EAGLE ENGINEERING AEROSPACE

BREAKTHROUGH
Towards Aviation and Aerospace Engineering

EEA, formerly Eagle EG&G Aerospace, was founded in 1988 as a joint venture
between the U.S. high-tech conglomerate EG&G and Eagle Industry Co., Ltd.
(the core company of the NOK group, a Japanese pioneer in seal engineering).
Eagle Industry acquired 100% equity in EEA in 1999 to control business expan-
sions. In 2000, the company name was changed to Eagle Engineering Aero-
space Co., LTD.
EEA has achieved good results in a wide variety of design, manufacture, engin-
eering, procurement, and technical information services related to aerospace
machinery and components. Aerospace engineering involves massive consider-
ation in areas of high pressures, high temperature and cryogenic, vacuums, and
high-speed rotation, bundled with reliability diagnostics. With methods of testing
and evaluation reaching higher levels, greater reliability and complexity in this
field is demanded. Also, because energy conservation and cost reduction are on
a global scale, aerospace technology is becoming more diverse and complex.
EEA is aiming to be at the leading edge of this era by compiling technology and
engineering knowledge, expanding parts supply, and building a global engineer-
ing information network.

SKILLS & INSIGHT


With its technical experience, EEA is proud of its ability to provide
engineering "SKILLS" in the areas of software and hardware. Al-
though seal engineering and friction control technology are still the
core of EEA, it is this engineering base that allows us to foresee and
solve development and operational themes. Our knowledge also
enables us to organize and manage collaborative projects while
taking into account environmental, social and economic require-
ments. As technical specialists we set our sights on the vision of the
next generation. We developed this image from "INSIGHT" gained
through technical analysis.Thus, our main engineering concept is
called "Technologies-Analytic Service for Aircraft & Space ".EEA, as
a group of Tech-Analysts, is aimed to be a "Theme Identifier", a
"Problem Solver", and a "Strategic Coordinator" in the development
and operation of aviation and space equipment.
The Solution Process we use is as follows:
1. Brainstorming: In focusing on the problem we have identified,
we integrate information while reviewing various data, thus find-
ing new directions and options for the solution.
2. System Thinking: Based on the selected approach, we look at
the problem from every angle in order to bring to light the inter-
relationships between all the factors. Thus, systematically, we
discern the central problem and the relationship between it and
other factors.
3. Experimentation: From a detailed estimate, we pursue a suitable
solution through precise experimentation.
4. Project Management: We consider each individual task with
future integration in mind, and thus develop a mutually profitable
means for managing the program.
As the global economy came into being, the world has shifted to a
more open marketplace, and this has brought a wave of deregula-
tion that has rippled through the aerospace industry. We are enter-
ing into an era of borderless competition and of global standards.
A new framework for the aerospace industry is emerging whereby
we must go beyond the search for a prosperous human society and
the development of the economy to conserve resources, save ener-
gy and preserve the earth by reducing CO2 emission and other
means.Through Tech-Analytic Service, EEA will break through what-
ever future developments or restrictions may surface in the busi-
ness frontiers.

SIGHTS SET ON THE NEXT GENERATION - Envisioning the Future
EEA began with major components like dynamic seals, static seals, welded bellow valves in fluid sealing and friction
control technology, but has since expanded into a wide range of aerospace design and manufacturing fields such as
turbine engines, gearboxes, duct systems, pneumatic systems and fuel systems. EEA has also expanded into space
development areas such as rocket engines, turbopumps, satellites, space station equipment, and indeed, the rockets
themselves.Through cooperation with NASDA, Japan Aviation Engine Association, and advanced projects in R&D, EEA
has won high appreciation for its technology and engineering in structural analysis and design, and high-accuracy,
high-precision processes.

HISTORY&VISIONS
1966: Started with the J47 Engine gearbox seals

Licensed for production of jet fighter aircraft and engine


maintenance, the company pursued the limits of perfor-
mance which drove the introduction of leading edge materi-
als, processes, mechanism design and the latest in technol-
ogy.Eagle Industry, parent company of EEA, had developed
the gearbox seals for the J47 engine used for F86 in 1966. It
also developed a wide variety of aircraft products such as
mainshaft seals for the T58, T64, TJ79, JT8D, FJR710, F100
and aircraft seals, valves, ducts for the KV107, C-1, F4-EJ, ASUKA

YS-11, F104J, F-15J and P-3C.


