendation
Use a double row, self-aligning spherical ball bearing
with spherical outer and inner raceways. The two rows of
balls should be pre-loaded to obtain the running accuracy
needed for the fluidic metering system in the bore of the
bearing.

Solution
The double row spherical self-aligning ball bearing
was designed with a removable portion of the spherical
outer raceway to allow for pre-loading of the two rows of
balls.
With the possibility of different rotational speeds
of the two rows of balls, each row of balls had its own
separator. To guide the separators, a special configuration
was machined on the outside of the separator to allow for
each separator to be guided at two points of contact with
the spherical outer raceway.
The fluidic metering portion was made as a separate
unit, press fitted into the bore of the bearing.

THIN SECTION
BALL BEARINGS

The bearing was manufactured from AISI-440C


material, specially heat treated to resist softening at
high operating temperatures. The separator material
was L-605 cobalt alloy which offered the necessary
wear resistance.
To solve the clients problem of inserting the 18-footlong assembly into a blind housing, a large lead-in
chamfer was formed on the outside of the bearing. This
lead-in chamfer allowed easy insertion of the bearing into
the housing.
The previous bearing installation did not allow any
shaft misalignment, resulting in bent shafts that were
then unacceptable for further use. The self-aligning
feature of the outer raceway permitted the bearing to
misalign while rotating, allowing for shaft distortion as
the shaft went through critical speeds.

1200F OSCILLATING BEARING


Problem
The customer required a high temperature rolling
contact, oscillating bearing for operation at 1200F,
subjected to high vibration loads.

Recommendation
Design a rolling contact bearing with radial pre-load to
overcome false brinelling that may occur in the high
vibration environment. Bearings should be made from a
corrosion resistant, high-temperature alloy.

Solution

Bearings were needed for operation in hightemperature gear boxes at 600F to 650F.
Conventional lubrication such as oil was not available,
therefore, the bearings would have to be self-lubricating.

Recommendation
Use bearings of high-temperature, heat treated
AISI-440C material. Incorporate in these bearings RBCdeveloped proprietary graphitic carbon separators, to act
as the bearing lubricant.

Solution
Angular contact ball bearings were designed, utilizing
an inner land guided separator of graphitic carbon
material. The separator was reinforced on its outside
diameter with a metallic shroud to withstand the
centrifugal forces from high operating speeds and resist
fracturing, which could result from the tremendous
acceleration rate of the bearing rotation.
To facilitate a break-in period required for transfer of
the self-lubricating material from the graphitic carbon
separator to the rolling contact surfaces, the balls and
raceways were coated with an impinged, tungstendisulfide dry-film lubricant of approximately .000020 in.
in thickness. With the dry film lubricant on the raceways
and balls, the bearings were capable of operating at the
required speed without any break-in period normally
required for bearings incorporating dry, self-lubricating
separators.

THIN SECTION
BALL BEARINGS

The bearing was manufactured of Stellite 6B material


which was cold worked by an RBC proprietary process to
obtain a hardness of Rockwell C-53 minimum in the
raceway areas. The balls of this bearing were made from
L-605 cobalt alloy. The bearing was of full complement
design with a filling slot for insertion of the balls, and
negative radial clearance of line to line to .0003 in. tight.
The lubricating film which is generated by the cobalt
alloy races and balls permitted this bearing to operate
without any additional lubricant. The increased hardness
of the raceways to Rockwell C-53 minimum produced a
bearing which was capable of operating up to 1200F
with extreme wear resistance.

Problem
A high temperature thrust bearing was needed to
support the reactive thrust of a ball screw actuator.
Bearings had to be capable of operating at approximately

Recommendation
Use bearings of high temperature tool steel to
withstand the applied loads at the high operating
temperature.

