Defense Electronics
Seals, gaskets, and pads made from specialized materials that meet demanding requirements.
Stockwell Elastomerics serves companies that design and manufacture defense electronics such as radar systems, electronic warfare systems, handheld radios, military avionics, and ruggedized displays. These military applications often require seals, gaskets, or pads that are fabricated from specialized materials that meet demanding requirements.
As a Made in USA manufacturer, Stockwell Elastomerics inventories silicone rubber and other elastomers for defense electronics and fabricates them into finished parts at our facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Products include environmental seals and gaskets that also provide fire resistance, cushioning, electrical conductivity, or thermal management.
Defense Electronics Enclosures
Silicone gaskets for defense electronics need to seal out wind, water, and dust while protecting sensitive components from vibrations and temperature extremes. Stockwell Elastomerics helps engineers with material selection and makes military components such as battery door gaskets, cover gaskets, and cushioning pads, including components for uncrewed systems.
Communications Systems
Communications systems like military radios need weatherproof housings and shock-absorbing pads. Military connectors need EMI connector gaskets, but EMI/RFI shielding is also used around antenna bases and with RF modules. Stockwell Elastomerics serves companies that make this equipment, including tactical communications gear.
Radar, Sensing, and Surveillance Systems
Military radars, sensor modules, and surveillance systems need environmental gaskets for enclosure sealing. They also use thermal gap filler pads to dissipate heat from high-power RF electronics, and vibration damping pads made of silicone foam for cushioning. Stockwell Elastomerics fabricates these and other parts for defense electronics, including MIL-DTL-83528 EMI shielding gaskets.
Military Avionics
From the cockpit to the cabin to the engines, military avionics need silicone gaskets that support mission-critical performance. Stockwell Elastomerics makes avionics enclosure seals, display and instrument panel seals, high-temperature engine bay gaskets, silicone pads for vibration isolation, and seals for navigation and flight-control electronics.
Ruggedized Ground Electronics
Defense electronics that are carried by soldiers or mounted on vehicles need shock-absorbing silicone pads and enclosure gaskets that exclude water and dust. Thermal interface pads for power electronics and keypad and switch seals also support the mission. High-temperature seals are used around propulsion electronics, such as control panels, and ESD protection pads are used with ground support equipment.
Ruggedized Displays
In addition to ruggedized ground electronics, Stockwell Elastomerics provides seals, pads, and gaskets for ruggedized displays. Products range from large, one-piece molded EMI gaskets to smaller EMI seals that are made from cut-and-bonded lengths of EMI gasket materials. If light and dust sealing without EMI shielding is required, PORON cellular urethane can be used with display gaskets.