To build on the achievements of Eagle Industry, EEA came
into being as a member of the EG&G Fluid Components
Technology Group, a group that is proud of its worldwide
achievements in the aerospace industry.
Since then, EEA has been establishing a reputation as a
group of engineering specialists, dedicated to the domestic
aircraft industry as well, through participation in projects like
the V2500 engine.In the satellite business field, we started
with the pump seals for liquid fuel rockets in 1967, contribut-
ing to all N and H type rocket projects.
EEA is also a manufacturer of the main functional devices
for earth observation satellites and the JEM project, part of
the International Space Station project.With this rich techni-
cal background, EEA will continue to actively promote R&D
and the global network for technical information and materi-
als procurement. EEA is, and will remain, at the tip of aero-
space engineering, driven by the demand for higher effi-
ciency, higher reliability, better harmony with the
environment, lower energy use and greater cost efficiency.

TECHNOLOGY FIELDS
Fundamental technology, Elemental technology,
and the expansion of Applied technology
On aircraft engines, the technology has moved from turbojets
to the fuel economical turbofans, and high-bypass engines.
From there, the technology has progressed to lightweight and
high-bypass rates by using composite material.
Corresponding market needs influence technical fields like in
the acceleration of digital control technology in fuel system
and pneumatic systems. Various innovations are accelerated
by a single technical improvement.
Aviation and space equipment gives shape to various
applications by condensing fundamental technologies like
mechanical design, structural-design analysis, material
design, electronics-based process design, sealing / friction
control, high-accuracy / high-precision / lightweight test
evaluation, reliability analysis, and quality assurance.

With superior experience in designing and manufacturing


main-shaft seals, EEA established adaptable technical fields
in engine surrounding, accessory, pneumatic / fuel system,
duct, accessory etc.
Even in space development, from fundamental research
stage of domestic rockets, EEA supplies challenging
engineering, related to special environmental limits like
cryogenic, high-temperature, vacuum, high-pressure, etc.
Thanks to the breadth and depth of its technical knowledge,
EEA is also working as a member of Research Institute of

In order to seal compressed air and high temperature
gas, and the lubricating oil, the main shaft seal of jet
engine is used in the very severe conditions under high
pressure or high temperature in the entrance and the
back exhaust part of a combustion chamber, In recent
years, responding to output power improvement, gas
pressure to be sealed is more and more increasing,
and the leakage from a seal part cannot be neglected
in high performance engines, because of causing such
as oxidization of lubricating oil, and a waste oil pump
size must be increased to respond to this trend.
In a main shaft seal application, EEA is the only one
company in Japan who has the results. In order to re-
spond to a trend of higher performance of jet engines,
our structure design technology, which controls the
composition material technology and load of a seal
technology, is widely applied.

Although the practical speed limit of the mechanical seal for high-
speed application is said to be about 100m/s, this limit is originated by
the dynamic responsibility, and heat generation level caused by fric-
tion.
Especially, under a high-speed condition, heat decomposition of the oil
occurs by temperature rise of a sealing contact portion, and damage a
surface or it deposits on a seal part, and also sealing contact portion
material exceeds a heat resistant limit, and a seal is worn out at an ear-
ly stage.
For this reason, removal of heat generated by friction, such as installa-
tion of a cooling system, serves as the important device which influen-
ces a seal performance and a life.
In EEA, original research and development are conducted to these en-
gineering subjects, and various dynamic seals, such as a metal weld-
ing bellows type, O ring seal type, a clearance seal, and a segmented
seal, and the marginal performance of a seal sealing material are stud-
ied.

seal is mainly used as an object for gas seals in duct related
products, such as the housing of gas turbine engine, the joint
of a rocket engines turbine pumps, and couplings. In other
case, there is a wide range application for gas and a seal for
liquids in the range from a high vacuum to a high pressure.

This is the highly effective self force in-

the seal load to which the fluid pressure is
applied. The elastically stable part of a fork