Solution
Bearings were manufactured from CEVM M-2 tool steel
with a full complement of sixteen .187 in. diameter
tungsten carbide balls. The bearing was designed having
a contact angle of 60 to handle the high thrust load and
some radial loading.
The races were coated with a proprietary dry-film
lubricant applied to the raceways of the bearings prior to
installation of the bearing in the application.
The significant design feature which allows the
bearings to operate at 850F and at speeds up to 750
RPM without excessive wear is the combination of the
tungsten carbide balls running against the M-2 tool steel
raceways. Similar designs using M-2 tool steel balls had
worn very rapidly at relatively short periods of application
at the operating temperatures.

NON-MAGNETIC BEARING
Problem
A newly designed rotating magnetometer for ore
analysis required a non-magnetic bearing.

Recommendation
Use a bearing with the raceways and balls made of a
material capable of operating under the loads and
possess the lowest magnetic permeability. The loading
combined thrust, radial, and moment loads which
required a duplex pair of bearings.

Solution
Manufactured the bearing from Berylco 25* material.
This material was used for the inner and outer races,
balls and shields. The separator was manufactured of a
phenolic material.
The bearing was designed as a common outer duplex
DB pair, lightly pre-loaded. To reduce contamination
possibility, shields were incorporated. The bearing
was lubricated by grease plating the raceways with
MIL-PRF-23827 lubricant.

1400F SELF-ALIGNING BALL BEARING


Problem
The customer needed a hinge bearing on the exhaust
ducts of a jet engine used to propel and lift a ground
effect vehicle machine.

Recommendation
Use a double row angular contact ball bearing in
a self-aligning housing. Bearing materials to be made
of corrosion and heat resistant material.

Solution
The double row ball bearing cartridge unit utilizes
L-605 material for the raceway and balls. The bearing
was mounted in a self-contained spherical housing to
compensate for misalignment of the shaft during
operation, which occurs due to temperature differentials
between the frame and the exhaust nozzles.
The races were made by a special RBC-developed
proprietary race hardening technique.
With this technique, the L-605 cobalt alloy material is
work hardened and then heat treated to a Rockwell C-53
minimum.
The bearing operated for 50 hours with 1400F
exhaust gas passing through the bearing without any
significant wear.

SPHERICAL,
METAL-TO-METAL BEARINGS
Problem
A manufacturer of commercial aircraft required a
landing gear support trunnion bearing.
Bearing must have low radial and axial clearances.

Recommendation
Use a metal-to-metal spherical plain bearing. It should
have a dry-film lubricant on its spherical bearing
surfaces. The bearing should be fabricated from corrosion
resistant material.

Solution
With the clearances required, .0010/.0030 in. radial
and .009 in. max. axial, assembly of match ground
components was necessary. Swaging a bearing of this
size would not result in reliable clearance control. The
outer race was assembled to the ball by deforming it
under radial pressure to an elliptical shape to allow the
insertion of the ball. Once the ball is inserted, the
pressure is removed from the outer race, allowing it to
return to its original shape.

CHEMICAL PROCESSING EQUIPMENT BEARINGS


Problem

Relatively short life was obtained on bearings made


of 316 stainless steel in food processing equipment.
316 stainless steel was required to prevent contamination
of the food products.

Bearings exposed to photographic-processing


chemical solutions were failing. Bearings being used were
made of AISI 440C material, sealed, and grease
lubricated.

Recommendation

Recommendation

Use a harder, more wear resistant material that would


still be resistant to the corrosive fluids of the processed
food and prevent contamination.

Use a bearing of a different alloy; make the separator


self-lubricating and run the bearing in the chemical
solutions.

Solution

Solution

A search of various materials that were resistant


to the food products handled by this particular piece of
equipment brought to light that certain cobalt alloys could
be used without any fear of contamination or corrosion.
In order to increase the wear resistance of the cobalt
alloys, they were cold worked in the raceways to increase
the hardness and, thereby, increase the wear resistance.
The alloy used for the raceways and the balls was
L-605. Separator material was 17-4PH.

The bearing used cobalt alloy balls and races and a


self-lubricating separator of fiberglass reinforced TFE. To
give additional strength to the riveted separator in this
bearing, side plates of 300 series stainless steel were
added to the separator.

