Designed for use on commercial airplanes, these featured clamp blocks were value engineered to reduce significant weight of the aircraft. Made from a variety of components, including titanium screws, locking and standard washers, EPDM rubber (BMS 1-50), and carbon fiber composite channels and spacer tubes, the EPDM rubber was molded and cleaned before assembly. Each of the screws, washers, channels, and spacer tubes were purchased to adhere to strict customer specifications, and then assembled with the EPDM rubber block. As a result of the unique combination of rubber, screws, washers, channels, and spacer tubes, the clamp block assemblies were appropriate for use in almost any aircraft application, including hydraulic immersed and fuel pod locations. In addition to reducing the weight of the aircraft, the design of the assemblies reduced FOD and increased the speed and efficiency of installation.

• Product NameSeal Assembly
• Capabilities Applied/ProcessesRubber Compression Molding

This featured compression molded rubber seal was made using a grey rubber (BMS 1-57) compound and a corolon fabric. Because the fabric has a denser weave, it serves to increase durability. The rubber and corolon were first hand formed in the mold, then placed in the press at 230 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for 10 to 15 minutes to assume the proper shape and continuity. After the newly formed seal was removed from the mold and cleaned, it was set to post cure at 300 degrees F. During curing, the foam inserts and end plug (BMS 1-68) were formed by curing the liquid into pre-designed molds, and applying pressure and low-heat until complete. After curing, the seal’s holes and overall length were cut, and then it was assembled with the foam inserts and end plug, which serve to increase the product’s lifespan, fit, and performance. The completed seal assembly was designed to be applied in several places on a commercial aircraft, where it was mounted to metal bulkheads, to enable the sealing of metal parts.
