Special bearings encompass application-specific bearing designs engineered to meet demanding aerospace load, environmental, or kinematic requirements that fall outside standard catalogue geometries, including duplex-mounted configurations, split-race designs, oscillating-contact types, and hybrid arrangements combining rolling and sliding elements, manufactured to tight ABEC or RBEC tolerances using advanced tribological coatings such as PVD and DLC.
