Aerospace Engineers Specify Rexnord Bearings
When professionals are looking for high performance, quality and reliability, they find it in our wide range of specialty roller and spherical bearing products.
Product Features Designed for the Customer:
• Compact, economical, lightweight designs
• Variety of material choices
• Preferred for use in landing gear, flight control systems, airframe, engine mount and rotor assemblies
Shafer® roller bearings have custom features that accommodate the aerospace industry to minimize the bearing clearance contribution to system play or backlash. Our customers have proven that the use of these bearings saves time and offers other cost-savings benefits through features designed to enhance performance:
• Single- and double-row roller bearings
• Wide range of designs, including annular, rod-end and special configurations
• Low-friction, high-load carrying capabilities
• Internal self-alignment
• Various types of tooling for bearing installers and inspectors
Tuflite® bearings are totally non-metallic and, by virtue of their manufacturing process, achieve a quality and performance consistency that can't be duplicated with individual part processing.
Performance Features:
• Typical motions: pivot, oscillating, linear sliding and slow-speed full rotation
• High strength: loads range from 4,000 psi to 30,000 psi
• Lightweight: 77% less weight than steel and 30% less than aluminum
• Self-lubricated: eliminates contaminating lubricants and complex lubrication systems
• Composite of filament-wound fiberglass and epoxy resin bonded securely to a Teflon® fabric liner
• Complies with the requirements of SAE AS9100
Rexnord is involved in an ongoing effort to improve the performance and reliability of our products, as well as the cost. Your longer range interests and needs are important to us, and provide valuable input to our new product development and process improvement efforts for existing products.
