Carbon technology for aviation & aerospace – where precision matters.

Schunk supplies segmented and one-piece sealing rings, carbon seal faces, and fluid-lubricated plain bearings for engines, fuel pumps, and air management systems. In addition, carbon-fiber-reinforced sleeves for APU and IDG rotors—manufactured from specially developed high-performance materials offering maximum strength, dry-running capability, and chemical resistance.

With its modular load carrier systems made of CFC and oxide fiber composites (OFC), Schunk offers high-performance solutions for the reliable heat treatment of turbine blades and engine components. The system stands out for its low thermal mass and excellent thermal shock resistance up to 2,000 °C. The result is shorter cycle times, reproducible processes, and predictable service life. As a member of the BDLI and a supplier to numerous NADCAP-certified companies, Schunk meets the highest standards of the aerospace industry. 

For electric propulsion concepts, eVTOLs, and hybrid aviation applications, Schunk offers specialized thermal management systems: Latent Heat Carbon reliably buffers temperature fluctuations in battery modules with cylindrical Li-ion cells, Aluminium Graphite composites efficiently dissipate heat—for longer service life, higher efficiency, and safe operating temperatures.
