Landing gears - Import export

Aircraft applications demand bushings and bearings that deliver outstanding durability, to ensure consistent performance despite changes in temperature and air pressure. We have led the industry in the production of Pfinodal® (C72900) with superior bearing properties for aircraft landing gear material. Our production processes and heat treatments combine to ensure the high hardness required in a bearing material for aircraft bearing sleeves, and bushings for landing gear. Products We offer Pfinodal® (UNS C72900) that delivers superior mechanical and physical properties in comparison to conventional high-performance alloys. The material has been in use for more than 20 years under patent numbers 5527113 and 5552106 for rock bit bearing applications before the aerospace industry also moved towards these bushing sleeve materials for their anti-galling, low friction and high hardness characteristics.

Fine Tubes is a leading supplier of aerospace hydraulic tubes where they are deployed in the airframes and engines of both commercial and military aircraft. Our thin wall tubes are used to actuate flight control surfaces that bear heavy aerodynamic loads such as flaps and slats. They are also crucial components in aircraft landing gear and brake systems. Trusted by Major Airframe Manufacturers Fine Tubes is one of only a handful of tube mills worldwide qualified to produce the titanium tubing used for the 5,000psi high-pressure hydraulic systems of the Airbus family. Titanium provides a weight saving of 42% compared to the equivalent quantity of traditional stainless steel tubing. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Superior Tube is a leading supplier of hydraulic tubes to the aerospace industry where our products are deployed in the engines and airframes of both commercial and military aircraft. Our thin wall tubes are used to actuate flight control surfaces such as flaps and slats, and are also crucial components in landing gear and brakes. The high quality tubes we manufacture provide the extra force required to move large control surfaces that bear heavy aerodynamic loads, and are critical to the safe operation of the aircraft. As such they have a high strength to weight ratio. Their effectiveness is important when it comes to aircraft operating costs, particularly where fuel consumption is concerned. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.
