ADVERTORIALS Advanced Silicone Materials for Drone
and UAV Manufacture As the role of drones and unmanned aerial vehicles evolves in today’s world hardware boundaries are constantly being pushed. Techsil understands these unique challenges and offers a broad range of silicone products that can provide environmental protection, increase hardware reliability, improve sensor performance and extend component life.
You may ask why you would choose silicones for Drone and UAV manufacture. The
answer is simple, they offer properties perfectly suited to the challenges faced. They deliver a sustained flexibility in extremely low temperatures whilst also offering excellent dielectric and thermal insulation. They provide UV and Ozone resistance and will cure at room temperature, no heat required! Working in partnership with Momentive Performance Materials, from launch to landing,
our range advanced silicone products enable the next generation of UAVs. Contact us to speak with our Technical Team for more information.

Industrial Applications Push-Pull: One technology in three connector series - developed and produced by Yamaichi Electronics
The standard – M12 Y-Circ M with space-saving internal push-pull locking mechanism The push-pull version with internal locking of the M12 connector is the first M12 push-pull design to be implemented in an international standard (IEC 61076-2-012). The system only requires as much installation space as M12 connectors with screw locks. However, the classic screw lock is still available. Moreover, M12 sockets can be completely integrated into the end device.
The industrial connector – Y-Con RJ45 Y-Con was developed for harsh industrial applications. Hence the new push-pull version is designed for IP protection class IP67 / IP68 / IP69K and is 100% backwards-compatible with the Y-ConCover- 40-PP, which has been established for years but has been revised and slimmed down. The system still offers the well-known shock and vibration resistance, which was already implemented into the former product. Additionally, cables with M12 (Y- Circ M) or metal push- pull connectors (Y- Circ P) are available.
The better all-rounder – Y-Circ P circular push-pull connector The metal circular push-pull connector Y-Circ P with patented half-shell design is used, for example, in measuring and test equipment. With its robust push-pull locking mechanism fast and easy contacting and release is possible. Thanks to the unlocking aid, even in small spaces.

Technical impeller moulder poised for
eVTOL take-off By 2025 the electrical vertical take-off and landing market (eVTOL) is projected to be worth $524 and is anticipated to more than triple to $1.9 billion by 2035. With such a huge growth curve on the horizon, at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2022 (Stand C195), longstanding technical moulding, tooling and assembly specialist Broanmain Plastics will showcase its precision manufacturing prowess.
Indicative of Britain’s appetite to stay at the forefront of eVTOL innovation, the UK Civil
Aviation Authority recently unveiled an international consortium of eVTOL leaders. To assist these decision makers, throughout the exhibition Broanmain specialists will demonstrate to visitors sustainable ways it can help manage complex precision tooling projects. The team will also share guidance on maintaining quality control when manufacturing lightweight high performance plastics and the benefits of using glass fibre reinforced polyamides in components that require additional strength and rigidity.
Managing Director Jo Davis affirms: “In the emerging EV and eVTOL market,
dimensional stability, material resilience and safety are critical. Our technical experts have extensive skills in developing high performance applications and moulding components using materials that deliver the perfect balance of strength, toughness and weight reduction.” These polyamides are used in everything from propulsion, avionics, sensors, controls and actuators to battery protection.
Having won a number of new domestic technical manufacturing projects during the
pandemic , Broanmain recently scaled up its precision and safety moulding capabilities investing in an all-electric Sumitomo (SHI) Demag IntElect 180 ton machine. Giving the company the extra capacity needed to rapidly ramp up production when British EV and eVTOL projects take off.
The exhibition location is not lost on Jo. She comments: “Urban air mobility is one of the
most exciting developments of this century with the reality of low carbon passenger carrying drones edging ever closer. Given its location, Farnborough is the natural hub for testing future eVTOL commercial concepts.”
Describing it as a natural transition for the mature engineering and technical moulding
firm, Jo is confident that UK tier 3 and 4 suppliers are well placed to support this next milestone in urban travel.
Jo concludes: “For eVTOL OEMs and innovators seeking bespoke moulded and fabricated
safety components all managed and finished through a single UK-based supplier, Broanmain has the CNC milling skills, tooling, production and assembly resources on site.”
