Architecture Selection Guidance
Aerospace mechanisms need the screw decision to include documentation, vibration, temperature, lubrication, and supplier qualification evidence from the start. Inverted and high-stiffness roller screws are relevant when hydraulic replacement, compact EMA packaging, or flight-control load density are the primary constraints.
Application Decision Points
Flowdown and documentation scope
Send AS9100 or customer-specific flowdowns, MTC requirements, inspection records, and packaging constraints with the RFQ.
Risk if missed: A technically workable part can fail supplier qualification if documentation scope is defined after quotation.
Environment and vibration
Include temperature cycles, vibration profile, shock assumptions, lubricant restrictions, and storage conditions.
Risk if missed: Material, clearance, and lubrication choices can change when environment is added late.
Redundancy and acceptance evidence
Define whether the screw is flight-critical, ground support, test equipment, or non-critical payload mechanism.
Risk if missed: Acceptance criteria and inspection level differ sharply by criticality.

Quality Standard
Customer flowdowns, MTC, inspection records
Required evidence depends on criticality, buyer approval path, and qualification scope.
Supplier compliance:Confirm flowdowns, material certificates, alloy route, heat-treatment records, and inspection scope before sample release.
Hidden documentation gaps at qualification:Confirm material certificate, heat-treatment record, inspection report, and flowdown clauses before sample release.
Validation Path for Buyer Sign-Off
Step 1
Compliance pre-check
Documentation matrix for material, heat treatment, inspection, packaging, and customer flowdowns.
Acceptance: Buyer quality team confirms required records are included before sample PO.
Step 2
First article sample
Sample part with dimensional report, material record, hardness report, and lead accuracy evidence.
Acceptance: First article passes buyer inspection and environmental test planning.
Step 3
Qualified supply plan
Repeat-lot control plan, inspection frequency, and deviation handling path.
Acceptance: Supplier quality approves process control for the intended mechanism class.

Buyer FAQ
Can you provide EN 10204 3.1 certs?
Yes. EN 10204 3.1 material certificates and lot traceability can be included when the RFQ defines the required alloy, heat-treatment route, and inspection scope.
Do you support early DFM for flight-control packaging?
Yes. We review load path, support bearings, vibration profile, temperature range, and documentation flowdowns before recommending a screw architecture.
