Precision Tools for Precision Manufacturing
When it comes to aerospace bearing installation, the quality of the tooling is just as important as the quality of the bearing itself.

At UNASIS, we design and manufacture precision tooling that helps aerospace manufacturers, MROs and engineering teams achieve consistent, repeatable results — reducing installation errors, improving quality, and helping components perform exactly as intended.

Our capabilities include:
✅ Tri-Roller Swaging Tools
✅ Bearing Removal & Cutting Tools
✅ Installation & Removal Kits
✅ Proof Load & Breakaway Torque Testing Equipment
✅ Custom Tool Design & Engineering
✅ Specialised Testing Solutions

From standard aerospace bearing series to complex bespoke applications, our engineering team works closely with customers to deliver tooling solutions that improve efficiency, quality assurance, and long-term performance.

Because in aerospace manufacturing, precision isn't optional.

When temperatures plunge to -269°C, conventional bearing technology reaches its limits.

Engineered specifically for ultra-low temperature environments, our cryogenic bearings deliver reliable performance in some of the world's most demanding applications — from rocket engine turbopumps and satellite cryocoolers to hydrogen infrastructure, LNG facilities and advanced scientific research. Where failure is simply not an option.

Operating at cryogenic temperatures presents unique engineering challenges. Standard bearing materials become brittle, conventional lubricants freeze solid, and thermal contraction can compromise bearing geometry. These challenges are overcome through advanced materials, specialist cage designs, ceramic rolling elements, proprietary heat treatment processes and validated dry lubrication systems.

Applications include:

Space & Aerospace Systems

Hydrogen Fuel Infrastructure

LNG & Natural Gas Processing

Scientific & Medical Research

Industrial Cryogenic Processes

Every cryogenic application presents its own engineering challenges, which is why our team works closely with customers to develop bearing solutions tailored to their exact requirements. Each bearing undergoes rigorous cryogenic testing to ensure proven performance in extreme environments before it reaches the field.

Whether supporting the future of space exploration, sustainable energy infrastructure, or groundbreaking scientific discoveries, we continue to push the boundaries of bearing performance in the coldest environments on Earth — and beyond.

National Champions Heading to Singapore!

We're absolutely delighted to share that Stellar Racing using—one of the amazing teams we've had the privilege to sponsor—has won the STEM Racing Ireland National Finals UNASIS hybrid ceramic bearings supplied by Carter!

This incredible achievement includes:

✨ 1st Overall

✨ Fastest Car Award

✨ Best Engineered Car Award

✨ Best Portfolios Award

Even better? Stellar Racing has qualified for the Aramco STEM Racing World Finals in Singapore (October 4-8, 2026), where they'll represent Ireland on the global stage.

This success is a testament to the dedication, innovation, and engineering excellence of the entire Stellar Racing team and Marist College. It's also a reminder of why we love supporting brilliant young engineers pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

Thank you to Ruairí Collins and the team for letting us be part of your journey. We cannot wait to see you shine in Singapore!

This week we've had enquiries from NASA-funded researchers, aerospace contractors building compact cryogenic systems, racing teams needing bearings that fit where nothing else will, and engineers designing custom equipment with space constraints that standard bearings can't meet.

Extreme load in a compact footprint. High-speed performance when diameter is the enemy. Cryogenic reliability without the bulk. Thin-section engineering that solves the space problem.

These aren't theoretical constraints. They're real applications our customers are solving right now with Silverthin. And they're exactly why we're the European Master Distributor—because sometimes the best bearing for the job is the one that actually fits.

If your project needs bearing performance that doesn't compromise on space, let's talk.

Great to see the continued progress from Oxford Brookes Racing as they push through a demanding and highly competitive season.

While qualification for multiple competitions is a fantastic achievement, the team have also faced the kind of challenges that define high-performance engineering. As highlighted by Reuben, success at this level often comes down to a combination of both ex*****on and circumstance—but what truly stands out is the team’s resilience, grit, and determination throughout a gruelling schedule.

At Carter Manufacturing, we are proud to support a team that not only strives for technical excellence but continues to learn, adapt, and come back stronger. The progress being made is a testament to the strength of the team, and we look forward to seeing what they achieve next.
