MKB / MKW

MKB / MKW Series Aerospace Spherical Bearings

Product Description

The MKB and MKW Series are self-lubricating spherical bearings designed for demanding aerospace environments. These bearings support oscillating motion and misalignment under heavy loads and high-frequency operation, making them ideal for flight control systems and structural connections.

Standards Compliance

• Bearing sizes -3 through -16 are approved for procurement under AS81820 and Aerospace Standards AS14101 through AS14104.
• Bearing sizes -18 through -24 are not currently covered by existing Aerospace Standards but are available upon request with equivalent performance characteristics.

Operating Temperature Range

Standard operating temperature: -65°F to +325°F in compliance with AS81820. Broader temperature capabilities are available for special applications.

Available Configurations

• Self-lubricating liner for maintenance-free performance
• Narrow and wide series to suit space and load requirements
• Custom designs available upon request

Applications

• Aerospace flight control systems
• Engine mounts and landing gear mechanisms
• Structural articulating joints
