PAULSTRA

PAULSTRA^® designs and develops vibration and acoustic insulation systems, dynamic sealing and magnetic encoding for the automotive, railroad, aerospace, marine, offshore, defense and industrial markets.

Expertise acquired... out of thin air
PAULSTRA^® has been developing its unparalleled expertise in the vibro-acoustic field since 1934.
It all began in aeronautics when the founder, Jean-Felix Paulsen, developed Dynaflex^® for dealing with the baffling problems resulting from the transmission of motor vibrations to aircraft wings.

Countering all vibrations
European leader in vibration and acoustic insulation, PAULSTRA^® now offers a full range of over 2000 standard parts and over 5000 specific parts.
PAULSTRA^® antivibration systems are designed with all sectors in mind including automotive, railroad, aerospace, marine, offshore, defense and industrial applications. They are adaptable to all types of vibrations.
The specific knowledge acquired in materials and the relationship between rubber and metal have provided the foundation for further development of new product lines, from dynamic sealing to coded information for new mecatronic systems.

Comfort and safety
With its oil seals, rubber/metal pistons, magnetic encoders, couplings, articulated rubber seals, mounting systems, acoustic linings or de-icing systems, PAULSTRA^® participates in improving the comfort and safety in various modes of transport including automotive, trains, subways, tramways, airplanes, helicopters, surface vessels and submarines. PAULSTRA^® has also equipped the Ariane 5 European launcher.

Diversity of techniques and materials
PAULSTRA^® can offer skills that allow for combining different techniques and materials for continually providing the best solution as functions evolve.
PAULSTRA^® thus offers widely varied solutions for combating unwanted vibrations. These include supports that are conventional, hydraulic, pilotable and active, silicone mounting systems, composite absorption mounting systems, spring mounting system and metal cushions, laminated stops, elastomer mounting systems and cable damper systems. The solutions may combine a wide variety of materials including all types of elastomers, thermoplastics, plastics, steels, aluminum and magnesium.
In acoustics, PAULSTRA^® offers a wide range of viscoelastic anti-friction layers as well as material for structural shock absorption.

The increased life span of elements and ever greater intervals between maintenance operations are guaranteed by oil seals in elastomers or in PTFE PAULSTRA^®.

PAULSTRA^®, rubber / metal pistons, designed with the help of calculating tools for finished elements that require specific stamping know-how, ensure conversion from hydraulic energy into mechanical energy throughout the various transmission systems.
Mecatronics represent a formidable new challenge to the industrial world.

Quality, efficiency and reliability
PAULSTRA^®’s know-how is the fruit of its ongoing contact with companies that are world leaders in their specialty. No matter how harsh the environment, PAULSTRA^® has the answer to the most precise and demanding specifications.
