Bearing Swaging
Assembly
American Precision Assembly provides precision bearing swaging services for aerospace and defense assemblies where secure mechanical retention is required. Bearing swaging is a specialized process used to permanently secure installed bearings within structural housings by mechanically forming surrounding material.
In aerospace manufacturing, components must withstand vibration, temperature changes, and repeated operational loads. Precision bearing swaging ensures the bearing remains securely retained while maintaining proper alignment and structural integrity.
American Precision Assembly performs controlled swaging operations using specialized aerospace tooling and repeatable procedures designed for high-reliability assemblies.
What is Bearing Swaging?
Bearing swaging is a mechanical retention method that forms material around the outer diameter of a bearing after installation. This controlled deformation locks the bearing into position within the housing.
This method is widely used in aerospace structural assemblies and precision mechanical systems where traditional fasteners are not practical.
- Permanent bearing retention
- Resistance to vibration and operational loads
- Maintained bearing alignment
- Long-term structural reliability
