Fafnir bearings are produced in two basic designs for
the exacting demands of commercial
and military aircraft. They are
specifically designed to meet requirements of extreme temperature, low
torque, high loads, misalignment and low mass. Fafnir control bearings generally consist of an inner
and outer ring with a complement of precision balls, a seal or shield
and, in some cases, a
cage or separator. These bearings are typically used in flight control
surfaces. The full-complement
type is intended for
applications requiring high loads and oscillating motion. The cage-type is intended
for low
torque, lighter loads, intermittent rotation and long life. Fafnir control
bearings are available
with either standard or precision tolerances.
Torrington is a qualified producer of control bearings
as specified under
MIL-B-7949.
Fafnir rod end bearings are sealed unit assemblies with an integral
shank for mounting. A spherical
outer raceway and either
a double row of
balls or a single row of spherical rollers permit up to ±10° of
misalignment between the inner ring and outer ring
(banjo). Shanks can be
supplied with internal or
external threads, hollow or solid. Torrington is
a qualified producer of rod end
bearings as specified
under MIL-B-6039 and
NAS standards.
