Plain bearings — Thin-walled half bearings with or without flange — Part 3: Measurement of peripheral length

This part of ISO 3548 specifies, according to ISO 12301, the checking of the peripheral length of thin-walled half bearings with or without flange, and describes the necessary checking methods and measuring equipment. Thin-walled half bearings are flexible and, in the free condition, do not conform to a cylindrical profile. This is one reason the peripheral length of the half bearings can only be measured under a constraining load by use of specialized measuring equipment. In addition, measuring equipment different from that illustrated in this part of ISO 3548 can be used, provided the measuring accuracy of the equipment is consistent with the specifications given in Clause 17. This part of ISO 3548 does not include measurement of the parting line taper. This part of ISO 3548 applies to thin-walled half bearings, the specifications of which are given in ISO 3548-1

Drsni ležaji - Tankostene ležajne blazinice s prirobnico ali brez nje - 3. del: Merjenje dolžine na obodu

Ta del standarda ISO 3548 v skladu s standardom ISO 12301 določa preverjanje dolžine na obodu za tankostene ležajne blazinice s prirobnico ali brez nje ter opisuje potrebne metode preverjanja in merilno opremo.
Tankostene ležajne blazinice so gibljive in se pod prostimi pogoji ne prilagodijo cilindričnemu profilu.
Zato je mogoče dolžino na obodu za ležajne blazinice izmeriti le pod omejujočo
obremenitvijo z uporabo posebne merilne opreme.
Poleg tega je mogoče uporabiti tudi merilno opremo, ki ni prikazana v tem delu standarda ISO 3548,
če merilna točnost opreme ustreza specifikacijam iz točke 17. Ta del standarda ISO 3548 ne zajema merjenja delilne črte konusa.
Ta del standarda ISO 3548 se uporablja za tankostene ležajne blazinice, za katere je specifikacija navedena v standardu ISO 3548-1.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 3548-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 123, Plain Bearings, Subcommittee SC 5,
Quality analysis and assurance.
This first edition of ISO 3548-3 cancels and replaces ISO 6524:1992, which has been technically revised.
ISO 3548 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plain bearings — Thin walled half bearings
with or without flange:
— Part 1: Tolerances, design features and methods of test
— Part 2: Measurement of wall thickness and flange thickness
— Part 3: Measurement of peripheral length

Part 3:
Measurement of peripheral length
1 Scope
This part of ISO 3548 specifies, according to ISO 12301, the checking of the peripheral length of thin-
walled half bearings with or without flange, and describes the necessary checking methods and
measuring equipment.
Thin-walled half bearings are flexible and, in the free condition, do not conform to a cylindrical profile.
This is one reason the peripheral length of the half bearings can only be measured under a constraining
load by use of specialized measuring equipment.
In addition, measuring equipment different from that illustrated in this part of ISO 3548 can be used,
provided the measuring accuracy of the equipment is consistent with the specifications given in Clause 17.
This part of ISO 3548 does not include measurement of the parting line taper.
This part of ISO 3548 applies to thin-walled half bearings, the specifications of which are given in ISO 3548-1.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated

3.3
repeatability
closeness of agreement between successive results obtained with the same method on the same test
piece, under the same conditions (same operator, same measuring equipment, same checking place and
time intervals)
NOTE Repeatability is assessed from the standard deviation of repeatability σ (see Annex E).
Δ
3.4
reproducability
closeness of agreement between individual results obtained with the same method on the same test
piece but under different conditions (identical or different operator, measurement equipment, checking
place and times)
NOTE For the purposes of this part of ISO 3548, reproducibility is the difference between the two averages
obtained from two sets of measuring equipment (see Annex E).
3.5
comparability
accuracy in the case of operators working in different checking places at different periods and each of
them achieving individual results, one using method A and the other using method B, on the same plain
bearing test piece in different checking blocks
NOTE Comparability is assessed from the difference between the two averages obtained from the two
methods (see Annex E).

