Aircraft Bearings
Schatz airframe bearings are used in airframe applications, flight control systems for fly-by-wire and conventional flight controls.
- Use these precision bearings with actuators, drivelines, gearboxes, and mechanisms for flaps, slats, and spoilers as well as horizontal and vertical stabilizers and landing gear.
- This product category includes lightweight, corrosion-resistant airframe control bearings and many other designs including thin section bearings
Space Bearings
Space bearings are designed for mission-critical applications and many times operate under vacuum conditions.
- These aerospace bearings are used in reaction wheels, actuation systems, robotic arms, indexing and optical imaging applications, and gimbal instruments.
- Space bearings are also used in radar systems, satellites, ground vehicles such as the Mars Rover, and in other outer space applications.
Custom Bearings
Schatz designs and manufactures many specialty bearings for aerospace applications.
- These bearings are used in challenging operating conditions, such as under heavy loads including shock loads, torque sensitive mechanisms, applications requiring high precision and accuracy, and contaminated and corrosive environments.
- This product category includes bearings with many specialty features, such as special internal components and geometry, custom enclosures, and state-of-the-art materials.
- Many of our standard products can be modified for application-specific requirements such as a higher precision level, lower starting torque, or for corrosion resistance.
