NHBB Qualifies to New Boeing Specification
August 23, 2010 (Laconia, NH): NHBB was first to qualify and is currently the sole source on Boeing's new BACB10JV standard. Released Friday, August 8, 2010, the new standard specifies a copper-nickel-tin ball as a replacement to beryllium-copper. From an environmental standpoint, copper-nickel-tin is a cleaner, safer alternative to beryllium-copper.
In addition to the Boeing specification, NHBB offers greased bearings containing copper-nickel-tin balls for a wide range of aerospace applications, including landing gear, flight control, and actuator systems. If you are looking for a substitute to beryllium-copper in your application, please contact the Product Engineering group at the Astro Division.