6 Checking methods
6.1 Method A
The checking load, F, is directly applied via the measuring head with a pivoting metering bar to one parting
line face of the half bearing while the other parting line face is in contact with a fixed stop (see Figure 2).

NOTE In the case of method A, the fixed stop exerts the required counterforce, which, in the case of method B,
is applied directly by the measuring equipment via two metering bars.

7 Choice and designation of checking method
7.1 Choice of checking method
Recommendations for choosing either method A or method B, based on dimensions of the half bearings
to be checked, are given in Table 3.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 3548-3:2012(E)

However, any size of bearing may be tested by either method by agreement between the manufacturer
and user. In that case, a correction, δ, should be applied to compensate for the difference in deflections
at parting line face(s) under load between method A and method B, and be such that:
aa=+ a +δ (3)
AB1B2
The value of δ shall be determined empirically by actual measurements obtained on the two different
types of equipment used. Since the detailed design of the checking feature shall be varied between
different manufacturers, the value of δ established by one manufacturer cannot be transferred to
another, who shall determine it separately. See example in Annex E.
For general guidance, the value of δ may be derived from the formula used in the mathematical analysis
of belt friction, which gives:

50 000 < F 0,25
9.3 Speed of approach of measuring head
The checking load, F, shall be applied to the parting line face(s) of the half bearing so that shock load shall
not occurr. The speed of approach shall be 10 mm/s ± 2 mm/s.
For devices in which the speed of approach cannot be altered, the load shall be applied, released and
applied a second time before the measurement is made.
9.4 Construction of measuring head
The measuring head shall be so designed and manufactured that it is accurately guided and moves
normal to the datum of the checking block. The deviation from parallelism between the metering bar(s)
in the measuring head and the supporting plane of the checking block shall not exceed 0,04 mm per
100 mm in a radial direction.

10 Gauging tools for establishing the datum
10.1 General
The following equipment may be used for carrying out measurements:
— a master checking block (for reference measurements) (see Clause 11), or
— a series checking block (for series control in production) (see Clause 11), or
— a master shell (for series control in production) (see Clause 12).
© ISO 2012 – All rights reserved 9

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
ISO 3548-3:2012(E)

It shall be used in three ways (as indicated in 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4) to establish the appropriate datum for
setting the gauge.
10.2 Master checking block (used alone)
The master checking block is the comparison basis for the other checking blocks used for series control.
10.3 Series checking block used alone
The peripheral length of the bore of this type of checking block is determined by comparison with the
master checking block.
lt is applied in series control without using a master shell or a comparison shell.
10.4 Series checking block with master shell
The peripheral length of the checking block bore is determined by the master shell or comparison shell,
the peripheral length of which was determined in the master checking block.
This combination of gauging tools is applied in series control.
NOTE For series control, a checking block can also be used with a checking master, but this combination of
gauging tools is not within the scope of this part of ISO 3548.
11 Checking block requirements
11.1 General
A typical block is shown in Figure 6. The gauging part has a bore diameter, d , and height, H , and holds
cb cb
the half bearings to be checked.
The checking block should preferably be of hardened steel and of rigid design and manufacturing so that
the requirements of Clause 16 are met when the half bearing is tested under load.
The bore of the checking block shall not be chromium plated.
Recesses shall be cut into the checking block to accommodate the locating lip in the half bearings. They
shall be 1 mm wider and deeper and 1,5 mm longer than the locating lips in the half bearings.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 3548-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 123, Plain Bearings, Subcommittee SC 5,
Quality analysis and assurance.
This first edition of ISO 3548-3 cancels and replaces ISO 6524:1992, which has been technically revised.
ISO 3548 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plain bearings — Thin walled half bearings
with or without flange:
— Part 1: Tolerances, design features and methods of test
— Part 2: Measurement of wall thickness and flange thickness
— Part 3: Measurement of peripheral length

