Choosing an aerospace bearing manufacturer begins with an assessment of your requirements. For example, do you need custom bearings or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standard part numbers? What are the quantities you need and the lead times you’ll accept? An AS9100 quality system, Made in USA manufacturing, and a track record of success are also key considerations.
Schatz Bearing Corporation of Poughkeepsie, New York (USA) develops, analyzes, designs, manufactures, and tests aerospace bearings for commercial and military use. Our products are approved to thousands of Boeing and MIL-SPEC standards, and we can modify our standard
bearings based on your application-specific requirements.

Order Quantities
Minimum order quantity (MOQ) is the smallest number of products that an aerospace bearing manufacturer will provide. Unfortunately, many suppliers set their MOQs so high that you might have to buy more than you need. That ties up cash and increases inventory levels. Unlike our competitors, Schatz doesn’t have MOQs. Whether you need prototypes, small lots, or high volumes, we deliver.
Lead Times
How long will you have to wait for your order? When there’s a sharp rise in market demand, some of our competitors can’t seem to keep up. In fact, we’ve seen them extend their lead times to well over a year with little or no advance notice. That’s not the case at Schatz. Organizationally, we’re structured for flexibility.
We have the right equipment and personnel in place, and we’re the go-to source for expedited aircraft bearings. For decades, our lead times have had much less variation than our competition. If you need a stable and reliable supplier during the inevitable ups and downs of the aerospace industry, Schatz Bearing is here to support you with consistency.
AS9100 Quality
Quality is about more than making a good product. It’s about making a product that meets requirements. An AS9100D certified supplier has a quality management system (QMS) that enables it to meet these requirements while providing documentation for traceability. Schatz is AS9100D certified, and we’ve been a Boeing Performance Excellence Award winner for many years.
Made in USA Manufacturing
Long before the threat of tariffs, U.S. companies began reshoring their supply chains. An overseas aerospace bearing manufacturer might
seem cost-effective, but the Reshoring Initiative reports that there’s “a 20 to 30 percent miscalculation of actual offshoring costs. Schatz is a Made in USA manufacturer that can help you secure your supply chain.
Track Record of Success
True aerospace bearings require a greater degree of precision than you’ll find in many industrial applications. That’s why when it’s
mission-critical, OEMs that supply NASA and the U.S. military ask for Schatz. Our space bearings have been used in satellites such as
the James Webb, on the Mars Rover, and in missiles that exit and re-enter Earth’s atmosphere.
