Airport Support Vehicles Gas Struts & Dampers
There is far more to the aerospace industry than just aircraft. In fact, there are many airport support vehicles that help keep this vital sector moving, and working safely and efficiently. Gas struts and dampers are at the heart of these support vehicles, helping passengers get from A to B by creating safer environments and supporting the aerospace sector to do what it does best.
Commercial Aircraft Interior Gas Struts & Dampers
Our motion control solutions have been supporting the commercial aircraft sector for years. We have experience working with industry leaders who bring the latest innovations for cabin interiors and passenger comfort within commercial aircraft.
Private Aircraft Interior Gas Struts & Dampers
Understanding private aircraft possesses a heavy focus on being well-designed, aesthetically pleasing and strives to make intelligent use of available space. Working with our highly-qualified team from concept design not only takes away the stress later down the project life cycle but also encourages substantial initial cost-savings.

Industry Standards and Certifications
Quality and compliance are non-negotiable in aerospace applications, which is why our gas struts and dampers meet or exceed the industry’s most stringent standards. All products undergo thorough endurance testing in line with internationally recognised protocols such as MIL-STD-810D and RTCA DO-160G, ensuring reliable performance even in the most demanding environments.
To demonstrate full regulatory compliance, we collaborate with third-party certifying bodies like TÜV SÜD, providing customers with clear, independently verified documentation and peace of mind. Many of our standard components can be adapted to meet these aerospace requirements, helping to minimise time and resources spent on qualification testing.
Our ongoing commitment to quality, safety and certification gives you the assurance that every product is engineered for aerospace excellence.
Stringent Testing for Aerospace Compliance
Our aerospace gas struts and dampers are held to the highest industry standards, undergoing comprehensive endurance and performance testing to ensure reliability where it matters most. Each unit is tested to MIL-STD-810D for environmental durability and undergoes RTCA DO-160G procedures to verify safety in demanding aviation conditions.
Additionally, these components are utilised in applications that have successfully passed FAA-certified 16G sled tests, providing confidence in their crashworthiness and robust construction.
To offer complete assurance, we also work closely with internationally recognised certifying bodies such as TÜV SÜD. This partnership provides our customers with independent verification that every product meets stringent aerospace performance requirements, supporting both compliance and peace of mind.
Trusted by Leading Aerospace Manufacturers
Our gas struts and dampers are trusted by a wide range of leading aerospace companies around the world. Major names such as Boeing, BAE Systems, Embraer, B/E Aerospace, Goodrich and UTAS Aerospace rely on our motion control solutions to support their products and elevate their operations. This recognition by industry giants is a testament to our quality, reliability and ongoing commitment to technical excellence.
