Kaydon was the Pioneer and is the world leader in Thin section Bearing technology. Their comparative light weight and small cross section make them particularly suitable for a huge variety of military applications.

The overwhelming majority of these are "fit and forget" and will never be replaced. However, there are certain applications where, due to their critical nature (swashplate bearings) or the extremely demanding operating environment (landing wheel bearings) have to be replaced at pre-determined intervals.

Kahr Bearing specialise in non-standard an purpose designed spherical, Rod End and Journal bearings both lined & unlined. They are used extensively in both fixed and rotary wing aircraft for high load, high wear applications such as pitch change link, stabilizer, and landing gear hinge pin and dragstays. They are replaced either at pre-determined intervals or "on-condition". Often, these bearings can be refurbished.
