DTI's Spring-Fast Eliminates Adhesives from Wire-protection Grommets
Ease of installation, durability proving to be draw for OEMs and MROs.
DTI’s Spring-Fast self-securing grommet edging technology is a simple, cost-effective way to protect wiring from chafing against airframe parts.

Protecting wires from chafing is a must on every aircraft, from the assembly line to the maintenance hangar, but it's far from an aviation-only challenge. Massachusetts-based Device Technologies, Inc. (DTI, Booth C11844) has taken a concept it originally developed for the information-technology world and brought it to aerospace, and it's taking hold. DTI's snap-on, self-securing grommet edging, Spring-Fast, is being used by both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and maintenance providers to protect wire bundles from metal aerostructure edges. A cushioned interface provides protection on the side facing the wire bundles, while a patented polymer coating provides durability that exceeds that of traditional plastic grommets, according to DTI.
