25、ng and Coating Compound, Corrosion Inhibitive MMPDS Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization 2.5 Definitions A landing gear bearing is a component which, when installed between two or more landing gear structural members having relative motion, can perform the following function

26、s: a. Transmit loads between those members (moving or stationary). b. Control the friction coefficient of the joint. c. Control the wear of the joint. d. Protect the primary component - act as a sacrificial part. SAE INTERNATIONAL AIR1594C 3 OF 163. PLAIN BEARING CONFIGURATIONS Plain bearings are th

27、ose bearings whose interface motions are sliding actions between two parallel surfaces. Bearings falling within this classification can carry radial and/or thrust loads and accommodate motion. The bearing configurations most widely used in landing gear applications are journal, spherical, and thrust

28、. These bearings can be lubricated or self-lubricating configurations. 3.1 Journal Bearings (Bushings) This configuration consists of a cylindrical shell (with or without a flange) installed in a housing in conjunction with a mating pin or bolt. These bearings are used in pinned joints of landing ge

29、ar mechanisms and structures. They can be highly loaded when there is no joint rotation and less loaded when oscillatory motion is present such as during landing gear retraction and extension. Axially sliding sleeve journals are used in shock struts and hydraulic actuators. Figure 1 is an example of

30、 a typical landing gear journal bearing illustrating both a plain and flanged bearing on the same diagram. FIGURE 1 - TYPICAL LANDING GEAR JOURNAL BEARING 3.2 Spherical Bearings This bearing configuration is an integral unit in which a spherically shaped (ball) inner race is free to rotate and misal

31、ign within the confines of the outer race. The spherical interface will provide for misalignment of joined members and allow for rotary motion. The design will function under both radial and thrust loads. It is desirable for the rotary motion to take placebetween the ball and the outer race of the b

32、earing (lower bearing stress) to avoid galling of the mating pin. To this end, the most common installation, the ball side faces (or bushing sleeve at the ball center) are clamped to the mating pin. The ball may be greased or lined with a low friction material. 3.3 Thrust Bearings Thrust bearings, a

33、s the name implies, are designed to carry thrust loads. Although they may be a separate bearing, they are frequently integrated into a journal bearing as a flanged face. SAE INTERNATIONAL AIR1594C 4 OF 164. LANDING GEAR BEARING CONSIDERATION In the selection of any landing gear bearing or bearing ma

34、terial, the following application parameters must be considered. a. Environmental conditions including exposure to dirt, water or other contaminants b. Applied loads (radial, thrust, moment, static, dynamic, and shock) c. Required service life or service time between overhauls d. Velocity/duration o

35、f relative motion causing frictional heat buildup e. Lubrication requirements f. Misalignment possibilities g. Envelope restrictions h. Type of application (static, oscillatory, slow motion) i. Retention methods j. Position accuracy (radial and axial) k. Maintenance (must be lubricated, repaired or

36、replaced) l. Installation (expansion characteristics, allowable looseness, pre-load requirements) m. Friction, torque (starting and dynamic) n. Weight o. Dissimilar materials (provisions for galvanic action) p. Same materials are avoided for bearings sliding in contact for frictional issues and weld

37、ing potential q. Material selection. Similar materials in contact (such as corrosion resistant alloys) are avoided for galling considerations. However, self-lubricating bearings and mating shafts are made from corrosion resistant alloys since there is a lubricating barrier between the mating surface

38、s. r. Temperature minimum and maximum s. Housing material rigidity and stiffness. t. Running fit per ANSI B4.1. SAE INTERNATIONAL AIR1594C 5 OF 165. MATERIAL SELECTION FOR LUBRICATED BEARINGS Based on experience and laboratory testing, the following materials are those used for bearing applications

39、in landing gears (Reference Tables 1 and 2). The mating pin or shaft wear surface, in most cases, is steel with 0.003 in (0.07 mm) minimum chrome plating or tungsten carbide (WC-Co or WC-Co-Cr) coating thickness. 5.1 Journal and Thrust Bearings There are several materials suitable for lubricated jou

40、rnal bearing use such as aluminum nickel bronze. These journal bearings are often used in conjunction with high strength-chrome plated or WC-Co High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) steel pins. Where two journal bearings move relative to one another, aluminum-nickel-bronze is often used in combination wi

41、th Corrosion Resistant Steel (CRES) or equivalent to prevent galling. It has been shown that coating and finish grinding both mating faces with WC-Co HVOF coatings produces excellent wear properties without galling and allows the use of aluminum nickel bronze for both journal bearings, Also, laborat

42、ory tests and service usage indicate that unique journal bearing lubrication grooves improve lubrication properties and minimize wear in service. 5.2 Spherical Bearings There are several materials suitable for lubricated spherical bearing use such as softer metallic outer races with high strength-ch

43、rome plated steel balls. Some materials used are aluminum-nickel-bronze in combination with corrosion resistant steel (CRES) or low alloy steel heat treated to 275 ksi (1896 MPa). Also, laboratory tests and service usage indicate that another satisfactory combination for spherical bearings in the la

44、nding gear environment is a copper beryllium ball with a 17-4 PH CRES outer race (Reference AS81936, Be-Cu spherical bearing). 6. WORKING PRESSURES FOR LUBRICATED BEARINGS 6.1 Working Bearing Pressure The maximum recommended bearing pressures at limit loads generally used for sizing bearings are lis

45、ted in Table 1. Bearing surface roughness at sliding interfaces is commonly 16 to 32 micro-inch (0.4 to 0.8 micro-meter) Ra. Lower Ra values typically produce less wear in service as long as lubrication retention can be assured. Honing is a commonly used method to achieve superior surface finishes i

46、n small bearings. Additional bearing material information is given in Table 2. Aluminum bronze and copper beryllium and similar bearing materials have a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than steel. This characteristic should be considered during the bearing design at limit loads to prevent bi

47、nding at adverse temperatures. Post installation sizing of the bearing inside diameter is used to ensure adequate bearing to pin clearance. 6.2 Thermal Considerations Where high velocity and pressure between the bearing surfaces develops frictional heat in excess of 500 F (260 C), detrimental impact

48、 to landing gear components may occur from frictional burning below a chrome plated journal. In this application, tests have shown that bearings with self-lubricated liners are superior when compared with lubricated metal-to-metal sliding surfaces. Durability of these liners needs to be considered w

49、hen used where high point loads may exist. The leading and trailing edges of such bearings should be chamfered or beveled to prevent peaking or edge loading. HVOF coatings such as WC-Co and WC-Co-Cr have better thermal properties than chrome and, therefore, may reduce the occurrence of frictional burning issues.
