Aerospace Precision Components

Serving the Aerospace Industry

The ability of CNC Swiss screw machines to hold close tolerances while machining complex geometries in a wide variety of materials makes them ideal for machining many aerospace components. Swissturn USA has become a trusted partner to many manufacturers in the aerospace sector thanks to the combination of our excellent team and our Swiss screw machines.

Aerospace components that we commonly manufacture

Aerospace Fasteners: Swiss screw machines can efficiently produce small screws, bolts, nuts, and other fasteners required in aerospace assemblies. Swissturn is a leader in the production of miniature screw threads. We manufacture hex socket screws, star drive screws, slotted hex drives, and many other types of screws. Many of our fasteners are NAS-type and are stocked in a wide range of thread sizes, lengths, and head styles.

Connectors: We can manufacture intricate connectors used in electrical and mechanical systems within aircraft and spacecraft. Common connector materials include brass, tellurium, copper, and silver.

Bushings and Bearings: Our CNC Swiss screw machines produce precision bushings that play critical roles in aerospace applications. We have in-house honing capabilities to help size and finish internal diameters where a machined finish is insufficient.

Shafts and Axles: Swiss screw machines can create shafts and axles with high precision and smooth surfaces for vital components in aerospace systems. Using our CNC Swiss with live tooling, we can machine flats on shafts, knurls, and cross-drilled holes. Swissturn has in-house centerless grinding capability using our Cincinnati centerless, small Royal Master centerless grinding.

Valves: Our team produces various valve components thanks to our Swiss screw machines.

Fittings: Aerospace fittings, including hydraulic and pneumatic fittings, can be manufactured precisely and accurately using our CNC Swiss machines.

Sensor Components: Swissturn often manufactures sensor components to measure various parameters in aircraft and spacecraft systems.

Actuators: Another part commonly manufactured at Swissturn is the actuators that drive movable parts and control surfaces in aerospace vehicles.

Instrumentation Components: Various precision instrumentation components, such as knobs, dials, and indicators, can be manufactured using these machines.

Optical Components: Swiss screw machines can produce small, high-precision optical components used in avionics and satellite systems.
