A Good Start to a Vacation

For example, Simmerrings, which are extremely robust, are used in landing gears, on tires and brakes, in engines, and in flight control systems. The components are exposed to extremely high stresses at takeoff and landing in particular. There is no room for error here.

FST’s solutions ensure the impermeability of the aircraft hull, for example in the cabin, in the baggage compartment and at the windows, for a safe flight, since there is a substantial difference between the external air pressure at flight altitude (about 10,000 meters) and the cabin pressure (equivalent to an altitude of about 2,500 meters). At the Paris Air Show, FST recently presented a new product line of PTFE seals for the aviation industry. PTFE is especially suited to aerospace applications in which resistance to extreme temperatures and high contact pressures, along with reliable leakage control, is crucial for safe and efficient operation, in hydraulics, for example.

Thanks to its comprehensive material and production expertise, FST offers its aerospace customers tried-and-tested products as well as individually developed sealing solutions that meet all system requirements. The company provides more than 200 aerospace-specific material mixtures that it produces itself and that have been tested for a multitude of applications, such as engines and transmissions, landing gears, wheels, brakes and window seals. In this way, FST sealing solutions provide a smooth technological process and a safe arrival at your vacation destination or back home.
