Aerospace & Defense
From deployed defense platforms to precision aerospace machining cells, Hennig builds the holding, safety, and protection systems that are trusted when failure isn't an option.
Why partner with Hennig for Defense & Aerospace Systems
Field-tested solutions for Defense & Aerospace
Hennig systems are simpler to design in, more affordable than common alternatives, and easier to service in the field. With hundreds of thousands of units deployed over 20+ years, Hennig is the solution to position-and-hold problems.
The Challenges
Where Defense & Aerospace operations break down
Defense and aerospace operations run under constant pressure in mission-critical operations. Overly complex systems and demanding conditions create challenges for even the best teams in the field.
-
Overbuilt hydraulic circuits: Counterbalance valves, pilot-operated check valves, and integrated locking schemes add cost, complexity, and failure points.
-
Service limitations: Locks built into the cylinder assembly turn every field repair into a depot job and every plant rebuild into a production shutdown.
-
Environmental exposure: Sand, salt, and moisture damage deployed defense platforms, while titanium swarf, high-pressure coolant, and abrasive contamination attack aerospace machining cells.
-
Safety and compliance issues: OSHA CPL 02-01-043, DGUV, AS9100, and defense procurement traceability leave no room for improvised workarounds.
-
Unreliability: Mission success for a deployed vehicle can be put at risk by one stuck lock. A failed safety catcher on a production press can waste an entire shift.
