For decades, Kamatics (USA) and RWG (Germany) have been designing, testing, and manufacturing the highest performing bearings and flight critical parts in the industry—excelling under the most demanding conditions. Our proven innovations have kept us in front in our industry—and helped clients keep out in front of theirs.

We draw on over 40 years of experience and work hand-in-hand with our customers to tailor the optimal self-lubricating bearing liner for each application. Our advanced research teams continually test and introduce new technologies and materials to support the evolving demands of the industry.

Our operations perform at the same high level as our products. With facilities in both the USA (Kamatics) and Germany (RWG), it is vital to implement great process and sound automation to ensure quality, reliability, short lead-times, and low cost. At Kaman, we invest heavily in formal training of operators, quality inspectors, engineers, and management personnel.

Our field engineers are on-site all over the globe, providing customers with hands-on, immediate support. We assist in the design of new platforms, help solve problems with legacy platforms, and offer new technologies for future offerings. Our inside sales team and design engineers support field engineering and customers with reports, drawings, technical data and unparalleled service levels.

From Commercial to Combat, This is Where Innovation Is Born

Our bearings and engineered components are custom designed for civil aircraft in flight controls, landing gear, doors, actuators, engines, and for structural attachment points. Because KAron self-lubricating bearings can perform under higher loads and at lower friction coefficients, we can offer smaller and lighter solutions that fit into tighter envelopes.

Marine and Hydro For our Marine and Hydro customers, we have reduced life cycle costs, improved operational readiness, and extended the time between overhaul periods. Our KAron self-lubricated bearings operate dry and submerged, and offer the designer the highest load capacity available, low friction levels, excellent anti-fretting properties. Our bearings are designed to last for decades in harsh environments.
