How aerospace & defence technology is shaping the modern world

While large scale conflict can often result in technological breakthroughs, the pursuit of peace also drives innovation too. As Mark Patrick, Supplier Marketing Manager (EMEA) at Mouser Electronics, explains, this dichotomy has far-reaching implications that help shape the modern world.

Top tips for RFI/EMI shielding in the aerospace industry

Top tips for RFI/EMI shielding in the aerospace industry

The Aerospace & Defence industry have always been the main drivers for RFI/EMI shielding design and products. Achieving EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) in this sector is safety critical, whereas in everyday life it can just be a frustrating nuisance. David Wall, Chairman, Kemtron Ltd looks at some of the design challenges aerospace engineers face and talks about the best shielding options available.

Linear motion technology in the aerospace industry

The need to automate has never been more apparent with manufacturers under pressure to increase output, lower costs and improve quality. There are now very few areas where automation cannot contribute greatly to improving efficiency – including the aerospace industry.

Electrifying the aerospace industry

Electrifying the aerospace industry

The electrification of transport industries is not a new development. In fact, automotive manufacturers have spent the last decade investing in the development of electric powertrains. Aerospace companies, however, have not been so quick to follow suit. Here, Graham Mackrell, Managing Director of Harmonic Drive UK, explains the design challenges for electrifying aviation.

Top quality corrosion resistant chains ensure it is always sunny

Top quality corrosion resistant chains ensure it is always sunny

A manufacturer of rotating solar panels that track the sun as it travels across the sky has switched from an underperforming drive chain to a long life, corrosion resistant chain made by Tsubaki. This has reduced the need for expensive in-field maintenance and frequent replacement, thus shortening the payback time of every installation.
