Scope

1.1 This specification covers annular ball bearings intended primarily for use in instrument and precision rotating components. Instrument and precision ball bearings should meet tolerances specified in ABMA Standard 12.2, Instrument Ball Bearings Inch Design for Classes ABEC 5P and 7P.

1.2 Intended Use—Ball bearings defined by this specification are intended for use in critical components of instrument systems. Such components range from air circulating blowers and drive motors through precision gear trains, gyro gimbals, and pickoffs to rate integrating spin-motors.

1.3 The specification contains many of the requirements of MIL-B-81793, which was originally developed by the Department of Defense and maintained by the Naval Air Systems Command (Navy-AS) in Lakehurst, NJ. The following government activity codes may be found in the Department of Defense, Standardization Directory SD-1.²

1.4 Classification—Annular ball bearings for instrument and precision rotating components shall be of the following types, as specified:

1.4.1 Type I—Annular ball bearing, for instruments and precision rotating components, deep groove, unflanged; (See Annex A1 – Annex A4)

1.4.2 Type II—Annular ball bearing, for instruments and precision rotating components, deep groove, flanged; (See Annex A5 – Annex A8)

1.4.3 Type III—Annular ball bearing, for instruments and precision ro......
