Airframe Control Ball Bearings
Originally designed for airframe and flight control systems, these advanced solutions are utilized in a variety of demanding applications with oscillating motion or slow intermittent rotation.
Reliable solutions for mission-critical assemblies.
Including twenty-seven different bearing types in single and double row configurations as well as standard and precision grades in compliance with SAE AS7949.
Airframe Control Ball Bearings
The Airframe Control Ball Bearings supplied by MinebeaMitsumi Aerospace companies are manufactured per Aerospace Standards SAE AS7949 and standards set by the industry’s major OEMs. Their low coefficient of friction and low torque make this type of product suitable for flight control actuation systems and many other applications with oscillating motion or slow, intermittent rotation. Precision-grade Airframe Control Bearings provide excellent radial and axial positioning. The entire product family of Airframe Control Ball Bearings includes twenty-seven specific sub-types, in Standard and Precision grades. Additionally, we offer many component options to enhance performance and extend operating life.
