We are an authorized agent for Kamatics (U.S.) and RWG (Germany). We can both offer and arrange the manufacturing of high-performance dry bearing systems specially designed for each customer, which feature Kamatics’ machinable, self-lubricating KAron liners, including spherical bearings, journal bearings, rod end bearings, track rollers, pivot bearings and wear pads. These bearing systems are widely used as functional components of aircraft doors, landing gears and wings. RWG’s high-precision ball bearings and customized bearings are used for aerospace applications including Airbus, as well as motorsports applications including the GT500.
Kamatics provides high-precision bearing and drive system solutions for applications in demanding aerospace environments (fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircrafts), as well as general industrial (oil and gas), hydropower, shipping, marine and motorsports applications.
Self-lubricating Bearings：Self-lubricating (Dry running) Bearings
Kamatics’ self-lubricating liners, widely known for high performance and low friction, enable longer product life and lower maintenance costs even in operations in high-moisture, fluid/debris contaminated, high-temperature environments.
Flexible Drive Systems：Flexible Drive Systems
Kamatics’ original line of KAflexR and TufflexR coupling systems are widely deployed for critical rotating applications that demand a high level of performance and safety that cannot be achieved with conventional greased coupling systems or standard flex-element couplings. High torque, superior misalignment capability, and high operating speeds are just a few of the reasons why many customers choose Kamatics products.
Titanium Diffusion Hardening (TDH)：Titanium Diffusion Hardening
Kamatics’ Titanium Diffusion Hardening (TDH) process allows highly efficient, high-load, lightweight bearings.
Wear Strips：Wear Strips
Kamatics offers various types of wear strips, each of which provides unique characteristics to prevent metal-to-metal wear and fretting damage.
Dri Film Lubricant(KFL-DM)：Dry Film Lubricant
KFL-DM, a polymer-based film coating incorporating PTFE and other fillers, is a superior alternative to conventional dry film lubricants. KFL-DM can be applied to many types of surfaces including splines and other complex shaped surfaces. It does not require a final machining process and, can be used in an “as-applied” condition, with the thickness ranging from 0.025 to 0.051mm (.001 to .002 inches).

TiNi Aerospace products offer a variety of solutions for satellites, subsea and aerospace/defense applications, to include the release of satellite solar arrays, subsea ballast releases, launch locks, cable cutters and other types of hold/release components.
Frangebolt
TiNi Aerospace Frangibolt actuator is a simple and effective way to support and release loads up to 20,000 lbf. The principle of operation is simple: A Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) cylinder elongates to fracture a bolt or stud thereby achieving separation of two or more components. Standard Fastener sizes range from # 8 size screws to 3/4” bolts.
Pin puller
TiNi Aerospace Pin Puller is fast acting and suitable for a variety of Aerospace applications. Pin retraction is achieved by coupling the recovery characteristics of Shape Memory Alloys with a patented trigger mechanism. Pin Puller pull force ranges from 5 to 1000 lbf with five standard sizes offered as COTS (Commercial Off the Shelf) items.

Since 1983, Honeybee has completed thousands of projects developing innovative robotics and mechanisms for NASA, the US Department of Defense, and commercial customers.
SmallSat Solar and Drive Assembly (SADA)
Solar Array Drive Actuator designed to accommodate Small-Sat Class spacecraft. Continuous rotation with slip ring for power transfer. May be combined with a flight-qualified Electronics Box for a fully-integrated system. There are other SADAs for MicroSat and CubeSat.
Power & Signal Transfer
For a rotating interface requiring continuous rotation, a slip ring is necessary. If the range of motion is limited, a twist capsule may be a cost-effective alternative. Having supplied electrical transfer subsystems for dozens of flight programs, Honeybee Robotics is intimately familiar with the nuances of design and assembly that enable low drag torque, high reliability, long lifetime, and volume efficiency.
