Mechanical Actuators
Cockpit Controls
AeroControlex mechanical and electro-mechanical actuators provides a nose to tail solutions to meet unique pilot & maintenance technicians needs. These cockpit controls are built to support reliable operation across demanding flight environments. AeroControlex wide range of solutions allows integration for push-pull control assemblies and gearboxes to interact with the cockpit control assemblies such as pitch and roll disconnect handle and cable assembly or Park Brake handle assemblies. Many of these systems interface with aerospace control panels through linkages, actuation, and pilot controls. Our controls are essential for managing various systems on the aircraft, ensuring safe and reliable flight. For operators and maintainers, cockpit controls must deliver consistent feel, clear feedback, and predictable performance.
Applications
AeroControlex cockpit controls encompass a wide range of products from flight controls and throttle assemblies to emergency actuation such as Ram Air Turbine and Emergency Landing Gear deployment. These cockpit controls support both routine operation and critical emergency procedures. Our actuation and control solutions are designed to integrate with the systems and components that are commonly built into aerospace control panels. Our robust mechanisms are ergonomically designed to ensure acceptable operator feel and feedback.
