Radar Over-Travel Buffers

Radar over travel buffers

Radar Over-Travel Buffers are crucial for protecting radar systems from damage when they exceed their movement limits. They act as end-of-travel stops, absorbing drive forces through advanced damping mechanisms like:

  • Non-linear hydraulic damping

  • Liquid springs

  • Elastomeric spring stops

Due to their specialized needs and precise engineering requirements, manufacturing and tuning these buffers can be outsourced to companies specializing in custom isolation and shock absorption systems.

Drone Stabilization System

Drone Shock Absorbers

A drone stabilization system utilizing hydraulic shock absorbers and buffers mitigates vibrations and landing impacts. Hydraulic shock absorbers reduce oscillations from weapon fire or rough terrain, while buffers protect the drone’s frame from sudden shocks. This system enhances stability, improves payload performance, and ensures safer landings, particularly for armed, surveillance, and cargo drones in challenging conditions. Future designs may incorporate adaptive damping with AI and smart fluids for real-time control.

UAV Landing Gears

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Shock Absorbers

Hydraulic landing gears in UAVs provide controlled shock absorption during takeoff and landing, especially on uneven or rugged terrain. These systems use hydraulic struts filled with fluid and integrated springs to absorb impact energy smoothly. They reduce bounce, minimize structural stress, and enhance landing stability. Hydraulic landing gear is crucial for heavier drones, cargo UAVs, and military platforms. It allows repeated landings without damaging internal components or sensitive payloads. Advanced systems can also adjust stiffness dynamically based on weight or terrain feedback.
