Profiles: Goodrich Electrical Power Systems

Goodrich Electrical Power Systems is rising to the significant operating cost challenges facing the aerospace industry through the introduction of Diamond Range long life brushes for DC starter-generators. Goodrich has long been a market-leader in DC electrical power systems, incorporating the Lear-Siegler, Lucas and TRW brands, and is using its extensive knowledge to develop unique, proprietary long life brush technologies. Diamond Range brushes have been subjected to rigorous testing to OEM standards including altitude testing — not only to guarantee long life but also to ensure performance across the whole operating envelope and to avoid damage to expensive-to-repair generator internals. The combination of extensive testing and real-world flight test experience gives Goodrich the confidence to guarantee 1,000 hours life for these new brushes.

As well as these component innovations, Goodrich can offer innovative total maintenance solutions through a global network of in-house and quality-assured third-party MRO locations. Getting the right maintenance from OEM-trained technicians, using OEM quality parts, will ensure the best life and optimum performance from your DC starter-generators. Goodrich can give you the reassurance of fixed price and flight hour agreement with repairs by our service network, in your region.

Goodrich supports a wide range of AC generators, including oil-cooled generators for the Airbus single-aisle, long-range and A380 aircraft and is responding to airlines’ needs by offering asset management programs at a competitive cost.
