Top 5 Braided Copper Wire Applications in
Aerospace
2
Copper wires are widely used in marine and
automotive industry. The wires have also found
their applications in aerospace and mining
industries. The properties like high thermal
resistance, electrical conductivity and ductility
makes copper wires a standard metal for use in
aerospace industry, beating the likes of
stainless steel and titanium. Cheapest to
manufacture and longest shelf life are other
benefits of using braided copper wires.

Here are 5 applications of braided copper wires
in aerospace industry. 1. Aircraft bushings and
bearings The manufacturing of aircraft bearing
and bushing as per the latest industry standards
requires adherence to precision and tolerance
limits. The military planes require adherence to
even higher standards. The copper wires are
manufactured as per the customer specifications
depending on many factors like the size of the
plane.

2. Hydraulic/Electric pumps shafts The rise
of braided copper wires in terms of quality has
led to massive innovations in the aircraft
manufacturing industry. The copper wires are
mixed with beryllium and nickel to add extra
strength. All aircraft hydraulic systems and
pump systems are powerful units that can be
deployed with Ram Air Turbine (RAT) to generate
high torques.

3. Landing gear circuits Landing gear circuit
facilitates the operation of wheel assembly and
braking system. It is an important assembly
considering the amount of safety regulations that
are associated with the system. The landing gear
circuit is equipped with high-quality
non-corrosive braided copper wires that can
resist impact force as well as the G-force at
high altitudes. Rough landings can sometimes
affect the whole circuit.

4. Anti-locking systems The events of emergency
landings in the aircraft industry have doubled in
the last decade. However, the rate of accidents
related to such landings has reduced by 500
percent! The credit goes to the use of braided
copper wires that are clubbed with optical
fibers. They are easy to apply and have a
failure rate of 0.0005 percent. Loaded with
beryllium alloys and nickel coating, the braided
copper wires maintain precision contact with end
terminals of the anti-braking system. With a
reaction time of less than 0.005 nanoseconds,
this is the most impressive application of the
braided copper wires in the aircraft industry.

5. Anti-fire and water sprinkler circuit High
strength and hardness of the braided copper wires
add to the list of the applications in the
aerospace industry. In an unfortunate event of
accident leading to fire, the sprinklers are
deployed immediately. The excellent anti-fire
properties and durability gives braided copper
circuit a solid edge when it comes to using them
in safety units. They are also used in airbag
deployment circuits and emergency door circuits.
