航天航空及國防

The familiar sound we hear during air travel is the reliable operation of ball screws driving flight-critical systems such as flaps, stabilizers, landing gear, hatches and fly-by-wire systems. Consistent quality control, engineering expertise and product excellence are critical for these applications.

Evolving drone technology and military needs require drones to have a smaller takeoff and landing capability. Vertical lift drones use ball screws to tilt the rotors from a launch or landing position to the forward inflight position.

Harnessing the power of rocket motors, ball screws are used in actuators that position the rocket nozzles for accurate flight. From space exploration to evolving hypersonic technology, ball screws adjust and direct the rocket thrust position and vehicle trajectory.
