Custom Aerospace Ball Bearings

Machined or moulded, this is a low cost and light weight option suitable for standard applications.

High temperature resistance and vacuum compatibile, this material excels in extreme environments.

A widely used material due to low-cost and chemical resistance.

Very light weight material which is easily reinforced with complimentary fibres such as fabric or glass which makes it ideal for high speeds.

Precision machined components with high durability. Can run at higher temperatures at higher speeds.

Titanium’s weight to strength ratio is second to none. This is a last resort cage material due to cost but could be necessary.

This arrangement has no physical cage and an increased ball compliment. This increases radial load capacity but drastically reduces axial.

Spacer balls are best used to reduce torque in low speed or oscilating applications.

Molybdenum Disulphide coatings reduce the coefficient of friction and increase speed capabilities.

Tungsten Disulphide Coatings eliminate the need for liquid lubrication and are commonly used in Aerospace, space, ultra-high vacuum and clean room applications.

Thin Dense Chrome Coating increases wear and corrosion resistance of standard chrome steels to outperform stainless steel.

Polymer injected and cured lubrication acts as a complete shield while continuously lubrication the bearing.

A full range of standard plating is also available such as Cadmium and Zinc-Nickel.

Specialist dry film lubrications can drastically improve bearing performance when chosen properly.

Flight critical Aerospace bearings require lubrication with particular temperature characteristics and chemical traceability. A full range of Aerospace Approved Oils and Greases are available.

When used in deep space or in a ultra-high vacuum chamber, vacuum compatible lubrications are highly unique.

Controlling the power input to run your mechanical system can be mission critical so low torque options are available.

FDA approved food grade greases are readily available at Carter when requested.

Nuclear applications call for non-reactive lubrications to minimize the radiation at time of service so they don’t stay “hot”.

Aerospace grade lubrication can be the best option to ensure low temperatures don’t impact bearing performance.

A myriad of high temperature options are available at Carter from liquid lubrication to solid fill lubrication.

When working in submersible environments, it’s important to specify a grease that will operate properly and not migrate in application.