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 3548-3:2012(E)
Plain bearings — Thin-walled half bearings with or
without flange —
Part 3:
Measurement of peripheral length
1 Scope
This part of ISO 3548 specifies, according to ISO 12301, the checking of the peripheral length of thin-
walled half bearings with or without flange, and describes the necessary checking methods and
measuring equipment.
Thin-walled half bearings are flexible and, in the free condition, do not conform to a cylindrical profile.
This is one reason the peripheral length of the half bearings can only be measured under a constraining
load by use of specialized measuring equipment.
In addition, measuring equipment different from that illustrated in this part of ISO 3548 can be used,
provided the measuring accuracy of the equipment is consistent with the specifications given in Clause 17.
This part of ISO 3548 does not include measurement of the parting line taper.
This part of ISO 3548 applies to thin-walled half bearings, the specifications of which are given in ISO 3548-1.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3.3
repeatability
closeness of agreement between successive results obtained with the same method on the same test
piece, under the same conditions (same operator, same measuring equipment, same checking place and
time intervals)
NOTE Repeatability is assessed from the standard deviation of repeatability σ (see Annex E).
Δ
3.4
reproducability
closeness of agreement between individual results obtained with the same method on the same test
piece but under different conditions (identical or different operator, measurement equipment, checking
place and times)
NOTE For the purposes of this part of ISO 3548, reproducibility is the difference between the two averages
obtained from two sets of measuring equipment (see Annex E).
3.5
comparability
accuracy in the case of operators working in different checking places at different periods and each of
them achieving individual results, one using method A and the other using method B, on the same plain
bearing test piece in different checking blocks
NOTE Comparability is assessed from the difference between the two averages obtained from the two
methods (see Annex E).

6 Checking methods
6.1 Method A
The checking load, F, is directly applied via the measuring head with a pivoting metering bar to one parting
line face of the half bearing while the other parting line face is in contact with a fixed stop (see Figure 2).

7 Choice and designation of checking method
7.1 Choice of checking method
Recommendations for choosing either method A or method B, based on dimensions of the half bearings
to be checked, are given in Table 3.

However, any size of bearing may be tested by either method by agreement between the manufacturer
and user. In that case, a correction, δ, should be applied to compensate for the difference in deflections
at parting line face(s) under load between method A and method B, and be such that:
aa=+ a +δ (3)
AB1B2
The value of δ shall be determined empirically by actual measurements obtained on the two different
types of equipment used. Since the detailed design of the checking feature shall be varied between
different manufacturers, the value of δ established by one manufacturer cannot be transferred to
another, who shall determine it separately. See example in Annex E.
For general guidance, the value of δ may be derived from the formula used in the mathematical analysis
of belt friction, which gives:

It shall be used in three ways (as indicated in 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4) to establish the appropriate datum for
setting the gauge.
10.2 Master checking block (used alone)
The master checking block is the comparison basis for the other checking blocks used for series control.
10.3 Series checking block used alone
The peripheral length of the bore of this type of checking block is determined by comparison with the
master checking block.
lt is applied in series control without using a master shell or a comparison shell.
10.4 Series checking block with master shell
The peripheral length of the checking block bore is determined by the master shell or comparison shell,
the peripheral length of which was determined in the master checking block.
This combination of gauging tools is applied in series control.
NOTE For series control, a checking block can also be used with a checking master, but this combination of
gauging tools is not within the scope of this part of ISO 3548.
11 Checking block requirements
11.1 General
A typical block is shown in Figure 6. The gauging part has a bore diameter, d , and height, H , and holds
cb cb
the half bearings to be checked.
The checking block should preferably be of hardened steel and of rigid design and manufacturing so that
the requirements of Clause 16 are met when the half bearing is tested under load.
The bore of the checking block shall not be chromium plated.
Recesses shall be cut into the checking block to accommodate the locating lip in the half bearings. They
shall be 1 mm wider and deeper and 1,5 mm longer than the locating lips in the half bearings.
