DW and GDW Series / MDW and MGDW Series

DW GDW series bearings and MDW and MGDW series bearings are manufactured to AS27647 per AS7940. These airframe control and aerospace bearings are Made in USA.

Aircraft Control Bearing

  • Manufactured to AS27647 per AS7949
  • Extra wide double row ball bearing
  • All external surfaces except bore and stainless steel seal retainers are cadmium plated
  • Installed with PTFE seals
  • Pre-lubricated (see grease specifications)
  • These series is dimensionally interchangeable except the GDW series can be re-lubricated, through holes and a groove in the outer ring

MDW and MGDW Series Bearings

  • Precision Series tolerances in light blue
  • When ordering precision parts be sure to add the “M” prefix to the standard part number
