Aviation Bearing Parts

Aircraft Bearing Parts are mechanical devices that are utilized to provide linear movement, rotational movement, friction reduction, and/or load support. Bearings produce less friction than a sliding surface; as a result, they help a system operate faster while using less power. Mechanical bearings have a rolling device that provides a smaller contact area and less abrasive contact points than two static materials paired together.

There is an array of bearing types available for various applications; however, the most common bearing types include the following: plain bearings, rolling-element bearings, jewel bearings, fluid bearings, magnetic bearings, and flexure bearings.

We supply high-quality Aircraft Bearing Parts from top manufacturers within the global hardware market. These manufacturers include Timken, RBC, RHBB, Accurate Bushing Company, Aurora, SKF, Precision Division, Hitech, NTN Bearing Corp, and Barden.

Aerospace Bearings

Aerospace bearings are categorized by strict standards for airworthiness; they are held to various material standards, testing requirements, and traceability requirements. This type of hardware is an integral component of various aerospace equipment on commercial aircraft, spacecraft, UAVs, satellite equipment, and others. They are also utilized in landing gear struts, engines, aircraft interiors, etc. Bearings are made of high-quality materials due to the harsh environments in which they operate.

The most common Aircraft Bearings used in the aerospace industry include the following: roller bearings, roller thrust bearings, ball bearings, ball thrust bearings, screw bearings, baffle bearings, actuator bearings, and needle bearings.

Fixed-wing Aircraft Bearings

Airframe control systems such as ailerons, trim tabs, and elevators utilize aerospace standard bearings. The devices are also used in engines, doors, landing gear, stowage bin support, and thrust reversers. Specific bearings used for these applications include airframe control bearings, actuator bearings, APU bearings, ball bearings, door linkage bearings, engine bearings, horizontal stabilizer bearings, stowage bin support bearings, spherical plain bearings, radar gimbal thin section bearings, thrust reverser linkage bearings, track rollers, and landing gear trunnion bearings.

Rotary-Wing Aircraft Bearings

Bearings are used in the main rotor, tail rotor, landing gear, doors, and engines. Specific bearings for these applications are main rotor bearings, tail rotor pitch link bearings, tail rotor bearings, main rotor pitch link bearings, main rotor swashplate slider bearings, engine gearbox, and transmission bearings, rod ends, spherical, and journal bearings, self-lubricating bushings, and landing gear bearings.

Automotive Bearings

Automotive systems that integrate bearings include water pumps, wheels, and transmissions. There are a few bearing types that are typically utilized in these systems including clutch release bearings, gearbox bearings, roller bearings, suspension and strut bearings, and wheel bearings.

Marine Bearings

Marine vessels include the following: battleships, carriers, cruisers, tankers, cargo ships, container vessels, passenger vessels, tugs, and others. Bearings utilized in marine applications must meet specified standards-particularly relating to anti-corrosion properties-due to the various corrosive elements they are exposed to.

There are three main material types used to construct marine bearings. These bearing types are lead bronze bearings, bi-metal bearings, and tri-metal bearings. Other common marine bearings include main bearings, top end bearings, bottom end bearings, thrust pad bearings, and pedestal bearings.
