From June 10 to 14, 2026, the ILA aerospace trade show in Berlin serves as the platform for presenting technical bearing solutions developed by Rodriguez. The focus remains on thin-section bearings and Value Added Products (VAP), which are designed for applications where installation space and mass are primary engineering constraints. These components are utilized across sectors including medical technology, robotics, and aerospace, where high precision and reliability under extreme environmental conditions are mandatory.
Characteristics of thin-section bearing technology
Thin-section bearings are defined by a cross-section that remains constant regardless of the bore diameter. This geometry allows for a substantial reduction in the weight and volume of the bearing assembly compared to standard rolling-element bearings. These components maintain high rotational accuracy and can operate at high speeds. In aerospace contexts, the bearings are engineered to withstand thermal fluctuations and vacuum conditions, providing a solution for satellite mechanisms and aeronautical systems.
System integration through Value Added Products
The Value Added Products division at Rodriguez focuses on the manufacture of integrated system solutions based on internal bearing or linear technology components. These customized assemblies are designed to meet specific application requirements, reducing the number of individual parts and simplifying the final installation process. Specialized adaptations of these bearings have been utilized in orbital missions, including deployment in robotic arms on the exterior of the International Space Station (ISS). The implementation of specialized materials and optimized dimensions ensures compliance with the strict weight and performance standards of space-rated hardware.
Industry dialogue and exhibition details
The presence at ILA 2026 facilitates technical exchange regarding the evolving requirements of the aerospace sector. In an industry where technical reliability and flexible response to new specifications are critical, the exhibition allows for direct communication between component manufacturers and system integrators. Rodriguez will be located in Hall C, Booth 100, during the event to discuss the technical implementation of bearing and linear technologies in complex aerospace projects.
