Turcon® Variseal® Spring-Energized Seals
Spring-energized seals are made from PTFE materials with the low outgassing properties essential for use in space exploration and Turcon® Variseal® W is made from PFTE compounds with almost zero outgassing. These materials can be used from cryogenic temperatures up to +500°F/ +260 °C. The W spring offers low friction and moderate load on the seal jacket, ensuring the seal keeps its integrity for extremely long periods under difficult conditions.
Advanced Composite Products
Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic parts are found in numerous places on these vehicles. PEEK is the most commonly used polymer base material, but other thermoset materials are available. We use patented production technology with in-situ consolidation, eliminating autoclaving processing.
Slydring® Bearings
Slydring® bearings and bushings are commonly used as rover and lander components with rotary or linear motion. Low-outgassing materials, such as PTFE, are used to absorb transverse loads while also meeting the rigorous requirements of vehicle applications.
Seals for Landing Gear and Actuators
With years of experience in commercial aviation landing gear, our experts can specify sealing systems for any size actuator or landing gear operating in all types of environments.
HiMod® Thermoplastic Parts
Numerous thermoplastic polymers are used in rover and lander applications, including polyimide, PTFE, PCTFE, PEEK, polyimide and polyetherimide. They form structural components, bushings, electrical connectors and insulation, thermal insulation and other applications.
EMI/RFI Shielding Components
EMI/RFI shielding is critical to many vehicle applications. Our full range of products, including custom geometries, complies with MIL-DTL-83528.
