ADBY

Technical Specifications of ADBY Series Aerospace Spherical Bearings

1. Radial Clearance

The ADBY Series Aerospace Spherical Bearings are manufactured with a precise radial clearance range. The clearance is designed to be free-running, with a maximum allowable limit of 0.002 inches. This ensures smooth motion under high misalignment conditions while maintaining system stability.

2. Dimensional Accuracy Post-Plating

All specified dimensions of the ADBY bearings are measured and held within tolerance after the plating process. This guarantees the final installed product meets tight aerospace tolerance standards, ensuring compatibility with high-performance assemblies and minimizing the risk of fitment issues.

3. Lubrication Groove and Grease Access

The groove dimensions on the inner diameter (ID) of the bearing race, along with the grease access holes through the race, are precisely machined prior to bearing assembly. Although swaging (used to secure the ball in the race) is applied during assembly, it is carefully controlled to ensure that grease flow remains unrestricted. This design supports efficient long-term lubrication and reduced maintenance needs, even in mission-critical applications.

Application Considerations

These spherical bearings are widely used in aerospace applications that demand high performance under angular misalignment, such as control linkages, actuators, and structural joints. The ADBY series ensures both mechanical reliability and longevity, making it a trusted choice for engineers and procurement professionals in the aerospace industry.
