Landing Gear Bearings
Rexnord® PSI® and Shafer® bearings provide the high-impact load capability needed for landing gear systems. PSI bearings are used in the trunnion positions on the Boeing 737, 757, 767, 777 and 787 aircraft. Rexlon bearings are used in the landing gear linkage system systems on the 737.

Rexnord landing gear bearings provide: 
     • Wide range of material and coating options 
     • Housing locking features 
     • Corrosion-resistant capabilities 
     • Excellent impact loading resistance

 

Landing Gear Trunnion Bearings
Landing Gear Trunnion Bearings
Landing gear trunnion bearings are designed for the high-impact loads and corrosive environments that are encountered in the landing gears of commercial and military aircrafts, as well as re-entry spacecraft.

Generally, these products are manufactured to meet the following features:
     • High-load capacity
     • Lower weight requirements.
     • Corrosion resistance
     • Self or grease lubricated

Trunnion bearings, in particular, are designed to be pivot points to offer fluid movement in a critical area of the landing gear assemblies. Landing gear bearings are PSI’s specialty. The combination of their broad choice of material, lubrication flexibility, on-wing ball replacement (repairable design) and superior ball-to-race conformity makes PSI the preferred choice amongst OEMs.

   

Landing Gear Retractor Actuators
Landing Gear Retractor Actuator Bearings
Rexnord Shafer provides bearings for use in landing gear retractor actuators. Designed to meet customer specifications, our bearings are used in high-load oscillatory applications, while providing misalignment, low friction, and long life.

Our rod ends are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, and can be designed to meet your application needs. Please contact our engineering department to discuss the specifics of your application to ensure optimum cost, performance, and reliability.

 

Landing Gear Drag Brace Bearings
Landing Gear Drag Brace Bearings
Landing gear bearings are designed for the high-impact loads and corrosive environments encountered in the landing gear of commercial and military aircrafts, as well as re-entry spacecraft.

Generally, these products are manufactured to meet the following features:
     • High-load capacity
     • Lower weight requirements.
     • Corrosion resistance
     • Grease lubricated

Drag brace bearings in particular, are designed to withstand the high tension and compression loads encountered during the landing and takeoff of aircrafts. PSI’s split ball integral design configuration improves stiffness, fatigue resistance while decreasing weight.

  

Landing Gear Shock Strut Sleeves
Landing Gear Shock Strut Sleeves
Landing gear bearings are designed for high impact loads and corrosive environments encountered in landing gear of commercial and military aircrafts as well as re-entry spacecraft.
Generally, these products are manufactured to meet the following features:
     • Lower weight requirements.
     • Corrosion resistance
     • Self-lubricated
     • Designed for use in sliding motion
     • Designed for use in systems requiring low friction

Shock strut sleeves, in particular, are also designed to alleviate the friction encountered in the landing gear assembly.

  

Landing Gear Door Bearings
Landing Gear Door Bearings
Landing gear door bearings are designed for the high-impact loads and corrosive environments encountered in the landing gear of commercial and military aircrafts, as well as re-entry spacecraft.

Generally, these products are manufactured to meet the following features: 
     • High-load capacity
     • Lower weight requirements.
     • Corrosion resistance

PSI’s split ball integral design configuration improves stiffness and fatigue resistance, while decreasing weight.

  

Landing Gear Steering Bearings
Landing Gear Steering Bearings
Shafer torque tube bearings are ideal for restricted envelope applications such as landing gear steering. With a low-roller contact angle, the bearings can accommodate a narrow width and thin cross section. The integral shoulder design also gives some allowance for thrust loads. Features of these bearings include:
     • Designed for use in oscillatory motion
     • High radial load capacity
     • Low unmounted internal clearance
     • Self-aligning
     • Corrosion resistant
     • Relubriciatable

These bearings are available in a variety of sizes and can be designed to meet your application needs. Please contact our engineering department to discuss the specifics of your application to ensure optimum cost, performance, and reliability.
