ECCN 2A991
ATBearings and bearing systems not controlled by 2A001 .
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 2A991 covers bearings and bearing systems not controlled by 2A001 — the Anti-Terrorism companion entry for commercial bearings that fall below the precision thresholds of 2A001. As an AT-only entry, it applies to a limited set of destinations rather than worldwide.
Who needs to check this?
Bearing manufacturers and distributors exporting commercial bearings that have been ruled out of the precision-controlled 2A001.
Compliance tip
Confirm the bearing's tolerance class is below the 2A001 thresholds first. AT controls require a license only to a limited destination list, but screen the end user and end use against the Entity and SDN lists regardless of the low classification.
Items Covered
- 1. Manufactured for use at operating temperatures above 573 K (300 °C) either by using special materials or by special heat treatment; or
- 2. With lubricating elements or "part" or "component" modifications that, according to the manufacturer's specifications, are specially designed to enable the bearings to operate at speeds exceeding 2.3 million DN.
- b.Solid tapered roller bearings, having tolerances specified by the manufacturer in accordance with ANSI/AFBMA Class 00 (inch) or Class A (metric) or better (or equivalents) and having either of the following characteristics.
- 1. With lubricating elements or "part" or "component" modifications that, according to the manufacturer's specifications, are specially designed to enable the bearings to operate at speeds exceeding 2.3 million DN; or
- 2. Manufactured for use at operating temperatures below 219 K (−54 °C) or above 423 K (150 °C).
- c.Gas-lubricated foil bearing manufactured for use at operating temperatures of 561 K (288 °C) or higher and a unit load capacity exceeding 1 MPa.
- d.Active magnetic bearing systems.
- e.Fabric-lined self-aligning or fabric-lined journal sliding bearings manufactured for use at operating temperatures below 219 K (−54 °C) or above 423 K (150 °C).
Control Reasons
Items controlled for anti-terrorism reasons. Most items on the CCL have AT controls.
