AMPEP Third‐Generation Self‐Lubricating Plain Bearings

Abstract

IN order to meet aircraft constructor requirements for higher performance/ longer life airframe and flying control bearings, AMPEP has developed and established their new ‘XL’ system. This is a true third‐generation friction pair significantly applicable to bearings used in active flight control mechanisms on helicopters, fixed wing and tilt‐rotor aircraft.
