Aircraft brake Ebrake®

The Ebrake® was the first electric braking system to fly successfully on a commercial aircraft with no hydraulic fall-backs. Our latest advanced design is used on the Airbus A220 (formerly the Bombardier C-series). The electronic actuator is one of the most compact, yet efficient of its kind. We pioneered this technology. Some of the challenges we had to overcome were: EMI compliance high vibration levels fluid and debris contamination rough handling during ground manoeuvres thermal cycling experienced during high energy stops combined with the actuator’s own internal heat
