Complete 360 Degree Solution to an Aircraft’s Interior Noise and Vibration Challenges

Parker Lord approaches each project with the same process: strive to offer a 360 degree solution and try to isolate all the surfaces in the passenger cabin. Highlighted here are mounts that are particularly good for aircraft interior applications including sidewall panels, floor panels, close-out panels, rod ends and grommets. The performance of these parts will focus on attenuating the noise paths to the passenger by isolating discrete attach points in panels, bulkheads, windows, etc.

Some of the benefits of LORD interior mounts are their compact geometry, lightweight materials, Failsafe designs and the quick installing snap-in and thread locking features. Also included with some of the parts is LORD proprietary silicone elastomer providing incredible cold temperature performance while meeting flame, smoke and toxicity requirements.

Also available to customers in the earlier stages of designing an aircraft is the LORD engineering staff that can work with an aircraft OEM to achieve better cabin acoustics. Through years of isolation experience, LORD has come up with guidelines to achieve a quieter cabin.
