For decades, we've served as a leading supplier of high reliability, integrated products and solutions for U.S. and International Space programs. Space-qualified stepper motors, BLDC motors and resolvers for Satellites and Space exploration vehicles are core competencies. Ducommun designed and built actuators for the Rover Stand-up Operation on the NASA Mars Exploration Rover and Brushless DC motors for the Mars Pathfinder program. We built 42 resolvers for the International Space Station (ISS). Our latest programs include the design and manufacturing of resolvers for NASA's Frontiers Mission to Jupiter and resolvers and variable reluctance resolvers for the historic Mars 2020 Mission Perseverance Rover. Examples of other critical missions and Space programs for which we have used our significant Engineering, Design, Production & Manufacturing expertise to build custom and Space-Qualified products and solutions include:
Military & Defense Markets
Ducommun's highly specialized stepper and DC electric motors, position sensors (resolvers) and electromechanical actuators are found in antennas, waveguide systems, gimbals for azimuth and elevation positioning, missile wing deploy and CAS (control actuation system) motors. We continue to lead the industry as a manufacturer of high quality, reliable products with proven success in demanding applications for military aircraft, submarines, ground defense and weapon systems.
Upstream Oil & Gas Markets
Ducommun offers decades of experience in designing and manufacturing highly reliable motors and alternators for downhole oil exploration tools. The motors are used many miles beneath the earth's surface at extreme temperatures of up to 260° C and high pressures of up to 30,000 psi. Our latest development of high-efficiency motors provides additional reliability for the increasingly demanding downhole drilling environment.
