Aviation and Aerospace Bearings

Airframe Control Bearings

Airframe control bearings are used in flight control systems, drive systems, and other aviation applications.

  • They include lightweight, corrosion-resistant bearings that come in precision grades for running accuracy.
  • Airframe control bearings are also used in electro-mechanical control actuators for flaps, slats, and spoilers and in vertical and horizontal stabilizers.

Aircraft Bearings

Schatz airframe bearings are used in airframe applications, flight control systems for fly-by-wire and conventional flight controls.

  • Use these precision bearings with actuators, drivelines, gearboxes, and mechanisms for flaps, slats, and spoilers as well as horizontal and vertical stabilizers and landing gear.
  • This product category includes lightweight, corrosion-resistant airframe control bearings and many other designs including thin section bearings.

Space Bearings

Space bearings are designed for mission-critical applications and many times operate under vacuum conditions.

  • These aerospace bearings are used in reaction wheels, actuation systems, robotic arms, indexing and optical imaging applications, and gimbal instruments.
  • Space bearings are also used in radar systems, satellites, ground vehicles such as the Mars Rover, and in other outer space applications.

eVTOL Bearings Materials

Typically, Schatz makes eVTOL bearings from 52100 steel combo, 440C stainless steel, or CREN steel.

  • AISI 52100 is a high-carbon chromium-bearing steel with excellent strength and fatigue properties.
  • AISI 440C is a hardened stainless steel that provides reliable corrosion resistance, including at high temperatures.
  • CREN steel is also corrosion-resistant, but this martensitic steel combines excellent fatigue resistance with high hardness levels.
