SKF Aerospace is a leader in aeroengine, airframe and elastomeric bearings, composite structural solutions, seals, sealing rings and related technologies. SKF Aerospace in the UK designs and manufactures high technology self-lubricating plain bearings for aerospace applications.
SKF Aerospace has design and manufacturing locations in the US, France, UK, and Italy. Our highly engineered solutions for the next generation of helicopters, aircraft and engines include:
- Light-weight, energy-saving, higher power-density bearings
- Extended-life, maintenance-free spherical plain bearings
- Composite technologies for lightweight structural parts
- Intelligent bearings for aerospace systems condition monitoring
- Bearing compartment carbon seals including lift technology for longer life and lower heat generation
We specialize in pushing the boundaries of bearing technology, design and manufacturing to offer the best value to our customers. SKF is seeking partners for development of bearing solutions for aerospace applications. We are open to opportunities for joint Product Development and Research & Development.
As part of the SKF Group of companies we benefit from both a highly specialized understanding of our industry with the global presence and backing of a large multinational business.
SKF's expertise includes design and manufacture of:
- Rolling element bearings: engine, gearbox, thin-section, flight control
- Spherical plain bearings
- Self-lubricating, maintenance-free
- Metal-to-metal: swaged, split ball, loader slot
- Journal bearings & assemblies
- Rod-end and link-end assemblies
- Composite rods and structural attachments
- Elastomeric motion-control and isolation devices
- Elastomeric seals
- Carbon seals and sealing rings
We specialize in producing custom variants on these products to suit the specific demands of customers' applications.
SKF Aerospace's fixed-wing application solutions include flight controls, engine attachments, doors, and landing gear. These solutions are deployed on aircraft such as the A320, A320 NEO, A350, A380, B787, B777X, B737MAX.
Our solutions allow customers to increase maintenance intervals, achieve greater loads, reduce component size and weight, and reduce bearing integration complexity.
