Aerospace

Aerospace is the most demanding industry in terms of safety requirements, and this is why we provide highly reliable, high-speed and force-dense aerospace actuators to our worldwide customers. We are currently working on adding haptic feedback to helicopter controls and seats with our magnetorheological actuators to give pilots an understanding of the helicopter’s condition through transmission of real-time tactile signals to their hands and back. Our technology provides pilots with better situational awareness of the flight envelope. As a result, there will be less need for maintenance on helicopters as fewer pilots will unknowingly exceed rotorcraft limits.

Advantages
High ratio of force over weight.
Mechanical bandwidth above 30Hz allows the creation of real-time additional tactile information such as haptic vibrations, virtual walls & springs.
Built-in redundancy results in extremely improbable catastrophic failure (10-9/flight hour).
Electronic hardware and software developped according to RTCA DO-178C/DO-254 standards.
Proven operations in extreme conditions. RTCA DO-160C testing.
Standard material and processes make MR actuators a cost-efficient solution for aerospace.
Patent-protected applications that offer differentiation to benefit from market leadership.
