Product Spotlight: THK Aerospace Products

The aerospace industry requires high performance systems and components that can withstand extreme conditions. Motion control products from THK are designed specifically for use in vacuums and challenging aerospace environments. Their LM Guides, Ball Splines and Ball Screws are the trusted solution in aviation equipment manufacturing, ranging from spacecraft bodies to seat mechanisms.

Seat Sliding Mechanisms

THK’s SR Linear Motion Guides are ideal for the seat sliding mechanism in small aircraft. Because aircraft floors are typically made from sheet metal, measuring errors in mounting sections are common, making the process time-consuming. However, thanks to the error-absorbing capabilities of Model SR, they can be mounted directly onto the aircraft floor, significantly reducing assembly work. In addition, THK’s Miniature LM Guide, Model RSR, not only offers seamless and play-free movement but are also compact enough to be used in seat footrests.

Linear Motion Guide

The LM Guide (Linear Motion Guide) is at the heart of THK’s product line-up. They successfully incorporated a part with a linear rolling motion, paving the way for unprecedented advancements in aerospace and other numerous industries. Not only does this showcase their expertise and dedication to engineering excellence but also marks a significant milestone in the history of motion control technology. THK LM Guides provide seamless and precise linear motion. Learn Mo re

Ball Spline

The Ball Spline is a groundbreaking spline bearing that serves as a rolling guide. It features a ball that rolls along a groove connected to the shaft. It not only enables the transmission of torque during linear movements but also increases the allowable loads of linear bushings. Lea rn More

Ball Screw

The Ball Screw is a high-efficiency feed screw with the rolling motion of a ball between the screw axis and the nut. In comparison to traditional sliding screws, THK’s ball screws only require a third of the drive torque, making it the perfect choice for conserving power in drive motors. Learn Mo re
