The requirements with regard to elements that are used in the field of aerospace technology are tremendous, multifaceted and complex. If, for example, the mass of 90 tons of a typical medium range aircraft is accelerated to 300 kilometres per hour within a few seconds, mechanically loaded components are particularly exposed to extreme conditions to which they must withstand. After the start until reaching the cruising altitude, also temperature differences of up to 80° Celsius occur within the shortest time, predominately acting on critical areas such as the fuselage, wings and drive. Accordingly, one of our top priorities is to always ensure the trouble-free and safe function of the components used – even in exceptional cases. RINGFEDER^® friction springs meet these requirements and, in the sector of aerospace technology, are indispensable safety element for the exact and quick damping of kinetic energy – as standard items or as customer-specific special design.
