Aerospace and Specialty Bearings

60+ Years of Innovation in Custom Aerospace Bearings Global competition drives technology innovation, and McGill® bearing innovations have played a pivotal role in aerospace applications for more than 60 years. Reduce weight – increase payload. Improve performance. Reduce size. Increase resistance to corrosion, wear and heat. McGill has done them all, providing significant “lift” for our customers’ bottom lines. We are eager to do it for you, too. McGill has extensive experience processing aerospace materials for custom bearing applications. Specialty steels are used for high temperatures, additional...

Customer Care Critical bearing applications require customer service that is “above and beyond,” and that is what you’ll experience with McGill. We strive to anticipate your needs. We understand there is no room for second place. Our sales and service team sets the industry standard for professionalism when it counts most.
