GMT - Aircraft Noise and Vibration Damping Components

GMT (Gummi-Metall-Technik GmbH), with its headquarters in Bühl, Germany, designs special purpose mountings and other components for aircraft which offer high deflection whilst being able to absorb shock loads.

Mountings with incorporated rebound control features reduce excessive movement under shock loads, dampening sound and vibration. GMT's range of aircraft components includes:

• Hose mountings
• Window mountings
• Universal mountings
• Sealing rings
• Rubber plates

NOISE AND VIBRATION ISOLATING SYSTEMS

Mechanical vibrations and impact stresses are the biggest problems for engines and electronic equipment onboard aircraft. Therefore, very specific noise and vibration isolating systems have to be used to isolate these kinds of machines from vibrations.

A wide variety of products, from simple machine feet up to high-tech parts for well-known manufacturers in the railway, shipbuilding and aerospace industries, allow GMT to meet the most challenging customer requests and wishes.

Generally, GMT products can be used wherever noise or vibrations occur. All GMT parts are manufactured to the highest quality.

PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION

Founded by Chief Executive Officer Gerhard Engstler in 1968, GMT is now composed of production plants in Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, USA, and Malaysia and has sales branches and representatives throughout the world.

Due to a global network connecting GMT plants and sales offices worldwide there is a constant flow of information and know-how throughout the group. This enables GMT to solve technical problems quickly and efficiently. Response- and reaction time in cases of special customer inquiry can also be reduced to a minimum. These are some of the reasons why GMT is one of the world leaders in the field of sound and vibration dampening technology.

The production plants in Germany are certified by European standard DIN EN ISO 9001 and the Malaysian plant by QS 9000.
