Nose-to-tail, our parts guarantee safety, precision and control in aerospace

« The excellence of Bimetal parts: durability, performance, and precision »

Bimetal parts combine the best of two materials to deliver unmatched strength, wear resistance, and longevity. By merging the robustness of steel with the self-lubricating and anti-friction properties of bronze, they provide superior performance in demanding applications. Spherical bearings, sliding bearings and bushings that can survive the toughest conditions.

Benefits

Cavitation Erosion

Valve plates and hold down retainers resist twice as much to cavitation than sintered bronze solutions.

Longer Lifetime

The self-lubricating properties of bronze extend the lifetime of the tribological systems.

Weight and Space

Our parts can take up 50% more load than the tough metal alloys available in the market, making it ideal for bushing applications.
