These braces, traditionally made with steel, were initially fabricated from aluminum for a solid weight savings of 3 kg per vehicle over steel versions. Each cradle brace is a two-foot long, rectangular bar with a “U” shape machined into our engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating.

THE CHALLENGE Vibratory conveyors are frequently used to process a variety of materials, from heavy duty powder and bulk solids to delicate berries and potato chips. Made in the USA Avient’s Gordon Composites vibratory springs are manufactured in Montrose, Colorado using materials sourced from US suppliers.

Propellers made from polymer composites have a number of benefits over steel and aluminum alternatives, including improved impact resistance and vibration damping properties. With a Piranha composite propeller, the blades flex and absorb energy from minor impacts.
