In the aerospace industry, all equipment is subject to exceptionally stringent standards. Companies in this industry manufacture aircraft, satellites, and related avionic systems. Aerospace/Aviation component manufacturing requires high precision, high reliability, and high technology, where the performance of a part is often more important than its price.
Advances in airplane design require increasingly high-performance precision parts, which places a demand on manufacturers to update or buy new automation equipment for production. In addition to being built to precise and tight tolerance dimensions, they must be lightweight, reliable, and capable of withstanding extreme conditions, such as temperatures ranging from -60º C to 150º C, high levels of noise and vibration, impacts, and electromagnetic interference.
These capabilities make micro motors ideal for aircraft systems, including for the regulation of fuel in engines and the maintenance of airflow in atmospheric systems used in a variety of aircraft systems.
Applications, such as valve actuation on aircraft, need to perform critical functions from regulating the flow of engine fuel to controlling the airflow into the aircraft’s environmental systems. Depending upon the load to be overcome in these applications, various types of micromotors with gearboxes are used.
Actuators are devices that convert electrical signals to mechanical movement or other physical variables such as pressure and temperature. Actuators play an active role in the control systems of aircraft. When the most important requirement for all cabin equipment is reliability, that also means any maintenance intervals of motor components should be as long as possible.
For seat valve actuation in aircraft cabins, smooth operation is key to providing the highest comfort level to passengers, despite the high application load. These needs are well addressed by graphite commutation brushed micro motors.
Equipment manufacturers for the aerospace market rely on innovative new materials, processes, and parts to master the ever-increasing challenges of improving fuel efficiency, reducing weight, and increasing the robustness of aircraft, while at the same time reducing costs but making no compromises when it comes to compliance with safety regulations and aircraft performance.
