There is a wide range of fasteners in the world of aviation industry for aircraft, rockets, and missiles. Such as screws, rivets, nuts, pins, bolts are used in all. They are extremely critical mechanical components of the aircraft and are required to function in the most extreme situations. On an average, 2.4 million fasteners are used in Boeing 787 aircraft. More than 3 million aircraft fasteners were used by The Boeing Company for manufacturing Boeing 747 jet. More than 1/5th of those parts are structural bolts. The airlines are progressively looking for aircraft with minimal possible maintenance repair, and with better performance. The fasteners play an extremely vital role. The aviation fastener forecast the growing demand of next generation aircraft and technological advancement would lead the market to grow at a CAGR of 7.68% in the future. The Commercial Aviation Fasteners Market currently holds around 60% of the total market, and is expected to reach 62% in the next period.

One of the major reason for the growth in the market share of the commercial aerospace sector would be the increase in the aviation sector and demand for newer fleets in the Asia Pacific region. Unlike the North American and European region which are exceedingly well associated by air, most countries in the Asia Pacific region have limited connectivity. A big part of the aviation industry forecast has to do with limited air traffic and infrastructure. But due to the rising excessive incomes in the region, air travel is becoming increasingly popular. As a result, Asia Pacific controls the highest share in the orders for jets in the projected period. The Asia Pacific region will also account for the heightened defense spending which will expand the aviation fasteners market.

When it comes to flying I would assume that safety is the biggest concern before anything else, other features are obviously necessary and there is no doubt that technological advancements have made flying much easier, more fun and most importantly safer. Having said that it is important to mention that Maverich Helicopter has been awarded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) an award of excellence in 2016 called the Diamond Award. The award was considered due to the company’s achievement of maintaining aircraft safety as top priority and their continuous training to ensure that safety is something critical to focus on. Maverick Helicopter didn’t receive only one award but they were awarded six Diamond Awards back to back and two years ago in 2015 they were able to receive it for their facility in Maui, Hawaii for the first time.

The FAA awards are considered a sign of appreciation to those aircraft parts manufacturing companies that are following the administration’s programs for Maintenance and technicians. Those awards are designed to encourage the people in the aviation industry to put their efforts in maintaining their aircrafts, and following regulations and FAA rules. This is all done to encourage the safety and create industries that understand and capable of maintaining their products for the long run. It also can create a better customer service because I means that the industry you are dealing with cares about your safety and having a product that can last longer.

Spherical roller bearings which have been optimized to allow wind turbines to generate energy more efficiently and reliably. These bearings will make mounting significantly easier by combining a tapered roller bearing unit, with a direct flange mounting facility. A wind turbine and rolling bearings are subjected to operating conditions and dynamic loads from the forces of wind acting directly on the rotor bearing support in a wind turbine unit. A new compact and easy to mount bearing unit is on the market. The FAG flanged bearing unit allows the bearing to be safely supported due to the tight axial guidance of the rotor and and the large pressure angle. The bearing uses grease lubrication and seals, is supplied pre-made, and contains double row tapered roller bearing unit in the O arrangement. The outer ring is flange-mounted to the nacelle, the inner rings are flange-mounted to the rotor. The grease sensor is made to order to a specific type of grease and provides exact measurement of the water content, mechanical wear, as well as the temperature, and turbidity in the bearing support. This option is called the FAG GreaseCheck.

This unit is connected by a cable, syncs the information, measurements and transmits the findings as an analog signal. The central lubricating system via the control room receives the the signal from the grease sensor. Thus insuring the bearings are re-lubricated at greater quantities and shorter intervals to improve the condition of the grease. This process is done despite the damage of the seals and to protect the bearings from the damage of grease failure. This design by Schaeffler is a huge step forwards increasing the axial load carrying capacity and the operating life of the main bearings in wind turbines. It allows a smaller contact angle on the bearing row and a larger contact angle to be used. The improved load distribution has been developed from this production of lower contact pressures and little to no axial displacement.

In an ideal way, Franke wire race bearings are made by combining aluminum components, construction that is lightweight. Franke wire race bearings range extends from the element that houses of raceways and rolling elements that complete the system. These bearings allow the free choice of material and the individual design of the mating structure. This application makes it possible to tailor to the requirements of the application. The key here give the customer free reign to use their choice of materials such as plastic, carbon, or aluminum for the production of the enclosing structure. Most Franke customers have a high potential for saving by receiving pre-finished systems, thus saving drive energy and weight. You can also purchase a complete set of Franke wire race bearings that consist of the control, drive, and bearing.

A conventional steel bearing without the drive is much heavier than a lightweight Franke bearing with direct drive. The efficiency of the system is increased by there not being a need for additional components to mechanically set the bearing in transition. The engine is also designed smaller to give it the opportunity to run at higher dynamics and speed. The Franke wire-race bearing enables an individual design of the enclosing construction, as well as a free choice of material. That is why it is possible to manufacture the housing components of the bearing in an extremely thin-walled manner and tailored to the adjacent construction. Racing has always been an experimental field for innovative solutions. It appears the Franke race wire bearings are the new and improved bearings on the market for the near future.

Scaheffler’s INA linear technology is a newly-developed, six-row linear recirculating ball bearing and guide way assembly that are highly precise assemblies that run extremely soundlessly, which work efficiently in a measuring machine and well-established products.

