Every aircraft has unique stress points. A generic bearing often leads to over-engineering or premature failure. This is why leading OEMs turn to NHBB bearings. With access to six unique liner formulations, NHBB bearings offer a customized approach to tribology that adapts to your specific application, whether it’s a high-speed rotor pitch control or a heavy-load landing gear hinge.

Selecting the Right NHBB Bearing for Your Application

Our engineering team helps you navigate the right choice from the NHBB bearings portfolio:

• For General Aviation & Flight Controls: The NHBB bearings featuring Minelon® ST and Oscimax® XT are the industry gold standard, exceeding AS81934 qualifications for reliable, long-life performance.

• For Ultra-Low Friction Needs: When torque sensitivity is critical, NHBB bearings with the XY or XZ formulations provide the smoothest motion available, perfect for fly-by-wire feedback loops.

• For Heavy Duty Landing Gear: Don’t risk it with standard parts. NHBB bearings formulated with XG technology are built to absorb the massive impact loads of touchdown and taxiing.

• For Thick Section Requirements: Unique to our lineup, NHBB bearings with the XB formula allow for thicker liners without sacrificing structural integrity, solving niche design constraints.

From Prototype to Production with NHBB Bearings

Speed to market is crucial. NHBB bearings are designed for rapid prototyping and seamless integration. Because the liners are machinable, we can produce complex geometries quickly, allowing you to test NHBB bearings in your actual assembly faster than competitors.

• Complex Geometries: Need a non-standard shape? NHBB bearings can be machined into intricate forms that act as both a bearing and a structural fretting buffer.

• Global Approval: With AS81934 approval and pending AS81820 status, specifying NHBB bearings means you are choosing a path already validated by major aerospace authorities.
