The Aerospace Validated Aircraft Steel Wire Rope is used in the engine control system - it is responsible for controlling the throttle linkage device and operating the thrust reverser device.
To ensure flight safety, steel wire ropes on aerospace demonstrators must maintain stable performance in the extreme environments of the engine area. This means they must maintain appropriate tension and exhibit no degradation in mechanical properties, regardless of continuous and severe vibration or extreme temperature shocks.
Its reliability is non-negotiable. It is crucial for precisely controlling the engine power and effectively decelerating during aircraft landing. Therefore, for modern turbo-powered aircraft, it is a vital component - it is related to the performance of the aircraft as well as its safety.
Inside the aircraft cabin, there is a special type of Aerospace Validated Aircraft Steel Wire Rope used for seat belts, cargo nets, and cargo fixation systems.
This steel wire rope is different in construction from control cables, but it still must meet strict standards for strength and lifespan. Its function is to ensure the safety of passengers during turbulence and prevent the movement of cargo - which is crucial for maintaining the correct position of the aircraft's center of gravity.
In aerospace applications, grades 302/304 or 316 stainless steel are the materials of choice – they combine excellent corrosion resistance with a superior strength-to-weight ratio, two properties that are crucial in this sector. The Aerospace Validated Aircraft Steel Wire Rope must maintain integrity in varying atmospheric conditions while resisting chemical exposure. This material ensures the Aerospace-Validated Aircraft steel wire rope delivers reliable performance in control systems, landing gear, and other critical aircraft functions.
