Pivot Point Kinematics

The core competences of RO-RA are the development, product definition, qualification & testing as well as the production of pivot point kinematics which comprise of the pivot mechanism, damper unit, lift assist and damper bin brackets.
The development comprises of the conceptual design, 3D modeling, 2D engineering, stress calculation and verification, acoustics and vibration computation, ultimate compression & tension load analysis & testing, fatigue cycling & windmilling analysis & testing, weight evaluation as well as environmental testing according to industry standards or unique customer requirements.
The benefits of our lift assisted kinematic system are:
Simple and quick installation and removal of the stowage bin units by using an integrated clip system
Light weight solution by utilizing thermoplastic materials for the pivot point elements considering high stiffness, loading and cycling requirements.
Very low lift assist requirements for the closing of the stowage bins and significant support of the damper system during the opening process
The pivot point kinematics was developed to support narrowbody and widebody interior configurations and provides a modularity concept.
