Do you know the origin of the inch unit? Cutting a very long story short, it comes from the Old Engilsh ynce and was equivalent ot one twelfth of a Roman foot. During the 12^nd century the King David of Scotland defined it as the average of the thumb breadth at the base of the nail of three men of different heights. Averaging the dimension of three men would give the measurement more consistency. The actual definition of the dimension evolved with time, until it has been officially defined as 2,54 cm back in 1959 as a result of a consensus of all the countries using imperial units.
 

Rexnord Aerospace products are applied to many different aircraft, from fighter planes to commercial transports. Maintenance of these products requires proper tooling. Buying high quality bearing products is only the first step to achieve a complete satisfaction on bearing applications. Installation is the crucial step that allows bearing design capabilities to be transformed into in service performance by the user.
