Solution Application Case
Wear resistant strips for wing flaps
When a large aerospace manufacturer was developing a new aircraft, flexible and lightweight aluminum structural composite materials were selected for the wings, but regular monitoring, lubrication, and maintenance of the parts were still required.
MCAM Solution:
Integrate a middle of the mating surface in the flapSelf lubricating plastic wear-resistant strip, chooseDuratron™ T4301 PAI 材料Customized development.
This material comes with its ownSelf-lubricating propertyCan maintain low friction operation without additional lubrication; at the same timeCan withstand high-altitude wide range temperature changes and various aviation chemical erosionMeet aviation grade safety and lifespan requirements.
Application achievements:
Reduce aircraft weight, lower failure rates and maintenance costs, improve fuel efficiency while reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
Self lubricating engine compartment slide rail
The current aircraft braking system of a large aircraft manufacturer uses metal and ceramic cabin slides, which must be regularly lubricated and repaired to ensure smooth retraction and reverse thrust actions, which is both costly and time-consuming.
MCAM Solution:
MCAM adoptsKetron ™ TX PEEK thermoplastic materialbuildSelf lubricating engine compartment slide railThis material has excellent propertiesCreep resistanceandFatigue resistance performanceCapable of withstanding immense pressure during takeoff and landing phases, maintaining stable performance within a temperature range of -40 ℃ to 80 ℃;
Low friction coefficientandSelf-lubricating characteristicsExemption from manual lubrication requirements, whileFluid resistant, low water absorption, able to resist dust and chemical liquidsWaiting for environmental erosion, the design service life is synchronized with the aircraft fuselage (over 20 years).
Application achievements:
Extended the service life of the cabin and improved its efficiency, reducing maintenance frequency and costs.
