Vibration & Motion Control for Rotary Wing Aircraft
Our expertise was built on elastomerics, but has expanded much farther over the last 85 years. We believe our value to customers comes when we partner to design a complete system, including structures and attachments. We offer a full complement of engineering tools, including a fully-accredited dynamic test lab, plus all major design and analysis software.
Engine Mounts
We use our innovative technologies to design the best solutions for your aircraft including elastomeric and non-elastomeric mounts, full structures, yokes and attachments. LORD mounts and attachments provide the best solutions for your aircraft without compromise, resulting in lower risk and total cost for our customers.
Rotor Hubs & Major Sub Assemblies
Parker Lord has the engineering capability and expertise to deliver major sub assembly solutions, including pitch link assemblies, rod end assemblies, entire main and tail rotor hubs and rotor sub-components.
Pylon Isolators
Our Pylon Mounts isolate helicopter machinery from the aircraft structure, improving comfort and providing critical dynamic properties. Pylon Isolators are a key component to vibrational energy management in rotorcraft.
Equipment Isolators
Parker Lord's aerospace equipment vibration isolators set the standard for compact, high-load, high-capacity vibration isolation mounts. Our vibration isolators are designed to support and protect avionics equipment in all types of aircraft and defense systems.
Tail & Main Rotor Bearings
Our high capacity laminate (HCL) elastomeric tail and main rotor bearings not only provide superior motion accommodation in a variety of aerospace applications, but also lower aircraft operating costs.
Tail & Main Rotor Dampers
Parker Lord Main and Tail Rotor Dampers (Lead Lag Dampers) use Fluidlastic™ technology or highly damped elastomers to manage dynamic energy.

Bell Rotor Hub Tension Torsion Straps — A Side-by-Side Comparison Says It All
A head-to-head comparison of LORD-made Bell 206 Tension Torsion (TT) Straps with a competitor’s offering led to alarming results. The surprise came from the numbers — and the staggering difference between them.
AS350 Main Rotor Spherical Bearing PMA Article
Here is an article published in the April/May 2021 issue of helicopter Maintenance Magazine about our PMA part for the AS350 Main Rotor Spherical Bearing.
Round Tube and Flat Surface? We Can Do That!
The old adage that you can’t fit a square peg into a round hole doesn’t hold true for Parker Lord. At least not when helicopters are concerned.
We’ve upgraded the elastomeric pad on the Bell 412 Aft Landing Gear Strap to better accept the load of the helicopter’s aft landing gear cross tube. Essentially placing a round object on a flat surface with little to no displacement or shift.

On-Demand Webinar: Rotorcraft Elastomeric Component Inspection
Used extensively on all modern helicopters, elastomeric components are one of the main reasons for the vast improvements in performance and reliability these new aircraft exhibit. These components use leading edge technologies not always well understood by maintenance personnel and pilots, even though they are called upon to inspect them on a regular basis. Our experience has shown that too often, parts are removed prematurely due to a misunderstanding of the construction and workings of these complex components.
This webinar explains the construction, function, maintenance and the inspection of these various types of components. This session is tailored to helicopter maintenance technicians but also benefits pilots, helping them with their daily inspections.
