Aerospace Wear Parts We Are Uniquely Equipped to Manufacture Precision Shafts & Rotating Components

Our Turning Center of Excellence produces shafts, bearing surfaces, and cylindrical components from tough‑to‑machine exotic alloys, supported by advanced coatings to reduce wear, leakage, and corrosion.
Applications include:

  • Actuator shafts
  • Fuel & hydraulic system shafts
  • Electric motor / APU shafts
  • Accessory gearbox shafts

Bearing, Seal & Wear Surfaces

Our engineered coatings dramatically extend life on:

  • Seal lands
  • Wear sleeves
  • Bushings
  • Valve wear surfaces
    These solutions reduce leakage, combat abrasive seal wear, and resist corrosion in high‑load, dynamic aerospace systems.

Gears, Gear Blanks & Power Transmission Wear Components

Leveraging advanced metallurgy, proprietary heat treatment, and thermal spray, we support:

  • Actuation system gears
  • Landing gear wear surfaces
  • High‑torque motion‑control gears

High Temperature, High Velocity Wear Components

Ideal for propulsion, pneumatic, and thermal‑management systems:

  • Erosion‑resistant housings
  • Nozzle wear surfaces
  • High‑velocity fluid wear components

Lightweight Structural Wear Parts

Our multi‑axis machining and laser cutting capabilities support aluminum, stainless, titanium, Inconel, and composite structures requiring repeatable wear resistance and tight tolerances.

Metallurgy Led Engineering Advantages

Fisher Barton’s Technology Center provides aerospace‑grade materials science support, including:

  • SEM & laser microscopy
  • ASTM wear testing (abrasion, erosion, metal‑on‑metal)
  • Microstructure engineering
  • Alloy selection and optimization
  • Prototyping, design validation & performance modeling

This data‑driven approach ensures every component is engineered at the material, microstructure, and surface level to survive aerospace duty cycles.

Surface Engineering for Extreme Aerospace Wear

Aerospace applications benefit directly from Fisher Barton’s full suite of engineered coating technologies:

Thermal Spray Coatings

  • HVOF
  • Plasma
  • Wire arc
  • PTA
    These coatings create dense, high‑bond‑strength surfaces that resist erosion, galling, friction, and corrosion in high‑temperature, high‑stress environments.

Laser Cladding & Advanced Bonding

Used to apply metallurgically bonded overlays for critical wear surfaces—ideal for shafts, valves, actuation interfaces, and lightweight structural wear points.

Precision Machining for Aerospace Components

Fisher Barton delivers high‑precision components backed by multi‑axis CNC machining, Swiss machining, large‑capacity turning, in‑process CMM inspection, and automated quality controls.
Capabilities include:

  • Components from 0.125 in to 72 in
  • Exotic alloys (titanium, Inconel, hardened steels)
  • Swiss turning & large‑format machining

Our machining facilities are ISO 9001:2015 certified and ITAR‑registered, supporting secure aerospace and defense supply chains.

ITAR Registered, Secure & Aerospace Ready

Fisher Barton maintains secure, compliant workflows for defense and aerospace programs.

  • ITAR registered
  • ISO 9001:2015 certified
  • Full traceability from raw material to final inspection

Aerospace customers rely on us for short‑lead‑time prototyping, high‑mix production, and replacement of hard‑to‑source or discontinued components.
