Control System Hardware
|
Sullivan Control System Hardware is engineered to be the best you can buy. Every component is designed to be simple to install and unbreakable under normal conditions. Our Gold-N-Clevises are widely recognized as the very best made, our steel control horns are strong, stiff and light, and our Ball Joints are the only links that have a locking sleeve.
Only the best materials are used: Hardened, tempered steel, Valox®, Glass reinforced nylon and Nickel are among the specifications.
We make nearly every component needed to transmit motion from a servo to a control surface. If you have specific application questions, our product engineers at tech@sullivanproducts.com or at 410-732-3500 will be happy to assist.
