Aerospace Techtron HPV PPS Thrust Reverser Limiter Washer Challenge Develop efficient and high reliability components that meet the extreme demands required in thrust reverser systems Landing speeds of aircrafts of up to 300 kmh and varying sizes of runways in combination with the trend to short cut taxiing to save fuel and gas require the usage of thrust reversers. These support the aircraft wheel brakes as well as aerodynamic speed brakes to eliminate kinetic energy and decrease speed after touch down. Thrust reversers are operated by linear hydraulic actuators. On hard landings or aborted takeoffs the thrust reverser needs to be operated at maximum thrust level. To enable the full efficiency the actuator shafts are supported by washers. The washer guides the shaft under those high loads to open the cascade door and keep them in place. Limiter Bushing After flight temperatures can be as low as minus 60 C 140 F and the thrust reverser can be exposed to temperature peaks of up to 160 C 320 F for a short period. Smooth gliding without wear or judder is required over this whole temperature range. Key Requirements Low coefficient of friction versus light weight metal alloys Wide operational temperature window Thermal expansion similar to aluminum Low or no abrasion against aluminum alloys Chemically resistant to aircraft fuels and other aircraft liquids like Skydrol Minimum 20 years lifetime mcam.com MCAMconnect contactmcam.com Why Techtron HPV PPS Customer Benefits Higher reliability of the operation under aircraft engine conditions Techtron HPV PPS has been developed for glide and wear applications in extreme environments and is able to withstand very harsh chemical conditions. Its dimensional stability over a wide temperature range enables a combination with lightweight aluminum alloys at low tolerance. Techtron HPV PPS is a lighter weight material solution offering optimal performance qualities to replace the previously used metal. Cost savings of up t
