Tail and Main Rotor Bearings
LORD Corporation's high capacity laminate (HCL) elastomeric tail and main rotor bearings not only provide superior motion accommodation in a variety of aerospace applications, but also lower aircraft operating costs. These bearings give rotorcraft designers precise control over stiffness and damping in all the connection degrees of freedom. Elastomeric bearings are also used in a variety of agricultural and construction vehicles, where they effectively lower the vehicle's operating costs.
Features and Benefits
- Reduced maintenance — Requires no lubrication
- Longer life — Impervious to contaminants that would ruin traditional bearings
- Easy inspection — Visual inspection indicates approaching end of life
- Controllable dynamic properties — Stiffness and damping are engineered for the applications
