應用
Missile Fins
Precision miniature ball screws are used in the control actuation system of a wide array of defense programs. These applications require high-performance components that can endure extreme environmental demands. In this example, ball screws control the fins that guide the missiles or rockets for an accurate flight and on-target strike.
Ground Support
Electric linear actuators are used to assist in manufacturing across the commercial aerospace, military and defense industries. This jack stand is using an actuator to elevate the arm and eliminate the need for hydraulics.
Leveling Legs/Elevation Positioner
Mobile radar and launching platforms use an array of products in stabilization and payload deployment to be mission ready. Acme screws are used to level and anchor the platform to the ground, while ball screw actuators lift the payload into position for use.
Munitions Handling
From staging areas to on board vehicles, weapon systems must be transported safely and with extreme care. Electric cylinders are used in the elevation and positioning of the munition handling equipment for loading and unloading
Surveillance Targeting
Recon planes and drones use ball screws to lower and orientate the surveillance pods. These screws must withstand harsh flight environments while accurately and repeatably positioning sensitive equipment used to help today's warfighter
