Aerospace & Government

Innovative, sophisticated and precise solutions that help keep things running when the stakes are high.

Whether aiding in the repair of a planes or lifting a bridge to prevent damage during inclement weather, EMC powered by Columbus McKinnon products are used for applications, both big and small, in the aerospace and government industries. With a full line of products, ranging from actuators to radio controls, our solutions are designed with precision and efficiency in mind.

EMC powered by Columbus McKinnon control systems are used in the manufacturing, maintenance and repair of commercial and planes, vehicles and even spacecrafts. Our hoists, cranes and automated lifting systems help ensure aerospace equipment production is efficient and on schedule, while reducing the risk of human error. Our mechanical actuators can be used to lift repair platforms and equipment.

We also supply drives, radio controls and linear actuators that allow for quick action when safety is on the line, whether you need to lift a security barrier or raise a bridge. EMC powered by Columbus McKinnon products get the job done.

Exploring space with Pfaff-silberblau

In the South African Karro semi-desert, astronomers are exploring space in the so-called MeerKAT project with the help of 64 radio telescopes from the German manufacturer Vertex Antennentechnik. The elevation movement of the antennas is realized with innovative technology from Columbus McKinnon Engineered Products, Kissing.

How are Control Systems Used in the Aerospace Industry?

Control systems used in the aerospace industry are subject to stringent requirements. Above all, they must be robust, reliable, and precise. More specifically, we’re talking about precise positioning of large and often unwieldly components. Duff-Norton is one Columbus McKinnon brand helping to address these challenges.
