The BSI Standards Committee MCE/7 – Rolling Bearings is seeking new experts to join its membership and help shape the UK’s contributions to ISO/TC 4 Rolling Bearings and its subcommittees. These groups develop international standards across areas including:
Tolerances
Needle roller bearings
Insert bearings and accessories
Spherical plain bearings
Load ratings and bearing life
Linear motion rolling bearings
Ball bearings
Testing, measuring and evaluation
Current Priority Projects
Experts will have the opportunity to contribute to ongoing work such as:
ISO/AWI 25994 – Spherical plain bearings — Self‑lubricating bearings of PTFE fabric liner type
ISO/WD 5753-1 – Rolling bearings — Internal clearance — Part 1: Radial internal clearance for radial bearings
ISO/CD 25260 – Rolling bearings — Insert bearing units
What’s Involved?
MCE/7 meets online three times a year, with meetings typically lasting no more than 2.5 hours. Between meetings, members review draft standards and submit comments—ensuring the views of the UK rolling bearings and wider mechanical power transmission industry are fully represented.
Individuals who wish to be more directly involved in drafting may also join the relevant international or European working groups. These groups meet more frequently and require a greater time commitment, but offer:
Valuable international networking
Direct influence on the technical content of standards
Insight into global developments affecting rolling bearing technology
