Heroux-Devtek Spain selected S.S. White Technologies to provide flexible rotary shafts and 90-degree gearboxes for the main deck cargo door drives on Embraer E-Jets Freighters—the E190F and E195F. The former company won a contract from Embraer in November to design, develop, and manufacture the main deck cargo door actuation system for the E190F/E195F Freighter conversion program.

For this application, S.S. White will supply two flexible rotary shafts and 90-degree gearboxes that enable the manual operation of the power drive that operates the door via a pressure-sealed interface through the aircraft’s skin.
