Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Mounts
APU attachment systems are designed to meet the critical requirements of safety and system retention while delivering high performance vibration and noise attenuation.
Our solutions can be applied to both small (typically less than 250 pounds) and large (>250) APU systems in either bed- or suspension-mounted configurations. These technologies are also applicable to the new turbo generator systems under development for the more electric and hybrid electric aircraft.
Key Attributes:
Applications:
Note: Various aircraft have a wide range of APU sizes and weights, each with unique isolation systems.

The Mechanics of Engine Mounts
Our engine mounts are a simplified solution to control the motion of an engine. Made up of few parts, they are quick and easy to install. While there is no standard expected life for engine mounts in service, it is vital to understand how to maintain and inspect them in order to maintain optimal conditions.
