- vocabulary;
- product features;
- dimensions and tolerances;
- fittings;
- test methods;
- load ratings, revolution per minute and life;
- methods of design.
Technical Committee 2 deals with the standardization of thin-walled and thick-walled plain bearings. Standardization work at national level is carried out in the respective DIN committees and at international level in ISO/TC 123 "Plain bearings".
Standardization work in the field of rolling bearings in particular deals with the subject areas listed below:
