# Contamination and Corrosion in Aviation Bearings

## Contamination and Corrosion

Aviation bearings are exposed to fuel, oils, hydraulic fluids, salts, and aggressive environments.

## Sources of Contamination

- Aviation fuels — JP-8, Jet A-1
- Oils — synthetic esters
- Hydraulic fluids — Skydrol
- Salts — during marine operations

## Consequences

- Corrosion of raceways
- Chemical impact on materials
- Lubricant contamination
- Accelerated wear

## MS Bearing Solutions

We offer bearings with anti-corrosion coatings and resistance to chemical impacts.
