Tailored testing solutions for aerospace-grade reliability
Case Study
Custom Aerospace testing – proving performance with precision
Durkopp’s reputation for excellence in aerospace bearing development is built not only on product quality but also on our ability to support customers throughout the entire validation process. In one recent project, a leading aerospace manufacturer needed to validate track rollers operating with a titanium interface—a unique challenge due to the material’s demanding properties and the harsh conditions of the application.
To meet this need, Durkopp engineered a custom test bench specifically designed to replicate the customer’s application environment, including the titanium mating surface. This bespoke solution allowed us to simulate real-world conditions with high accuracy and perform rigorous durability testing.
By taking full ownership of the approval process—from product adjustments to test execution—Durkopp not only demonstrated the outstanding quality of its bearings but also helped the customer save significant resources in testing and evaluation. The result was a faster, more efficient validation cycle and a highly satisfied customer confident in the performance of our solution.
