Executive Summary

Aerospace bearings are components used in aerospace applications to reduce load and friction between moving or rotating parts, minimizing radial and axial forces within an aircraft. These bearings play a crucial role in facilitating the movement of various components such as seats, doors, and engine management and flight control systems, ensuring smooth operation without failures.

The main types of bearings in aerospace applications include plain bearings, roller bearings, ball bearings, and others. Plain bearings are particularly utilized in aerospace applications to enhance fuel efficiency, extend maintenance intervals, and reduce carbon emissions. They find installation in various aircraft systems, including wing systems, flight controls, cockpit controls, and auxiliary power units. Aerospace bearings are constructed using materials such as stainless steel, fiber-reinforced composites, engineered plastics, ceramics, and alloys. These materials are employed in different applications across landing gear, cockpit controls, aerostructures, aircraft systems, engines and auxiliary power units (APUs), doors, and aircraft interiors.
