Developed self-lubricating liner bearings for space rockets that achieve low temperature (-195℃), no grease required, and low friction and low wear!
In the space environment, selecting grease can be challenging due to a wide range of temperatures and evaporation under vacuum, but a special PTFE liner that can withstand temperatures down to -195°C has addressed these issues. 【Features】 • Mainly bonded to the sliding surfaces of bearings/bushings • Heat resistance from -195°C to +232°C fits special environments such as space and engines • Low friction • No grease required • Chemical resistance to common aviation hydraulic fluids 【Product Description】 • A non-lubricated liner made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) fibers, woven with resin and auxiliary fibers that provide strength and durability. • The liner is bonded to the sliding parts of metal spherical bearings, rod end bearings, rod assemblies, and bushings.

Applications/Examples of results
In addition, our company imports and sells bearings and machined parts specialized for aerospace. Manufacturers certified with AS9100 collaborate with major aircraft manufacturers such as the U.S. military, NASA, Boeing, and Lockheed. Below are some examples of their successes: - Fuse pins (achieving emergency breakage design for hollow large pins with required load and high-precision breakage mode) - HVOF coating (coating actuator sliding surfaces to enhance lifespan; an alternative technology to hard chrome plating) - Track roller bearings for aircraft wings (manufacturers also possess rare testing equipment compatible with QT) - Special alloy bearings and bushings (titanium, CuNiSn, Inconel) - Drum-type roller bearings (ensuring grease spreads uniformly around the circumference even under oscillation of wing components, achieving long lifespan) - Ultra-thin ball bearings (adopting thin types for large flap drive devices) - Tapered roller bearings (standardly used for landing wheels)
