In safety-critical applications – whether on land, at sea or in the air – reliability, durability and maximum resilience are essential. This is exactly where seals and plain bearings from ttv come into play. They perform precisely in military vehicles, equipment and systems under the toughest conditions – in heat, cold, mud, dust, vibration and high loads.
Defence applications place the highest demands on the components used:
• Extreme temperature ranges
• High levels of dirt and dust
• Heavy mechanical stress
• Long maintenance intervals and reliable operation during continuous use
Standard components quickly reach their limits here. That is why ttv supplies customised sealing and bearing solutions that meet military requirements – also in accordance with applicable standards and specifications.
With decades of manufacturing expertise in sealing and plain bearing technology, Made in Germany, ttv offers a high degree of development depth, technical advice and material diversity. The result: solutions that not only function under extreme conditions, but are also specifically tailored to the respective system – from wheel hub drives to tower locking systems.
Our in-house engineering department, state-of-the-art testing facilities and flexible production partners in Germany and Europe guarantee consistently high manufacturing quality and delivery reliability – even in critical situations.
Our components are indispensable in numerous military applications, including:
MECHANICAL FACE SEALS
provide reliable protection against the ingress of mud, water and dust – even on extreme terrain and under high continuous loads. Zu den Produkten >
