HELI-EXPO 2018
ITT Inc. (NYSE: ITT) and its
Enidine brand today announced the addition of high capacity
laminated (HCL) elastomeric bearings and Frahm dampers to their
extensive rotorcraft solutions portfolio. Enidine will showcase its
comprehensive energy absorption and vibration isolation solutions
for rotorcraft applications at HAI HELI-EXPO 2018, Feb. 27 – Mar.
1, in Las Vegas.
“With an extensive engineering, manufacturing and testing
facility and services list, Enidine offers a flexible, personalized
approach to meeting the demanding application requirements of
rotorcraft design,” said David Snowberger, Rotorcraft Business
Development Manager, ITT Enidine. “From custom elastomers, to rate
controls, and energy absorption devices, we specialize in serving
as an extension of the customer’s engineering and manufacturing
teams. With this team-based approach, our ability to design,
develop, test and produce products all within one facility allows
us to bring the highest quality engineered components to market on
time and under budget.”
Enidine’s HCL elastomeric bearings are flight-critical
components that give rotorcraft designers precise, engineered
control over stiffness and damping, reducing in-flight vibration
and allowing flexibility in the blades and rotor assembly. Critical
to aircraft performance, the innovative HCL bearings are designed
to support high loads and blade motion without lubrication. The HCL
bearings decrease rotorcraft maintenance costs by reducing bearing
replacement intervals with a design that is resistant to dust,
debris and fluids. They eliminate unplanned bearing maintenance
with a visual inspection that indicates when the HCL bearing is
approaching end-of-life, and they reduce in-flight vibration which
improves the reliability of other aircraft systems.
Enidine’s Frahm dampers are dynamically tuned vibration
absorbers, used on rotorcraft airframes and rotors to reduce
vibration and increase comfort for pilots and passengers. The
highly engineered Frahm dampers are precisely tuned to resonate at
the same frequency as the rotorcraft components, absorbing and
counteracting undesirable vibration throughout the aircraft. The
Frahm dampers are featured on a major manufacturer’s new commercial
helicopter, which recently began delivery and flight service.
The company’s highly engineered rotorcraft solutions increase
aircraft performance, fuel efficiency and longevity of
flight-critical components, protect cabin interiors from noise and
vibration and improve the safety and comfort of passengers and
crews. At HAI HELI-EXPO, Enidine will highlight its full rotorcraft
application portfolio, including:
- Multi-Modulus HCL, Journal and
Spherical Bearings
- Frahm Dampers
- Pylon Isolation Systems
- Engine, APU and ECU Isolators
- Cabin Noise Attenuation Systems
Representatives will be available for meetings at Booth C4929
throughout the show. For more information on Enidine’s unique
