Hutchinson Aerospace & Industry (formerly Barry Controls): Suspension Components for Passenger Rail Cars

Hutchinson Aerospace & Industry (formerly Barry Controls)

We prefer to develop technology focused on customer needs. Current work for some customers includes Active Vibration Control and "Smart Structures" (incorporating shock and vibration control directly into the structure of the customers' payload).Our focus in Active Vibration Control is in cost control and robustness; the technical solutions have been around for some time, but commercialization into robust, cost conscious products is our goal, and we are making great strides. Smart Structures save cost and space envelope while reducing part count and improving performance. Hutchinson has been a global leader in rubber and other elastomeric materials technology for over 160 years. We are constantly innovating, improving performance and enabling customers to reach greater heights with smaller envelopes and better payload protections. Advancements are made in fire and smoke toxicity, heat resistance, longevity and fatigue life, and many materials properties such as damping and low and high temperature performance as a function of temperature. Please bring us your problem - Because We Make it Possible.
