Aerospace – Defense – Medical

From bone screws and heart valves to jet fighters and space shuttles, Hydra-Lock’s expertise and impact can be felt inside the human body, outside the Earth’s atmosphere, and everywhere in between. Our expertise within the aerospace, defense and medical industries stems back decades, which allows us the capability to engineer part-holding and tool-holding solutions for any component. And as the industries have evolved since the 1940s, Hydra-Lock has evolved with them, developing innovative chucks and arbors that hold various ID/OD components ranging in size, material and complexity.

Holding Tolerance for Man and Machine

Hydra-Lock continues to lead the way in two critical areas that are often put to the test by tight tolerance requirements or difficult-to-handle materials—accuracy and repeatability. The manufacture and assembly process demands a lot from your part-holding supplier. We deliver holding excellence beyond expectations for:

• Cutting and machining
• Measurement, inspection and metrology
• Balance
• Assembly and disassembly

Discover how Hydra-Lock can provide your organization with the work-holding confidence you need to machine the parts of today…and tomorrow.