The infeed zones in linear recirculating ball bearing and guide way assemblies, that is to say the area in which the rolling elements are conducted into the load carrying element until the load is fully applied is a critical factor for the life-limited mechanisms. They guarantee that the load is not suddenly applied to the rolling element yet progressively conducted. By refining the infeed zone design on the carriage saddle plates, INA Linear Technology has now accomplished in increasing the load ratings. The six-row KUSE linear recirculating ball bearing and guide way assemblies increased up to 44%, depending on the size and design. Due to the major increase in performance, the redesigned KUSE series has been awarded the Schaffler X-life quality mark. Six-row linear recirculating ball bearing and guide way assemblies have a high level of firmness and extremely low pulse amplitude (83%). They can be used in functions that tolerate slight pulsations and require high precision.

The recirculating rolling elements generally prevent a continuous amount of fully loaded rolling elements present in the load zone of the carriages at once. Depending on effectiveness within in the rolling elements during the load zone, the carriage balances deflections along the stroke to varying degrees causing a slight pulsing balancing movement in the load direction of the carriage. This particular movement is called stroke pulsation. Pulse amplitudes of up to 1 micrometer are not uncommon for a single ball. For the new KUSE X-life, the outline of the infeed zone has been improved so that the stroke pulsation is reduced, especially at higher loads.

KUSE X-life linear recirculating ball bearing and guide way assemblies are the highest in firmness and load carrying capacities based on balls currently on the market. Six rows, rather than the usual four, of balls support the loads. This particular arrangement of ball rows makes KUSE X-life designs perfect for combined load directions. KUSE X-life six-row linear recirculating ball bearing and guide way assemblies are appropriate for high-precision applications in electronics production, mold production, microscopy, optics, applications with high load carrying capacity, and operating performance. Here at ASAP Semi we like things to be improved so we have reasons for why customers need the newer version. We like our customers to have the updated version of any part being used on their vehicle.

Igus is a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of plastic bearings they also have spherical bearings, linear guides and cable carriers. They started back in October 1964 in a double garage in Cologne. They are used to make affordable polymer components and assemblies. They are a worldwide manufacturer of good qualitative ball bearing. They have been improving since they opened. They recently presented a new lubrication free dry line liner axis with fast dry spin high helix threads. These new properties are small light and flat. This new low profile axis dryline is very low profile and is convenient. This high-speed sensor adjustments sensor that it has can be really implemented with a stepper in a cost-effective manner. So now with this new improvement it is now a lot more suitable for quick handing and positioning and this can be convenient and a good sign for many people.

This is going to help grow their business and help them improve their sales even more. also, it is now suitable for feed movements with low weight. Many people don’t know this but the sensors can also be adjusted as well as the light handling tasks. With all these improvements, they are still able to make it affordable and cost effective. And let us keep in mind the system is completely free of lubrication and maintenance. Stefan Niermann the head of drylin linear and drive technology mentioned “At the upcoming Motek, we are presenting the low profile linear axis in combination with our new dry spin high helix threads. The drylin SLN-27 is not only small, light and flat, but also fast with 25-millimetre strokes in one revolution,” with their fast travel and high heliz thread they are expected to grow as a company. They provide automotive fasteners and aviation fasteners manufacturers.

Icing conditions can be brutal for the most part, however pilots train on various types of aircrafts in order to get a feel of how flying or operating an aircraft would be in such hard conditions. The new AW609 is now getting ready for flight tests in icing conditions since the last crash that happened two years ago in October of 2015. The trials will are going to be on the Leonardo helicopter division’s AW609 and it’s going to be in Marquette, Michigan which can be very cold and in some cases very harsh conditions to fly in. The testing will first begin in Philadelphia but soon will be moved to Michigan for various reasons but most important it will confirm the AW609 aircraft performance and its ability to cope in harsh but known conditions.

Once the aircraft passes all the testing trials it can finally be certified for airworthiness from the FAA, this will trigger the AW609 Aircraft manufacturer to go ahead with full production in order to meet their sales requirement. Manufacturing should have been on already but due to the crash that happened last year it left only two prototypes planes to fly in around the Philadelphia airport and one flying in Italy. The new prototype plane will have all the right modifications in order to ensure no accidents happen and start the clock on production. Aircraft Component Distributors play a big part in plane assemblies because they provide all the components of the plane.

The infinitus super highway is a strategic marketing partnership for a broadband wireless network. The ones who entered it are the airborne wireless network and air lease corporation. Many people do not know what the Airborne Wireless Network is but it is a network that could provide a high-speed broadband airborne wireless network that could link commercial aircraft in flight as repeaters. there is a possibility that these signals can be used as mini satellites which can be a really good idea and could be an improvement. By doing this there could be a possibility of linking commercial aircraft in flight. The plan is to be able to provide each aircraft to participate in the network and by doing this it can create a digital superhighway in the sky. It is a high-speed network that is f a high speed which is a really positive aspect.

Jason T. de Mos, Vice President of Business Development and Aviation Compliance mentioned “We are excited that they are on board to market our system to their worldwide airline customers and to introduce us to manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus with the goal of having our equipment pre-wired on new aircraft. Also “Our collaboration will be a big step toward making our vision a reality, as we believe our airborne digital highway is the logical solution to fill the world’s connectivity void. And “This partnership is a perfect fit for our strategy and will contribute significantly to the future of airborne wireless.” The possibility of this network to provide low cost, high speed connectivity to some rural areas is high.
