AW

AW Series Aerospace Spherical Bearings Overview

Metal-to-Metal High Temperature Design

• Load Ratings: Engineered for short-term high-temperature exposure. These ratings do not apply to continuous use at the specified maximum temperature.
• Radial Clearance: Maintains a free-running condition with a maximum clearance of 0.002 inches, ensuring smooth operation under varying thermal loads.

Applications

The AW Series is ideal for aerospace systems requiring momentary resistance to elevated temperatures, such as flight control linkages and high-load joints where metal-to-metal contact and minimal thermal deformation are critical.

Important Considerations

While these bearings perform well under brief heat exposure, they are not recommended for sustained operation at extreme temperatures. Continuous use beyond rated conditions may affect performance and lifespan.