CRYOGENIC BEARINGS
Problem
The customer needed a high speed ball and roller
bearings for use in cryogenic equipment. Bearings should
also operate in cryogenic liquid or gaseous environment.

SELF-LUBRICATING
MAIN SHAFT BEARING
Problem

Use bearings of a corrosion resistant material such as


AISI 440C and incorporate a self-lubricating material for
the separators.

The customer was looking for a mainshaft bearing


for a vertical lift engine. For weight reduction, the bearing
needed to be self-lubricating to eliminate a portion of the
engine lubricating system.
Speed of the 85mm bore bearing was 16,000 RPM.
The bearing, located in turbine end of the jet engine,
accommodates axial shaft expansion.

Solution

Recommendation

Ball and roller bearings of ABEC-5 tolerance grade


were made of AISI 440C material, with special sub-zero
treatment in liquid nitrogen. This sub-zero treatment gave
the bearings the dimensional stability necessary for
operating in cryogenic equipment.
The bearing separators were made of Teflon
reinforced fiberglass.
This basic bearing design criterion has been used in
almost all liquid hydrogen and oxygen turbo pumps used
in present day rocket engines.

Use a ball bearing with races and balls made from


wear-resistant materials. Lubricate the bearing with a
shrouded self-lubricating graphite separator. Make the
inner race cylindrical to accommodate the axial shaft
expansion.

Recommendation

Solution
Bearing was manufactured from CEVM AISI-M50
material for the races and balls.
The separator of shrouded graphite was outer land
guided on two graphite rings, pressed into the outer
race ring.
To prevent damage to the graphite while inserting
the shaft into the bearing, a side plate was added that
prevented any accidental contact of the shaft with the
graphite separator. To allow for the excess graphite to
purge from the bearing, holes were put in the protective
side plate.

bearing is lubricated with chemically pure water,
de-ionized, and de-oxygenated.

BALL BEARINGS
FOR VACUUM OPERATION
Problem
The customer wanted a high speed ball bearing, to run
at temperatures up to 1000F.

Recommendation
Recommendation
Use a double row ball bearing, tandem ground for
thrust sharing to obtain the life required. Because radial
support of the inner race is marginal, the inner race for
both rows should be ground on the same ring.

Solution

Solution
The bearings were made of T-5 tool steel which has
high hardness and wear resistance at 1000F. The
bearings contain a full complement of balls and no
separator.
The lubricant was an ultra-thin layer of silver deposited
on the balls. The bearings were manufactured without any
snap, which may abrade the silver on the balls.

THIN SECTION
BALL BEARINGS

The double row ball bearing was made of cobalt alloy


materials, and the separator of 17-4PH.
To obtain the maximum capacity in this double gothic
arch thrust bearing, the outer races are split, permitting
the maximum quantity of balls in each row. Thrust sharing
of two rows is accomplished by accurate match grinding
of the spacer ring to fit the gap between the outer races,
and by matching the contact angle in both rows equal
within two degrees.

Use bearing of wear resistant, high temperature tool


steel. Bearing lubricant should be dry and not sublimate.

TURBO-MACHINERY ROLLER BEARING


Problem

DRUSBA BEARING
Problem

A high speed mainshaft roller bearing was failing due


to skidding. Insufficient load on the bearing was the
cause.

A large diameter bearing to support a platform.


The platform and portion of the bearing operate in an
anisotropic quantum electrodynamic field, while in a
vacuum.

Recommendation
Use a pre-loaded roller bearing to overcome the
skidding problem.

Solution

A 4-point contact pre-loaded ball bearing was


recommended. Provide means for heat addition or
removal to maintain the desired pre-load. Temperature
variations occur due to the field; the outer ring normally
has a higher temperature than the inner ring.

Solution
A split outer race, full-complement ball bearing to be
made of Cobenium rings, and sodium filled Cobenium
balls. The raceways and balls were gold plated. The gold
is the lubricant.
The inner ring of the bearing contains heating or
cooling chambers. These are formed by electron beam
welding the annular members to the ring. The fluid
flowing through the chambers is controlled relative to rate
of flow and temperature, depending upon the specific
race area temperature serviced by that chamber. This
permits control of the geometric configuration of the inner
race and pre-load.
The sodium filled balls are used for heat transfer
between the rings.

