Structural bearings - Part 7: Spherical and cylindrical PTFE bearings

This European Standard deals with the requirements for the design and manufacture of spherical and cylindrical PTFE bearings. The requirements and properties of the curved sliding surfaces are included in
EN 1337-2. Spherical and cylindrical bearings with an included angle 2 q > 60° and 2 q > 75° respectively are beyond the scope of this European Standard. (see Figure 6).
For the purpose of controlling the degree of freedom the bearings may be combined with flat sliding elements and guides according to EN 1337-2:2004 and restraining rings as per 6.3.4.
Cylindrical bearings are susceptible to unexpected moments about the transverse axis of the cylindrical surface.
Additional limitation of application to be taken into consideration is given in clause 1 of EN 1337-2:2004.

Lager im Bauwesen - Teil 7: Kalotten- und Zylinderlager mit PTFE

Diese Europäische Norm betrifft die Anforderungen an die Bemessung und die Herstellung von Kalotten- und Zylinderlagern mit PTFE. Die Anforderungen an und Eigenschaften von gekrümmten Gleitflächen sind in EN 1337-2:2004 geregelt. Kalottenlager mit einem Öffnungswinkel von 2 J > 60° und Zylinderlager mit 2 J > 75° liegen außerhalb des Anwendungsbereiches dieser Europäischen Norm (siehe Bild 6).
Zur Steuerung der Freiheitsgerade der Lagerung dürfen die Lager mit ebenen Gleitteilen und Führungen nach EN 1337-2:2004 und Arretierungsringen nach 6.3.4 kombiniert werden.
Zylinderlager sind gegen unplanmäßige Momente um die Querachse der zylindrischen Gleitfläche anfällig.
Zusätzliche in Betracht zu ziehende Anwendungsbegrenzungen sind in EN 1337-2:2004, Abschnitt 1 angegeben.

Appareils d'appui structuraux - Partie 7: Appareils d'appui cylindriques et sphériques comportant du PTFE

Le présent document européen traite des exigences relatives a la conception et a la fabrication des appareils d'appui cylindriques et sphériques comportant du PTFE . Les exigences et les propriétés se rapportant aux surfaces de glissement courbes sont décrites dans l'EN 1337-2. N'entrent pas dans le domaine d'application de la présente Norme européenne les appareils d'appui cylindriques et sphériques dont l'angle au centre (2 q ) de la surface de glissement est supérieur respectivement a 60° et a 75° (voir la Figure 6).
Dans le but de limiter le degré de liberté des appareils d'appui, il est possible de les combiner avec des éléments de glissement plans et des guides conformes a l'EN 1337-2:2004 et avec des butées annulaires conformes au 6.3.4.
Les appareils d'appui cylindriques sont sujets a des moments non prévus autour de l'axe transversal de la surface cylindrique.
Une limitation d'application supplémentaire a prendre en compte est donnée a l'Article 1 de l'EN 1337-2:2004.

EN 1337-7:2004 (E)106.1 Design principlesFor design calculations the principles given in clause 5 of EN 1337-1:2000 shall be taken into account.NOTEThe design values of internal forces and moments as well as of movements should be available from a bearingschedule as shown in annex B of EN 1337-1:2000.6.2 Design verification for curved sliding surfaces6.2.1 GeneralFor the purpose of verifications as per 6.2.2 and 6.2.3 the curved sliding surface shall be replaced by its projectionon a plane surface as shown in Figure 6.Key1Projected areaFigure 6 — Verification scheme for the curved sliding surface (example)Internal forces and moments acting on the curved sliding surface due to frictional resistance, externally appliedhorizontal loads and the rotated condition of the bearing shall be taken into account when determining the resultingtotal eccentricity et of the axial force NS.Secondary effects due to the action of the restraints shall also be considered.NOTEIn annex A of this standard, formulae are given for the evaluation of the eccentricities in the most common cases.The frictional resistance shall be determined using the coefficients of friction given in Table 11 of EN 1337-2:2004.6.2.2Separation of sliding surfacesNOTE Separation of the sliding surfaces may lead to wear due to contamination and increased deformation due to lack ofconfinement. As this could endanger long term fitness for use, the condition sp = 0 is considered as
serviceability limit state.It shall be verified that sp ³ 0 under the characteristic combination of actions. In doing so the sliding material shallbe assumed to be linear elastic and the backing plates shall be deemed to be rigid. The condition sp ³ 0 is satisfiedwhen the total eccentricity et falls within the kernel of the projected area.For spherical bearings this condition is satisfied when:



EN 1337-7:2004 (E)11Dimension L is shown in Figure 5.6.2.3Compressive stress verificationNOTE 1Excessive pressure may cause loss of the sliding function and this may lead to structural failure or states close tostructural failure. Therefore this condition is considered as ultimate limit state.The following conditions shall be verified under a fundamental combination of actions:whereNSdis the design axial force at ultimate limit statefk characteristic value of compressive strength for PTFE sheets (see Table 10 of EN 1337-2:2004)Aris the reduced contact area of the curved sliding surfaceNOTE 2The gm value should be given in NDP. Recommended value is gm = 1,4 (see clause 6.8.3 of EN 1337-2:2004).The reduced area Ar is given by the formula:Ar = l´AwhereAis the area of the projected curved sliding surface (see Figure 6)l is a coefficient given in annex B6.2.4Rotation capabilityUnder the fundamental combination of actions
it shall be shown that¾ the metallic surfacing mating with the PTFE material is so proportioned that it completely covers the PTFEsheet,¾ there is no contact between the upper and the lower part of the bearing or any other metallic component (seeEN 1337-1:2000, annex A).For the verification of the above conditions the increase of rotation, specified in clause 5.4 of EN 1337-1:2000, shallbe taken into account.)2(rmkSdAfN´£g)1(8Let£
