Special and Low Friction Systems
Unique Applications and Custom Engineered Products to Solve the Toughest Challenges
REDUCE MAINTENANCE AND EXTEND LIFE ON A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS
Kamatics is capable of creating a wide range of engineered products with self-lubricating KAron™ technology to solve the toughest application challenges.
Our Karon™ Engineered Products Are Used in Numerous Applications Across Several Industries, Including:
Commercial Fixed Wing Aircraft
Aircraft Bearings for Commercial Aviation Systems
Aviation bearings engineered for reliability in commercial fixed-wing aircraft landing gear, flight control systems, doors, vertical and horizontal stabilizers. Kamatics aerospace bearings provide grease-free, maintenance-free operation in flight control assemblies and stabilization systems for major aircraft manufacturers.
Commercial and Military Helicopters
Helicopter Bearings for Rotor and Flight Control Systems
Kamatics self-lubricating bearings deliver maintenance-free performance in mission-critical helicopter applications including flight control systems, landing gear systems, damper bearings, swash plate bearings, pitch control systems, and rotor control systems. Our KARON™ spherical bearings and rod end bearings provide reliable, grease-free operation in military rotorcraft and commercial aviation platforms.
Engines
High-Temperature Aerospace Bearings for Engine Components
Specialized self-lubricating bearings for extreme engine environments including turbines, cowlings and doors, and thrust reversers and nacelles. KARON™ high-temperature liners operate continuously up to +700°F, providing reliable performance in high-temp engine systems without grease breakdown.
Space Vehicles and Satellites
Aerospace Bearings for Space and Satellite Applications
Mission-critical bearings for vacuum and extreme temperature environments including flight control systems, power systems, solar array deployment systems, and fuel tank attachment points. Kamatics custom engineered bearings feature low-outgassing KARON™ formulations designed for space applications, with proven performance in thermal cycling and extreme conditions.
Marine
Corrosion-Resistant Marine Bearings for Naval Systems
Self-lubricating bearings engineered for harsh saltwater environments including navigational lock systems, power generation systems, and steering and diving mechanisms. KARON™ liner technology features no moisture path, preventing corrosion that causes premature failure in naval vessels, submarines, and offshore platforms.
Hydropower
Self-Lubricating Industrial Bearings for Hydropower Systems
Kamatics self-lubricating bearings deliver maintenance-free performance for large-scale hydroelectric and hydropower systems including gate systems, Kaplan hub transition mechanisms, and turbine blade angle adjustment. Our KARON™ spherical bearings and bushing bearings provide reliable, grease-free operation in water flow control applications, eliminating costly downtime, scheduled lubrication, and premature failure from moisture exposure.
KAMATICS BEARINGS ARE MADE WITH KARON™ SELF-LUBRICATING LINERS, AVAILABLE IN A RANGE OF VARIETIES
Our liners differ significantly from other self-lubricating materials in that there are no continuous interconnecting fibers or weave that can provide a moisture path to the bonding substrate. A moisture path can promote corrosion under the liner or significant liner swelling when used in a moisture-laden environment.
