Yes RayF, Kaman has a division called Kamatics that makes their bearings. They have a "black art" liner that is called Karon which is a modified teflon for use in lots of aviation applications. Also some nuclear subs, and believe it or not, some skilifts in Colorado! Wish I was the salesman for that project!
There are tons of bearings in helicopters, and they are subject to the highest stresses from vibratory loads. Not so much heat problems with them in the airframe other than the mounts for the main power and APUs (auxiliary power units). Kaman Aerospace has been around for a long long time since Charlie Kaman worked on helicopter development in the early stages of their designs.
