Sikorsky signs worldwide bearings agreement with Lord

Helicopter Support, Inc. (HSI), a business unit of Sikorsky Aerospace Services, will be the exclusive worldwide distributor of Lord HCL bearings for Sikorsky S-6, S-7 and S-92 helicopters and variants of these models. Through Sikorsky Aerospace Services’ extensive global network, this teaming expands worldwide availability of Lord products for military and commercial applications.
 
“This distribution agreement with Lord offers greater parts availability, resulting in faster turnaround and increased flight readiness for our customers. In our relentless effort to provide the best support in the industry, collaborating with Lord adds another solution to our single point of contact for customers,” said Samir Mehta, president of Helicopter Support, Inc.
 
Offering reduced vibration levels, Lord bearings require no lubrication.  By reducing overhaul time and unscheduled maintenance – while extending part-life cycle - customers can lower their operating costs, Mehta said.
