Conventional landing gear systems from other manufacturers have been plagued by the effects of long-term creep, rate variability, manufacturing tolerances, and aging. Our latest landing gear shock absorber configurations have overcome these challenges by improved design, methodology and in the strict control of our manufacturing processes.

Machined Spring
Custom engineered solutions include centering-springs with damping and up-stop shock absorbers. These unique products are designed for high loads in a compact, lightweight package that is designed to be maintenance free.
Our actuators and rate controllers can be used for a variety of applications including aircraft door operation, propeller control, self-contained high-pressure actuation and more. Offered in both gas-charged or mechanical spring, these products have been qualified and tested up to 140,000 cycles.
Vibration is one of the most common challenges to overcome for safe aircraft operation. Our vibration control dampers offer superior performance with exceptionally stable output characteristics over a wide temperature and frequency range.
During certain towing operations, aircraft may experience excessive loads on nose landing gear (NLG). These loads have often resulted in damage to NLG and airframe such that repair or replacement is warranted, ultimately becoming time consuming and expensive. Additionally, the aircraft may be out of service until such repairs/replacements can be completed.
One solution is to incorporate a load limiting isolator into the rigid tow bar, which will reduce and control the transmitted loads to the NLG. By absorbing the sudden starting or stopping of the tow vehicle, the isolator can significantly reduce risk of repair costs and lost flight hours. Our products are fully designed and qualified to meet expected dynamic conditions and mitigate damaging load transfer to NLG.

Similar to Tow Load-Limiting Devices, custom devices can be provided that limit impact loads to aircrafts and their respective payloads during vertical ascent/descent lifting operations.
Extremely precise machined springs produce a load at a specified height or a specific spring rate, or both, without fatigue or performance degradation. As material selection is virtually unlimited, these products can be designed to accommodate extreme environmental conditions.
