In the aerospace and aeronautical industry, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) need products that reflect operational demands. Parts need to be durable, safe and produced to industry or organizational standards. OEMs may turn to a specialized aerospace gasket manufacturer or silicone flight hardware professional to get the small hardware they need to build these parts.
At Polycraft Products, Inc., our in-house machines and team expertise allow us to produce a range of flight hardware according to your needs.
From Prototype to Production
The team at Polycraft Products can collaborate with you from conceptualization to production. Our engineers have experience in design and development to solve product challenges and create parts that meet your project demands.
We start our process with an open conversation about what you need. From there, we can develop a plan for your component and determine the best way to fabricate it. Our access to in-house machining centers, 3D printers and molding and composite bonding equipment gives us the flexibility to produce a wide range of products.
Examples of Flight Hardware We Work On
Aircraft and their parts are complex, and we focus on the small pieces that are critical for the safe operation of these parts. Flight hardware we commonly work with includes:
- Seals
- Gaskets
- Grommets
- Bellows
- Stators
- OGVs
- Retainers
- Platforms
While these components are small, they play vital roles in aircraft functionality. Many of them are essential for management of excess heat, containing and protecting essential wiring, and ensuring secure connection with other parts. Aircraft experience high speeds and turbulent environmental conditions that make these key components paramount for success.
Materials We Use
At Polycraft Products, we rely on various materials to create safe and lasting components. In some cases, they even offer flame resistance, which can be a requirement for many aerospace products. Some of the materials we use include:
- Elastomers
- Thermoplastics
- Pre-impregnated fabric
- Adhesives
- Epoxy
- Metals
Our team chooses materials based on performance requirements like heat resistance, bonding capabilities, durability and other factors.
Customizable Parts for Your Needs
Our team can fabricate products with standard specifications, but we also work with custom requests. A significant aspect of our service model is open communication with clients. When you have unique challenges, our custom parts can address them.
If you’re looking for custom silicone flight hardware, O-rings, bellows or other components, we’re here to listen to your project requirements and develop a turnkey solution. We approach all of our projects with honesty and a sense of partnership. Our team will only make commitments we can deliver on.
