Defence Technology
Security and defence technology places special demands on the components used. Special requirements regarding the operating conditions – whether at +40°C in the desert or -40°C in mountainous regions, in the thickest mud or ultra-fine dust, at high altitudes or salty air – must be taken into account in the development of the components in order to ensure trouble-free and low-maintenance operation.
Thanks to our decades of experience in railway technology, shipping and applications in the field of heavy vehicles and machines, such as mining trucks, excavators, wheel loaders and transporters, we are able to develop suitable solutions for the special requirements of military technology. Last but not least, our specially developed insulation and moisture protection system ensures that the components are reliably protected against a wide range of environmental influences in the long term.
From EMC filters for reconnaissance and radar systems on water, on land and in the air, brake resistors for military off-road vehicles or robots for explosive ordnance disposal, to current transformers and EMC filters for use in tanks – REO develops and manufactures the optimal solution according to the special requirements of our partners at its German production sites. We support the development and design of the desired components and carry out measurements, tests and simulations – also on site at our client’s premises.
Tests such as shock and vibration tests, salt spray tests, cold and heat tests, G-force tests or tests for waterproofness or fire protection are used to ensure the durability of the components.
Defence Technology Highlight
REO products are used worldwide under extraordinary conditions – be it in extreme temperatures, in dirty environments, on the high seas or even at an altitude of 3,000 meters. External influences such as water, salt, dust, gases and corrosive media as well as mechanical influences such as vibrations or oscillations must not impair the functionality of the products. The REO components from the heavy-duty sector are specially designed for such environmental influences. Their special design ensures maximum protection against mechanical, chemical or biological influences and ensures a high level of functional reliability and a long service life.
Thanks to our many years of experience, REO products are known to be reliable for many years, even in the harshest conditions. To ensure the safety of people and components, REO uses high protection classes. We offer a protection class value of up to IP69K for a large part of our product range.
Our components have to prove their durability under extreme test conditions. These include shock and vibration tests, salt spray tests, cold and heat tests, and tests for waterproofing and fire protection.
