System Applications for Civil Helicopters
We design and manufacture mechatronic products to support our customers’ innovation and enable the electrification of their helicopters through our Pilot Control Interfaces (Drive-by-Wire), our Electrical Control and Protection (Electrical Distribution) and our solutions for Controlling and Detecting the Initiation of Helicopter Systems (Electrical Motion). We provide 24/7 services worldwide for helicopters in operation, such as maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), spare parts distribution and helicopter instrumentation.
Electrical Power Distribution:
Crouzet designs and manufactures a complete range of Electrical Control and Protection solutions to manage electrical distribution on board aircraft and protect cables and electrical equipment from overcurrents and overvoltages. With Hermetically Sealed Relays, Thermal Circuit Breakers, Remote Control Circuit Breakers (RCCB), Hybrid Circuit Breakers incorporating electronics, and solutions integrating power electronics, we meet the requirements of all ATA24 chapters according to MIL and EN standards. Our DesignLAB currently offers solutions suitable for 230VAC and 270VDC networks, integrating all functions into Electrical Distribution Panels.
Flight Control Pilot Interfaces:
Crouzet Pilot Interfaces for flight controls offer a unique piloting experience, ensuring precise and reliable transmission of pilot commands to the onboard computer. Our Control Grips, equipped with a wide range of Control Buttons, Electrical Dampers, and Position Sensors, contribute to safer flights while complying with the latest certification requirements for all ATA27 pilot controls. Our DesignLAB is currently developing sidesticks and electromechanical digital actuators to meet the needs of future fly-by-wire helicopters.
Flight Control Actuation System:
Crouzet Motion Control provides mechatronic products for executing and controlling the electrical movements of flight controls, with design and validation capabilities for Electromechanical Actuators. Our 28VDC Actuators, Position Sensors, Proximity Sensors, and Hermetic Limit Switches are tailored to customer specifications and meet the requirements of ATA27. We also develop Force Sensors and High-Power Density Motors to support the electrification of helicopters.
Landing Gear System:
Crouzet provides mechatronic solutions to implement and control landing gear operations in accordance with ATA32, from the pilot control interfaces to the rudder lever and control buttons. This includes electrical distribution and protection with Thermal Circuit Breakers, Hermetic Sealed Relay, and Landing gear position and force control: wheel weight measurement, rudder position, door position, landing gear extension and retraction kinematics, and landing gear locking using proximity sensors, Hermetic Limit Switches, and Force Sensors.
Cabin Systems and furnishings:
Crouzet Motion Control provides mechatronic products that comply with ATA25 and ATA44. Our Position Sensors, Proximity Sensors, Hermetic Limit Switches, and Microswitches, tailored to customer specifications, are used in the cabin to improve the safety and comfort of crew members and passengers. Our range of Electrical Protection products protects cables and electrical equipment from overcurrents and overvoltages.
Doors & Cargo accessories:
Crouzet Motion Control provides mechatronic products to ensure and control the electrical movements of cargo doors, hatches, and equipment, with design and validation capabilities for Electromechanical Actuators. Our 28VDC Actuators, Position Sensors, Proximity Sensors, and Hermetic Limit Switches, customized to customer specifications, comply with ATA49 and ATA52. We also develop Force Sensors and High-Power Density Motors to support aircraft electrification.
Fuselage:
Crouzet ensures the structural integrity and reliability of helicopter structures during ground and flight tests. We work with our customers to measure structural forces and stresses on critical parts such as landing gear, engines, and wings. Crouzet also provides Hybrid Circuit Breakers with arc-fault detection, providing protection against arc flashes that can damage the helicopter structure.
Nacelle & Pylon:
Crouzet Motion Control provides mechatronic products to ensure and control the electrical movements of nacelle doors and air cooling hatches, with design and validation capabilities for Electromechanical Actuators. Our 28VDC Actuators, Position Sensors, Proximity Sensors, and Hermetic Limit Switches, customized to customer specifications, comply with ATA54 and ATA79 chapters.
Engine Control System:
Crouzet provides mechatronic solutions for controlling and securing engine power in accordance with ATA76, from Pilot Control Interfaces with Throttle Control Lever and Critical Buttons, to Electrical Control & Protection Distribution with Thermal Circuit Breakers, Hermetic Sealed Relays, and engine component control, including gearbox actuation and muting systems using Proximity Sensors and Hermetic Limit Switches.
