Scope
This specification covers all metal plain spherical bearings which are self-aligning for use between 65 °F to 250 °F. This specification covers bearings with alloy steel races, aluminum bronze races, and an entierly CRES bearing (ball and race). All units are inches, unless otherwise stated.
Rationale
AS8976 Rev A is a 5 year review and reformat of this specification. Clarified plating notes. Added option for zinc nickel plate. Clarified procurement activity address. Clairifed load test dwell times to be approximate. Updated obsolete specifications throughout document. Clarified no material / plating substitutions once qualified unless approved by qualifying activity.

Issuing Committee
The objective of the Airframe Control Bearing Group (ACBG)is to provide industry experience and state of the art technology for airframe bearings, and issue as appropriate, published documents known as SAE Aerospace Standards. The focus of the Committees is present and future aircraft airframe control systems, bearings, and associated components.
The ACBG shall be responsible for the preparation, development, maintenance and promotion of all relevant specifications, standards, and requirements for airframe bearings, control system components, and associated hardware used in the design and construction of aerospace mechanical systems and subsystems. The ACBG shall also coordinate with other organizations for lubricants, control cables, and locking devices and shall utilize and promote the use of specifications published by those organizations. The ACBG shall function as a forum for technology transfer as it affects the Airframe bearing and control systems industry and for the enhancement of distribution channels.Reference

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
