Industria Bearings
Industria supports many different types of aircraft and their associated ground equipment. Both our civil and military markets are extensively catered for. Industria have helped develop unique solutions for particularly punishing environments.

Industria also supports many space related projects of various magnitudes. Although the use of bearings in vacuum environments with large temperature ranges can cause difficulties we presently supply Ampep products for various satelite applications.
We can also supply specialist lubrication for vacuum environments with large temperature ranges.
Industria is now gaining an increasing amount of work on vintage aircraft. With companies such as the Shuttleworth collection, Prop shop, Flying Ledgends and The Fighter collection, we are becoming involved in reclaiming and remaking bearings that ceased production many years ago.
As vintage aircraft are restored, inevitably bearings will be found and need replacing or reconditioning.
Aerospace - Specialist Bearings…
Industria offers a unique services which is unmatched by others. We can offer a made to measure service for hybrid bearings. We have many applications with requirements which catalogue standard bearings cannot match. Because of this we can supply tailored solutions which will extend a bearings performance envelope while retaining standard overall dimensions. Solutions can involve the use of:
- High speed steels
- None magnetic rings/rolling elements
- Ceramic components
- Solid & light weight tough cages
- Solid lubricants
- Various plating treatments
High Speed bearings
Our latest addition to the aerospace field is that of ultra high speed hybrid bearings for model aircraft gas turbines and industrial turbines.
These bearings come under some of the most punishing environments possible. Problems include;
- Speeds between 100 to 120,000 RPM and tested up to 144,000 RPM !!
- Temperature range 200 to 250°C
- Unbalanced turbine blades
- Ingress of unclean bleed air
- Irregular oil mist lubrication
Industria can now offer a bearing which remains stable and will combat all of the above. Based on the 608 size, this hybrid deep groove ball bearing…..
We can also offer a full compliment bearing (no retainer) which some users prefer for the turbine end of the turbine. (Due to the ceramic material, superior wear characteristics are observed on ball/ball contact).
It also worth noting that for Industrial turbines different sizes (other than 608) can be made depending on the quantities required.
