Al-Ti lightweight bearings - 50 % less weight
HIRSCHMANN lightweight bearings reach a weight reduction of approx. 50% compared to standard bearings but at same performance data.The lightweight bearings are excellently qualified for following application fields:
- rotor blade controls
- tale unit controls
- rudder controls
- door mechanism
- landing gear
Ultra-light hybrid Tie Rods
Our newest development in cooperation with company Teufelberger are ultra-light tie rods made of Al-Ti bearings and a connection rod made of a multilayer hollow mesh of HTA40 (fibre certified for aerospace, with M=230GPa).Metal-Composite Connection
The patented connection (T-IGEL®*) between the hollow mesh and the titanium bearing part is form and force fitted with joint strength up to 1.500 N/Pin (~ 60 N/mm2) and quantifiable failure probability.Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM)
Resin injection and hardening take place in a closed tool (press 130 tons).Components overview
