Umbra's bid to attract customers outside the US and Europe has brought the ballscrew manufacturer back to Paris where it can be found in Hall 4/E4.
The company manufactures ballscrews for aeronautic and industrial use. Very few changes have been necessary since the original design 50 years ago; Umbra now supplies its flap ballscrews for use on the Boeing 747, 777, 767 and both old and new generation 737s, among other customers.
Unlike chrome-plated ballscrews, the Cronidor-30 ballscrews used in the 737 have been tested to outlast the projected life of the aircraft without the need for removal, repair or overhaul.
