UAV Ball Screw
Emcor Incorporated has delivered multiple orders of ball screws utilized on unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, to primary suppliers of these important aircraft. These ball screws are processed in larger batch quantities made possible by the flexibility of Emcor manufacturing systems and processes, thus achieving the critical price point desired by the customer. Delivery schedules are very critical for the customer so parts are processed in multiple channels to ensure the dock dates are achieved.
UAV ball screws manufactured by Emcor Inc. are an essential part of many critical flight systems.
