Carter to promote space heritage at Airshow

Carter Manufacturing (hall 1, stand 031) says the Farnborough Airshow will provide an ideal opportunity to showcase its technical expertise in supplying specialist aerospace bearings and aerospace bearing tool services.

Carter benefits from the all-important status of ‘space heritage’ having had direct involvement in providing complete design and engineering support for prestigious ESA and NASA applications. From critical space to commercial aerospace applications, Carter provides precision bearings which are AS9120B and EN ISO9001:2015 certified, including hybrid, thin section, spherical plain and miniature, which are LNG, LOX, CH⁴, LH2 and LN2 compatible.

In addition to supplying specialist bearings, Carter also offers the full range of UNASIS aerospace bearing tools which are currently being specified by key customers in the space sector. These tools enable the correct installation of precision aerospace bearings which is critical to harness the full potential of a bearing’s performance and safety of operation. The repercussions of a poorly installed bearing can be far reaching, regardless of whether you are installing a bearing into an airframe assembly, a main shaft on a jet engine, or a suspension system.

With a comprehensive range of tools in stock, as well as the ability to work with a customer to design bespoke tools, UNASIS can cater to all its customers’ aerospace bearing tooling needs. Other tooling services include install and remove, swage, proof load and torque test along with custom tools and kits.

Carter also offers a range of completely controllable UNASIS aerospace bearing heaters, specifically designed to meet the exacting demands of the aerospace sector for a wide range of bearing sizes with an O/D of 25mm up to 600mm and weights from just 100g up to 600kg.
