AHT

AHT Series Aerospace Spherical Bearings Overview

High Misalignment, Self-Lubricating Design

• Operating Temperature Range: -65°F to 325°F. Wider temperature tolerances can be achieved upon request, depending on application requirements.
• Custom Options:
  • Bearings with PH13-8Mo balls are indicated with the suffix “13-8” (e.g., ADBY16-13-8(L)).
  • For cadmium-plated outer races per AMS-QQ-P-416, Type II, Class 2, the suffix “P” is used (e.g., ADBY16VP(L)).
• Liner Qualification: The self-lubricating liner is fully approved per AS81820 aerospace standards, ensuring long-lasting, maintenance-free performance.

Applications

The AHT Series is ideal for aerospace control systems, landing gear, and structural joints where high misalignment capability and low maintenance are essential. These bearings provide smooth, reliable motion in applications exposed to thermal extremes and mechanical loads.

Engineering Notes

Selection of suffix options (e.g., “13-8” or “P”) allows engineers to tailor bearing performance and corrosion resistance to specific operational environments. Compliance with AS81820 ensures compatibility with military and aerospace system specifications.
