Hardware components
Our mechanical design engineers use AutoCad and SolidWorks to design their hardware: mechanical linkages, pneumatic actuation systems, simulator flight controls.
We have designed and manufactured these in Australia and exported to our customers in Asia.

Mechanical linkages
A flight control at one end, an actuator exerting up to 5000 N at the other. The linkage in between must of course be strong and stiff enough, and in addition have minimal
friction and backlash. We have designed and manufactured such precision linkages, operating in the field today.

Seat ejection actuation system
We’ve built and tested a seat actuation system for an ejection trainer. The actuator had to be able to accelerate a test mass of 100 kg at 10 g maximum.
In order to test this, we've built a mini-rail track - the payload was installed on a small cart, propelled by the actuator, and decelerated by a car brake system installed on the cart.

Flight Controls
Atkom has delivered B-737 and B-777 flight controls for an overseas client. The flight controls were produced in Australia: two column/yokes, two sets of pedals,
and the complete throttle stand.
