5、 2012-12 Superseding ARP5483/1 Rolling Element Bearing No-Load Torque Test RATIONALE ARP5483/1A is a five-year review with only minor editorial changes. 1. SCOPE This test method outlines the recommended procedure for performing the no-load rotational starting torque test on airframe rolling bearing
6、s. Bearings covered by this test method shall be antifriction ball bearings and spherical roller bearings. 2.

GENERAL REQUIR
10、EMENTS 3.1 Test Apparatus 3.1.1 Torque Tester The testing device shall be capable of measuring the starting rotational torque within the bearing, without applying external radial or axial loads. The torque shall be applied either using electronically driven torque measuring device that starts from a
11、 static state and slowly increases torque until rotation occurs or applied manually using a torque watch. The gage should be accurate to within 10% of the measured value. A simple manual testing device is shown in Figure 1. 3.1.2 (Alternative Method) In the event that the torque apparatus described
12、in 3.1.1 is unavailable, it is permissible to use a force gage and a string (see 4.2). Torque values properly obtained from any of these methods are acceptable. 3.1.3 Calibration Calibration of the torque tester shall be in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 or ISO 10012, and the manufacturers specificat
13、ions. Calibration of the torque tester shall be within limits at the time of the test. 3.1.4 Bearing Adapter The bearing holding adapter shall hold the inner ring of the bearing tightly enough to turn it without causing distortion. The inner bearing ring may be held by the wedging action of a relati
14、vely soft material, or clamping of its faces. The bearings adapter shall be directly attached to the torque tester. A simple adapter, which may be used for multiple bore sizes, is shown in Figure 1. 3.1.5 Equipment Variation Variations in the apparatus to test and hold the bearing are permissible pr
15、oviding the procuring activity is provided with sufficient calibration data to verify the accuracy of the test conditions and results. 3.2 Test Specimen 3.2.1 Disposition of Specimen Bearings having acceptable torque levels and that remain otherwise undamaged after completion of this test are suitab
16、le for delivery into service as this test is considered to be nondestructive. If any other test should be required, then the suitability for delivery of specimen will be based on those other tests. SAE ARP5483/1A Page 3 of 5 FIGURE 1 4. DETAILED REQUIREMENTS 4.1 Procedure for No-Load Rotational Star
17、ting Torque 4.1.1 Rotate one of the two bearing rings at least 4 revolutions in both directions to distribute the lubricant evenly. 4.1.2 Align bearing ring faces so they are perpendicular to the bearing adapters axis and push lightly onto the adapter until wedging action just holds the bearing on t
18、he adapter. (See 4.2 for alternative method.) 4.1.3 Apply torque either using a power driven torque measuring device which gradually increases the torque from zero until rotation starts, or manually using a torque gauge with the bearing at room temperature. A start is registered when the rotating ra
19、ceway member starts and maintains rotation through a minimum 60 degree arc. 4.1.4 Measure the torque a minimum of three times in both rotational directions. The highest value obtained is considered the starting torque of that bearing. SAE ARP5483/1A Page 4 of 5 4.2 (Alternative technique, force gage
20、 with string) To use this technique, fasten one end of a string to the O.D. of the bearing with tape or a similar means. Wrap the string circumferentially along the bearing O.D. for one or more complete revolutions. Attach the free end of the string to an appropriately sensitive force gage. The gage
21、 should be accurate to within 10% of the measured value. Lightly restrain the inner ring from rotating and slowly pull on the spring scale until the outer ring starts to rotate. Measure the force (ounce or pound) to rotate the outer ring a minimum of three times in both rotational directions and rec
22、ord the highest value. The torque is then calculated by multiplying the radius of the bearing (centerline to outside diameter) by the highest force to yield the torque (typical units: in-oz, in-lbf, or ft-lbf). 4.3 If a bearing fails to pass the specification limit, this test may be repeated twice,
23、beginning with 4.1.1. If bearing still fails after three attempts, it must be reworked to conformance or rejected. 5.
