Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (CarlisleIT) announced today that it is now offering Vibration and Mechanical Shock Testing. These services provide original equipment manufacturers (OEM) insight into how a product will behave while in vibration environments found in helicopters, turboprop planes and more.
In addition to performance, CarlisleIT’s vibration and shock testing also helps OEMs evaluate conformance to product’s specification requirements, determines resonate frequencies and behavior during sudden deceleration.
“Product testing is a very important part of the manufacturing process, and we have a team of experts who will make sure that every product is 100% ready to go to market,” said Rob Degrave, Product Line Manager II, Aerostructures for CarlisleIT. “As a leading supplier of interconnect technologies and services, our goal is to provide as many high-quality services to OEMs as possible to ensure that they continue to achieve their goals and foster innovati
th Annual Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) Symposium and 9
th Annual Autonomous VTOL Technical Meeting taking place Jan. 26-28, 2021.
In addition to sponsoring the virtual event, CarlisleIT will showcase its high-voltage expertise and product offerings for advanced air mobility applications.
Technical experts from industry, academia and government will gather at the eVTOL Symposium and Technical Meeting to share knowledge and collaborate on how to bring the next generation of air mobility to market. Tom Turner, Product Manager, Power and Grounding for CarlisleIT, will participate in a sponsored Technical Talk on Thursday, January 28 at 12:00 p.m. MST in which attendees will learn how the Partial Discharge Phenomenon can stall an eVTOL project as well as how to address this challenge in the manufacturing process. This session is one of several discussions and presentations focused on electric and hybrid electric VTOL aircraft for urban air mobility.
Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (CIT) announced today that it has received a patent for its third generation of ARINC 791/792 Adjustable Fittings for existing and emerging aerospace applications. The new patented fittings allow for simple, error-proof, and efficient installation performed using only basic hand tools. The ARINC 791/792 Adjustable Fittings significantly reduce installation compared to traditional methods as they do not require special fixtures or tools, shims, or match drilling.
This new solution is ARINC 791/792-compliant as well as RTCA/DO-160 and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) qualified. Adaptable to existing ARINC 791, these fittings also incorporate ARINC 791/792 slip requirements with z-axis (height) adjustability to support conversion from ARINC 791 to 792 equipment installation. These fittings ensure the lowest possible installation height for electronically steered antenna (ESA) applications, provide z-axis adjustability to account for structure var
