The right bearing is only part of the solution. Correct installation, testing and removal also matter in demanding aerospace and defence applications.

Our latest article in The Engineer explores how spherical plain bearings support movement and load transfer across flight controls, landing gear and helicopter rotor systems—and how UNASIS tooling supports the maintenance process.

At Carter Manufacturing, we help engineering and MRO teams match bearings and tooling to the requirements of each assembly.

At cryogenic temperatures, every bearing detail matters.

Material selection, internal clearances and lubrication all need careful consideration when engineering bearings for extreme cold.

Carter Manufacturing supplies specialist cryogenic bearings manufactured by our sister company, UNASIS, for demanding applications including liquid hydrogen systems and space technology.

Bringing together Carter’s application expertise and UNASIS’s manufacturing capabilities, we help customers find bearing solutions suited to their operating conditions.

📢 Carter Manufacturing is moving to a new ERP system on 1 October 2026

We’re introducing Odoo, our new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, bringing our sales, purchasing, inventory, customer service and finance processes together.

This investment will help us improve order visibility, internal coordination and the consistency of the documents we provide.

As part of the transition, our invoices, quotations, order acknowledgements and purchase orders will have a different format.

No action is required from our customers or suppliers. Our company details, your usual Carter contacts and our engineering-led service remain the same.

Our bank and payment details remain unchanged.

If you have any questions, please contact your usual Carter representative or call +44 1865 821720.

Thank you for your continued business and support.

Not every bearing challenge can be solved with a standard catalogue part.

Operating temperature, load, speed, materials, lubrication, space constraints and environmental exposure can all influence the right solution.

At Carter Manufacturing, our engineers work with customers to identify suitable standard products, modify existing bearings or develop custom solutions for demanding applications.

Have a technical challenge?

Share your drawing, operating conditions or current part number with our team, and we’ll help you explore the options.
