Learn MoreA tier-1 flight controls company was designing an innovative system for a new large commercial aircraft and required a hydraulic reservoir. EHA guidelines require that these reservoirs be 100% maintenance free.
Read Case StudyTraditional elastomer-based seals could not be used by our customer, a large manufacturer of gas turbines, due to their inability to withstand the high temperature environment.
Read Case StudyOur customer, a large commercial airframer, challenged themselves to produce a next-generation aircraft concept that would deliver significantly lower total life cycle costs—including dramatically reduced-maintenance requirements.
Read Case StudyAs our customer’s rigs ventured further off shore, their equipment experienced significantly higher differential pressures. One of the critical components, gas lift valves, were facing differential pressures in the 10,000 psig range.
Read Case StudyThe U.S. Air Force KC-135 Aerial Refueling Tanker was experiencing severe aircraft downtime due to a highly unreliable piston accumulator used on the fuel boom.
Read Case StudyOur customer—a large medical equipment manufacturer—required a new design for a precision metering pump for blood analysis sampling. The component was to be used in a disposable cartridge, so relative cost was an issue.
Read Case StudyOur customer was looking to improve the performance of their wafer handling system. Their historical approach involved the use of an air cylinder and a welded metal bellows to seal the penetration into the vacuum chamber.
Read Case StudyOur customer, an agile and prestigious business jet manufacturer, was developing a new aircraft for a premium market segment. They were seeking a suite of lightweight hydraulic accumulators that would provide the lowest total life cycle cost possible.
Read Case StudyA large commercial aircraft engine manufacturer needed a fire safety relief valve to automatically drain hydraulic fluid from their gearbox should the temperature in the gearbox approach the flash point of the hydraulic fluid.
Read Case StudyThe legacy design for a thermal actuator relied upon an elastomer-encased wax medium. Unfortunately operating temperature extremes rapidly degraded the elastomer, resulting in a very high rate of failure for this device.
Read Case StudyMoving highly toxic gasses from bulk storage to the point-of-use is a perennial challenge for many semiconductor manufacturers. Unfortunately, most conventional pumps rely on seals that are subject to wear—potentially risking harmful leakage and human exposure.
Read Case StudyExtreme demands for reliability, precision, and absolute seal were matched by the already strict regulatory requirements for biocompatibility and compatibility with the drugs the new system was dispensing within the body.
