With the successful launch of Europe’s new rocket, the Ariane 6, in July, we are proud to share how our custom screw jack solutions have supported the construction process these last few years.
On behalf of the European Space Agency, we worked with Jewers Doors to actuate the 70m high doors on the Ariane 6 Mobile Gantry in French Guiana. The gantry, which moves along rails, provides access to the launch vehicle and protects it until just before launch.
The main challenges include managing loadings, including door weight and wind loads, which require the jacks to handle varying compression and tension forces.
