“Our company designs and manufactures composite helicopter blades up to 8 meters in length. These blades operate in wet and dry temperatures ranging from -25 degrees C to 45 degrees C. The interface between the blade and the rotor head adapter, as well as the interface between the blade adapter and the rotor head consists of bonded Vesconite spacers. Vesconite was selected on the basis of its self-lubricating properties and ability to prevent fretting. The result has been excellent.”
