HYE-Tech Manufacturing develops new design for drive bearings

The design team at HYE-Tech Manufacturing, LLC has announced it has developed a new design for the drive bearings (2543734HT) installed in all Model 250 Series Power Turbine Governors. Currently, the OEM drive bearings must be replaced every 1,200 hours in accordance with CEB-1413. Even though this “repetitive replacement requirement” is not applicable to HYE-Tech’s current design, HYE-Tech decided to take the lead and design a new drive bearing, rather than wait for the OEM. Testing has shown that its newly designed drive bearings have a significantly lower noise reading than that of the current OEM bearings. Visit HYE-Tech at HAI Heli-Expo Booth No. 1400.