THIN SECTION
BALL BEARINGS

The roller bearing was designed with hollow rollers,


providing a radial internal pre-load between the inner and
outer races.
The bearing has an inner land guided separator. The
viscous drag between the separator and the inner race
land diameter promotes the rotation of the separator.
To provide for cooling the inner race, under race
cooling grooves were located in the bore of the inner
race.

WATER-LUBRICATED BEARINGS
Problem
Long-life, wear-resistant bearings for running in water.

Recommendation
Use bearings of cobalt alloys for maximum corrosion
and wear resistance. Design the bearing with race
curvatures and clearances to compensate for the
lack of lubricity of the water.

Solution
Bearing rings were made of L-605 cobalt alloy. An
RBC-developed cold working technique was used to
increase the hardness of the alloy to Rc 53 minimum
after heat treatment, for increased wear resistance.
Normal cold worked and heat treated hardness of this
alloy is Rc 47.
The separators in the bearings were made from
17-4PH corrosion resistant material, heat treated to
increase wear resistance.
DIA

The customer wanted to support a 14 in. diameter


rotating tube that contained lenses. Minimal radial runout
was required to prevent distortion of the image by the
lenses. Bearings should be low in torque and corrosion
resistant, pre-lubricated, and suitable for a vacuum
operation.

Recommendation
The rotating tube should be supported with duplex
pairs of bearings, DB mounted, pre-loaded, with minimal
lubrication of a low vapor pressure lubricant.

Solution
Duplex DB pair of bearings, pre-loaded, were
manufactured of passivated AISI 440C corrosion resistant
steel.
The radial and axial runouts were held to the following:
radial runout, inner, .0002 T.I.R.; outer, .0003 T.I.R.; axial
runout, inner, .0002 T.I.R.; outer, .0003 T.I.R. The separator
consisted of TFE separator around alternate balls for low
starting and running torque.
Bearings were lubricated with a special lubricant and
then centrifuged at 100 gs for 10 minutes to remove the
excess oil.

CAMERA MOUNT BEARING


Problem

TURBO-MACHINERY BALL BEARING


Problem

There was a need for a lightweight, low torque bearing


for use in an aerial camera assembly.

A ball bearing running at 2.2 miIlion DN*, with no load,


was failing due to the fatigue of the outer race, and ball
skidding. Fatigue failures had been occurring due to the
large number of stress cycles, caused solely by the
centrifugal force of the balls.

Recommendation
Use a bearing with rings made of aluminum, and hard
anodize the raceway areas.

Solution
The original steel bearing design a double row
angular contact ball bearing in an aluminum housing
was replaced with a single row, 4-point contact bearing,
with the rings manufactured of 7075-T-651 aluminum.
The raceways of both rings were hard anodized and
ground after hard anodizing. Balls were of passivated
AISI 440C.
This construction utilizing the aluminum material,
reduced the overall weight of the bearing assembly
from over 7 lbs. in the original design to 3.8 lbs. in the
finished unit.
In order to obtain a low running and starting torque,
alternate balls in the raceway were surrounded with TFE
separator and the raceways were grease-plated. The
bearing running torque was below 1 inch lbs. with the
starting torque being below 2 inch lbs.

Recommendation
Reduce the number of balls in the bearing, thereby
reducing the number of stress cycles on the outer race.
Make the separator a lightweight steel design.
Reduction of the separator and ball mass would reduce
the inertial resistance, thereby reducing skidding. Change
material from AISI-52100 to a tool steel to increase
resistance to skid damage.

Solution
Bearing races and balls were made from CEVM
AISI-M50 tool steel. The separator was manufactured
from AISI-4340 material, hardened to Rc 26-32 and
silver plated.
The number of balls was reduced from twenty to eight
balls, reducing the number of stress cycles by sixty
percent.
The separator configuration permitted an increase
of lubricant flow through the bearing for cooling and
lubrication.
