Utility actuators are devices used to control motion of specific aircraft parts. They are commonly used for cabin, cargo and landing gear doors but are also used for retractable stairs, engine tans-cowl doors and landing gear steering and retraction. We can design, manufacture, and validate an actuator from basic hydraulic actuators to locking actuators with electronic feedback.
