November 20, 2015 (Peterborough, NH): The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has awarded New Hampshire Ball Bearings, Inc. (NHBB) with Parts Manufacturing Approval (PMA) for approximately 120 additional Boeing-licensed spare parts. This authorizes NHBB to manufacture and sell these Boeing airframe control bearings as spare parts on Boeing type-certificated aircraft. Boeing PMA parts manufactured by NHBB are sold to the MRO market through NHBB’s Authorized Distributors.
These recent PMA’s pertain to Boeing airframe control bearings (BACB) manufactured by the Precision Division in Chatsworth, California, and the HiTech Division in Peterborough, NH. The Precision Division obtained PMA approval in October for 49 Boeing-licensed part numbers. HiTech received two separate PMAs in November for over 70 Boeing part numbers.
NHBB’s list of PMA parts is expected to grow substantially during the next six to twelve months, as all three of NHBB’s manufacturing divisions are pursuing additional approvals for hundreds more Boeing-licensed part numbers.
MRO facilities interested in ordering any of the above Boeing-licensed PMA parts are encouraged to contact one of NHBB’s Authorized Distributors.
