Helicopters are among the most versatile machines in the modern world. They have become invaluable in many areas of life, from rescue operations in emergency situations, across military missions, to cargo transport or people fast transport.
Key parts of any helicopter are bearings, which ensure smooth and stable movement of rotating parts such as propellers and gearboxes.
At AKE Skalica we produce bearings of the highest quality that meet technical requirements of helicopter manufacturers, achieve optimum performance, long service life, even in the most demanding conditions. You will see the quality of AKE bearings manifest in the development of prototype bearings for customized helicopter components, in small series production, with our ability to flexibly ramp up the production.
The fundamental key characteristic of bearings in the aviation industry is that they have the same and stable operating capability under changing in-flight conditions such as temperature, rotational speed and load. The effect is an extended bearing lifetime.
In the aircraft industry, AKE bearings must withstand extreme thermal loads and sudden temperature changes from the environment or from their own operation.
The design and special materials such as the steel 52100, AMS6440, AMS6444, HSS M50, HSS M50 Nil predestine AKE bearings to cope with the changing high speed range as well as high static and dynamic loads caused by gravity and impacts during take-off and landing, as well as manoeuvring of helicopters during flight.
In airspace, every ounce counts. That is why we develop AKE aviation bearings to be lightweight while retaining properties such as durability, precision, speed and load capacity.
