Product catalog summary
Overview
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions is a global leader in sealing technology for the aerospace industry, providing a wide range of products and services to enhance airframe and engine efficiency and safety. The company operates worldwide with strategically located manufacturing facilities and specialized hubs.
Manufacturing Facilities
Trelleborg operates four advanced airframe seal manufacturing facilities in Northborough, Massachusetts, US; Cadley Hill, UK; Condé-sur-Noireau, France; and Shanghai, China. These facilities are capable of transitioning from low to high volume production, adhering to industry standards such as ISO 9001, AS/EN9100, and Nadcap, along with Airbus and Boeing certifications.
Product Offerings
The company offers a diverse range of sealing products for airframes and engines, including engine pylon seals, thrust reverser seals, fire seals, and bleed air seals. These products are designed to optimize aerodynamic efficiency, resist high temperatures, and ensure safety by containing fire and preventing flame spread.
Specialized Sealing Capabilities
Trelleborg provides specialized sealing solutions like access cover plate seals, diaphragms, bellows, and HiMod® flat gaskets, engineered to withstand extreme conditions in high-temperature aerospace applications.
Engineering and Qualification
Advanced engineering techniques, including CAD tools and FEA modeling, are employed to design and qualify seals. Rapid prototyping through 3D printing facilitates early testing, reducing design time and risk. Trelleborg's project management services cover all stages from concept to product introduction.
Testing Capabilities
Extensive in-house testing ensures product reliability and performance, including endurance and friction testing to simulate real-world conditions and optimize seal design.
Commitment to Customers
Trelleborg focuses on building long-term partnerships by providing innovative solutions and excellent service, supporting aerospace, industrial, and automotive customers through a global network of production facilities and marketing companies.
Introduction
Trelleborg is a leader in engineered polymer solutions, specializing in seals that offer low friction and durability. Their expertise in low friction materials ensures long-lasting performance.
Wear Testing
Seals, especially in wing applications, must not damage aircraft skin during their service life. Wear tests identify areas prone to wear, allowing reinforcement with low friction materials.
Fire Testing
Fire seals must meet ISO 2685 and AC 20-135 standards, withstanding +1100 °C for 15 minutes. Trelleborg's seals exceed these requirements, enduring 30 minutes of extreme temperatures due to advanced material development and custom designs.
Research and Development
Eight R&D centers focus on developing materials to meet aerospace challenges, aiming for enhanced chemical compatibility, temperature capability, and reduced weight.
Manufacturing & Material Qualification
Materials are approved by major aerospace companies like Airbus and Boeing, complying with standards such as MIL-R-25988 and UL-94.
Services
Trelleborg offers services to streamline procurement and logistics, including Direct Line Feed and automated replenishment systems like Seal Scan. They also provide training to enhance customer knowledge and reduce costs.
Logistics & Shipping
Special delivery services ensure product availability, using reusable containers to minimize environmental impact. Kitting of seal sets simplifies ordering and assembly processes.
Training and Support
Training courses on seal installation and assembly are available, improving technical team knowledge and reducing errors. Global distribution networks support aircraft fleets worldwide.
Online Tools
Trelleborg offers digital tools for design engineers, such as the Aerospace Groove Selector and Unit and Hardness Converter, accessible via their website and mobile apps.
