TECHLAM

TECHLAM^® mechanical systems are based on lamination technology. They are found in many applications in four leading sectors: defense, aerospace, offshore and railroad.

One system, many functions
TECHLAM^® has been designing and creating mechanical assemblies since 1988 using rubber/metal laminates that respond to clients’ functional specifications. Their purpose is to absorb vibrations, ensure proper sealing and control movements.

Stopping vibrations
Many TECHLAM^® laminates can be found on board nuclear submarines. Whether they are placed on the steering gear, on the piping for stopping the spread of noise or under missiles for protecting them, these systems have a major role in acoustic stealth and for the security of these strategic vessels.
On board the European Ariane 5 launcher, other mechanical systems absorb the oscillations generated by the boosters’ thrust and thus protect the launcher’s guidance system as well as the satellites to be put into orbit.

Some very special laminates
In the field of deepwater drilling where wells are sunk to depths surpassing 3000 feet under the sea, TECHLAM^® designs complete systems designed to ensure a perfect linkage between the rigid risers and the floating structures.
The Cernay site is highly involved in the railroad sector for which it creates, among other things, guidance systems that facilitate tracing of subway and streetcar routes. TECHLAM^® also markets inter-body ball seals used for articulating railroad cars.
