Custom design and manufacturing for the most mission critical applications - To date ABSSAC has been involved with components for engines, flight controls, propulsion, landing gear, test rigs, wind tunnels, interiors, avionics as well as being placed within the most advanced space exploration vehicles. As an expert provider of custom-focused manufacturing solutions, we are completely dedicated to on-time delivery of quality, cost-effective parts.

Innovation and advanced engineering 

The depth of experience of our technical team helps deliver rapid response times for both large run orders and difficult designs. Taking pride in the close contact we have with our customers, their demands are met with exact specifications and the highest standards for reliability and quality. We come through with advanced manufacturing techniques and processes that yield unrivalled innovation.

Something Innovative - All the performance, less weight

Our latest aerospace creation functions like a spring, but doesn't look like one at all. It’s a lightweight, stackable Bellville washer set made of carbon fibre and took 18 months to develop. To achieve just the right spring rate and deflection for an application, you simply add or remove washers from the stack. The standard assembly weighs up to half as much as a Titanium spring, but delivers all the performance for less cost. The unique design, pricing, and lightweight construction give this spring the potential to be a true game changer in the aerospace market.

Something you cannot achieve by machining

Pushing the boundaries of the products, has required the development and manufacture of critical specs and high performance parameters with zero margins for error. For example the Servometer® product. Servometer assemblies have appeared in all NASA Space Shuttles and several military fighter jets as well as newer models currently in development. The bellows and assemblies are used in a variety of ways in aerospace applications but each product delivered comes with inherent reliability and quality. The Servometer® product offers lightweight construction, extreme temperature capability and small sizes just to name a few of the product advantages.

Something Ingenious – A spring machined from a solid piece of material

The Helical machined spring product supplied by ABSSAC has had tremendous success in fuel delivery systems in a number of commercial airline manufacturers as well as being involved in maintenance equipment and UAV applications. Offering a worldwide unique product ABSSAC supplies a precision spring that is actually machined from a solid piece of material. Linear spring rates, choices of material and complete flexibility on how you physically attach the spring to the application are some of the advantages this brings. The current successful Mars Curiosity program integrated helical springs and couplings into their critical designs where legitimate advantages of performance were fully taken advantage of. Because the products are commonly specified in mission critical components, everything is done to meet the rigorous system safety and performance standards of organisations such as the FAA, DoD, and NASA. To create custom springs the Quality Management System (QMS) AS9100 and ISO9001 can be applied – international standards that the Aircraft, Space, and Defence (AS&D) industry as well as the civil and military aviation industries rely on for quality management, safety, and reliability. Importantly we are also familiar with ITAR and highly experienced in working with DFARS materials.
