Global Market Likely to be Driven by Aerospace Applications

Aerospace bearings are devised to fulfil the rigorous demands of aircraft control and aerospace applications. These are usually manufactured from stainless steel or other metals or materials that are resistant to corrosion, shock, and temperature extremes. Aerospace bearings come in several different shapes and with varying load and axial load capacities. Significant measurements for aerospace bearings include outside diameter, bore size, and overall width. Metric and English or imperial pitch bearings are also available on the market. Generally, manufacturers use a standard numbering system for bearings with metric diameter bores.

Aerospace bearings employ several bearing designs. Uses of bearings of different designs are expected to boost the global aerospace bearings market. Conrad bearings rotate in a deep groove machined into inner and outer races; these display good radial load capacity, fair axial load capacity, and sufficient ability to resist misalignment. A cage maintains ball space. Double row angular contact ball bearings carry two rows of balls in one inner and outer ring. Spherical roller bearings are double row, self-aligning, combination radial and thrust bearings; the rolling element is a spherical (or crowned) roller. Spherical roller bearings possess outstanding capacity for high loads and tolerance to shock loads, but exhibit limited speed capabilities. Needle rollers feature a cylindrical design with a long and thin rolling element (relative to its diameter). Needle roller bearings possess low cross sections but a high radial load carrying capacity; these have an outer ring, a cage, and an inner ring.

Aerospace Bearings Market Growth

Applications of aerospace bearings include those in military aircraft, helicopters, and missile systems; such applications are expected to boost the global aerospace bearings market. These bearings are employed in commercial passenger jets produced by companies including Boeing, Airbus, Piper, Cessna, Learjet, and McDonnell-Douglas. Some manufacturers alter standard ball bearings for military or civilian applications including special requirements. For example, aerospace bearings can be heat-treated or sealed against chemicals or extreme temperatures. Coatings and plating such as dry film, thick or thin dense chrome, zinc nickel, and silver are also available. Lubrication and relubrication options are intended to assist devices that operate at high and low temperature extremes.

High-quality Products by Leading Companies Likely to Boost Market Growth

Leading companies offer bearings for the aerospace industry; high-quality products by reputed manufacturers are expected to boost the global aerospace bearings market. For example, RBC offers a full line of airframe control ball bearings to the aerospace industry. RBC airframe control ball bearings conform to SAE-AS7949 (formerly MIL-B-7949) and many major OEM specifications. These bearings are of lightweight design, corrosion-resistant, grease-lubricated, and typically sealed. Airframe control bearing rings and balls are manufactured from hardened bearing alloy, AISI 52100, with all exposed surfaces, except bearing bore, caps and seals, plated for corrosion protection. For improved corrosion protection, RBC offers bearings made of hardened stainless-steel alloy, AISI 440C. The alloy may be passivated or plated with cadmium or zinc nickel for enhanced corrosion protection.

RBC supplies airframe control bearings in “Standard” as well as “Precision” series. The prefix “M” in a bearing number signifies that it is of a precision series. While designed and produced under demanding quality control requirements for airborne systems, these bearings are also used in several industrial applications, where oscillatory movement, high loads, or corrosive environments are prevalent.

Jaco Aerospace offers a wide range of aircraft bearings. The bearings are made of a host of materials, including carbon chrome steel, stainless steel, ceramic, and tool steel, among others.  Jaco carries a wide variety of engineered designs of aircraft bearings, lubrication types, and various treatments and natures of coating.
