Bearings & Components for Precision & Specialist Aerospace Applications
Aerospace and precision engineering applications can require components capable of supporting accurate, controlled and repeatable movement across a wide variety of mechanical assemblies.
Precision bearings, angular contact bearings, linear motion components and specialist engineering components are available in different designs, materials, tolerances and configurations to suit a range of operating requirements.
Correct component identification and specification are particularly important in precision applications. For aircraft and aerospace use, always confirm suitability, specification, traceability, certification and approval requirements against the relevant aircraft, system or application documentation.
Components Used in Precision & Specialist Aerospace Applications
Precision Bearings
Precision bearings are designed for applications where accuracy, controlled movement and consistent performance are important.
Different applications may require specific bearing designs, tolerances, internal clearances, materials and lubrication arrangements. Consider rotational speed, load, operating temperature and required accuracy when identifying the correct bearing.
Where possible, use the existing bearing reference, manufacturer information and accurate dimensions when identifying a replacement.
Explore our range of precision bearing solutions.
Angular Contact Bearings
Angular contact bearings are designed to support combined radial and axial loads, with their internal geometry allowing loads to be carried at an angle to the bearing axis.
Different contact angles, arrangements, clearances and precision levels are available depending on the application. Correct selection is particularly important where operating speed, accuracy and axial loading need to be considered.
Use the original bearing reference and relevant technical specifications wherever possible when identifying a replacement.

Linear Motion Components
Linear motion components provide controlled movement along a shaft, rail or other linear path and can be used across precision engineering, positioning and mechanical systems.
Different linear bearing and guide arrangements are available depending on required load capacity, speed, accuracy and operating environment.
When identifying a replacement component, consider the original reference, shaft or rail dimensions, mounting arrangement and application requirements.

Selecting Components for Precision Aerospace Applications
When identifying components for precision aerospace and engineering applications, consider the original part number, dimensions, bearing type, material, tolerance, clearance, load requirements and operating conditions.
Inspect components for wear, corrosion, contamination, surface damage and other signs of deterioration as part of the appropriate inspection and maintenance procedures.
Where a replacement is required, use manufacturer references and technical documentation wherever possible to help identify the correct specification.
For aircraft and aerospace applications, always confirm component suitability, specification, traceability, certification and approval requirements against the relevant aircraft or system documentation before installation.
