Balls and Components of Aircraft Bearings

ICT offers wide variety of parts (balls, rings and cages) in small batches

Components for bearings used in aircraft applications need to meet high standards of quality, reliability, and performance due to the critical role they play in ensuring the safety and functionality of aircraft. Here are the main characteristics and requirements for components like balls, rollers, rings and cages used in aircraft bearings:

• Material Selection: Aircraft bearing components are made from high-quality steels and specialty alloys, all materials that are chosen for their strength, corrosion resistance, and durability in extreme conditions.
• Precision Manufacturing: Each part must be manufactured with extremely tight tolerances and precision in order to ensure that bearings operate smoothly and with minimal friction, reducing wear and tear.
• Surface Finish: The surfaces of balls and rings raceways must have a smooth and uniform finish to minimize friction and reduce the risk
