Aerospace and Aircraft Bearings
Aircraft track rollers, airframe control bearings, spherical and rod end bearings, and instrument bearings from New Hampshire Ball Bearings, Timken, Barden, Specline, Aurora and many others are supported by Jaco Aerospace.
Bearings carry load in places where inspection access is limited and a failure in service isn't recoverable. Control surfaces, landing gear, engine accessories, and actuation systems all depend on them. That's why the material grade, the heat treatment, and the paperwork behind a bearing matter as much as the part number stamped on it.
Our bearing inventory serves private industry, commercial fleets, military programs, and space applications. Materials run from carbon chrome steel and stainless to ceramic and tool steel, with engineered designs, lubrication types, and coating treatments to match the operating environment the bearing is going into.
Bearing Types We Support
Airframe Control and Rod End Bearings
Precision bearings for flight control linkages, actuation systems, and anywhere a joint needs to articulate under load.
Spherical Bearings
Self-aligning designs that handle misalignment and multi-axis movement in structural and control applications.
Aircraft Track Rollers
Built for flap tracks, slat mechanisms, and cargo systems where the bearing rolls along a machined surface under repeated cycling.
Ball, Cylindrical Roller, and Needle Roller Bearings
The workhorses of rotating assemblies, selected by load direction, radial space available, and speed.
Thrust Bearings
For axial loads in gearboxes, accessory drives, and rotating assemblies where the force runs parallel to the shaft.
Self-Lubricating and Journal Sleeve Bearings
Liner-based and plain designs for locations where relubrication isn't practical after installation.
Instrument and Miniature Bearings
Small-bore precision bearings for gyros, sensors, actuators, and avionics hardware.
Cam Bearings
Follower designs for mechanisms that convert rotation into linear motion.
Bearing Manufacturers We Support
We distribute bearings from New Hampshire Ball Bearings, Timken, Specline, Barden, Valley-Todeco, Galaxy, and Aurora. Every bearing ships with the traceability documentation your receiving inspection and your customer's records both require, covering material certification and lot history back to the manufacturer.

Why Buy Aircraft Bearings from Jaco Aerospace
Bearing failures usually trace back to sourcing rather than design. A part that arrives without complete documentation, or that came from a supply chain nobody can reconstruct, is a problem waiting for an audit. Our bearings are fully traceable, and the documentation follows the part rather than showing up later.
We stock both ends of the demand curve: single bearings for a repair station working one aircraft, and production quantities for OEM and MRO programs. Orders ship worldwide.
Choosing the Right Bearing
Bore size and load rating narrow the field, but they rarely finish the job. Operating temperature, contamination exposure, whether relubrication is possible after installation, and the required lubricant type all shape the right answer. A self-lubricating liner makes sense in a sealed location that maintenance won't reach again for years. It's the wrong call where a standard greased bearing would be serviced on schedule anyway. If you're working from an OEM callout or looking for an approved alternate, our team can help you choose the right cross-reference instead of guessing from a dimensional match.
