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 nongovernmental, 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.
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.
International Standard ISO 7902-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 123, Plain bearings, Subcommittee SC 4, Methods of calculation of plain bearings.
ISO 7902 consists of the following parts, under the general title Hydrodynamic plain journal bearings under steady-state conditions — Circular cylindrical bearings:
— Part 1: Calculation procedure
— Part 2: Functions used in the calculation procedure
— Part 3: Permissible operational parameters
Annex A of this part of ISO 7902 is for information only.
In order to attain sufficient operational reliability of circular cylindrical plain journal bearings when calculated in accordance with ISO 7902-1, it is essential that the calculated operational parameters hmin, TB or Tex and mml_m1 do not lie above or below the permissible operational parameters hlim, Tlim and mml_m2. The permissible parameters represent geometrically and technologically dependent operational limits within the plain bearing tribological system. They are empirical values which still enable sufficient operational reliability even for minor influences (see ISO 7902-1).
1 Scope
This part of ISO 7902 specifies empirical permissible values for hlim, Tlim and mml_m3.
The empirical values stated can be modified for certain applications, for example if information supplied by the manufacturer is to be taken into account. The descriptions of the symbols and calculation examples are given in ISO 7902-1.
2 Normative reference
The following standard contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of ISO 7902. At the time of publication, the edition indicated was valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this part of ISO 7902 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the standard indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.
