Abrams M1A2 Commander Controller Assembly

Essex Industries is a leading manufacturer of platform controls supporting our partners with 75+ year’s defense supplier experience, lean MBE manufacturing, in-house testing, rapid prototyping/in-house 3D printing and an overwhelming drive to take care of our customers and the end user. Essex manufactures some of the most complex human-machine interface controls for the most advanced ground, and air combat vehicles in the world.

AMBIDEXTROUS CURSOR GRIP

The Ambidextrous Cursor Grip is designed for applications where there is not sufficient room for both right and left slew grips.  This single control is suitable for use by the right or left hand and mounts on the console between the seats for use by both pilot and co-pilot.

ERGONOMIC COLLECTIVE GRIP

The Ergonomic Collective Grip has a unique shape that provides the optimum hand position for long-range comfort, reducing fatigue during flight.  The patent-pending design incorporates additional switches to eliminate hand repositioning or dual seat inputs.

The new Ergonomic Collective Grip enables pilots to fly the aircraft while maintaining control of all electronic switch functions.

Essex developed the Ergonomic Collective Grip for the UH-60 Black Hawk with eight different switches, including a Cursor Slew Switch and HUD Switch, which are not typically available on a collective grip.

The Ergonomic Collective Grip can be modified to fit any rotary platform and is particularly suited to those applications that require a wide range of functionality.  Switches can be changed, as needed, to include uses such as weapon or sensor control.

We are proud to provide some of the most complex man-machine interface controls for the advanced military air and ground vehicles.

500 GALLON LOX TRAILER

The 500 Gallon LOX Trailer is a mobile liquid oxygen storage tank assembly.  Designed for the transport and storage of LOX at airbases and military installations, the 500 Gallon LOX Trailer provides a logistics solution for flight line LOX requirements.

The 500 Gallon LOX Trailer can be used with all Essex LOX Converters, BMOS, BMOS-FS, MMOS, NPTLOX, PTLOX and 50 Gallon LOX Carts.

The control wheel contains a force transducer as well as several single and multi-function switches for display cursor control, communications, pitch trim, auto-pilot disconnect, countermeasures, HUD declutter and auxiliary functions.  Our unique design allows removal and replacement of the control wheel in just minutes.

Essex manufactures some of the most complex human-machine interface controls for the most advanced ground, and air combat vehicles in the world.

LOX FILL, BUILDUP AND VENT VALVE

The LOX Fill, Buildup and Vent Valve is a semi-automatic valve that provides a safe means to control flow during filling operation of liquid oxygen converters. A specially-designed valve connection mates with standard LOX ground handling devices. When coupled to this device, the internal valve mechanisms simultaneously allow for the venting of oxygen gas within the converter and the transfer of liquid oxygen into the converter. When disconnected, these mechanisms automatically close, allowing the pressure build-up process to begin. The Essex LOX Fill, Buildup and Vent Valve is a CRU-50/A connection and is QPL approved to MIL-V-25961.

HYDRAULIC CHECK VALVE

Hydraulic Check Valves range in size from 1/4″ to 2″ and are available with a variety of standard or custom end fittings.

50 GALLON LOX CART

The 50 Gallon LOX cart is a mobile liquid oxygen storage tank assembly with a maximum operating pressure of 65 psig.  A retractable front wheel allows for towing and increased mobility in the field.  The cart also features a manual parking brake, lift/tie down rings and an insulated transfer hose, which will work with any portable LOX device having a standard CRU-50 fill connection, including all Essex LOX Converters, BMOS, BMOS-FS, MMOS, NPTLOX and PTLOX.  The 50 Gallon LOX Cart meets and/or exceeds functional and environmental requirements of MIL-PRF-38170.  It is tested to MIL-STD-810 and conforms to mobility requirements of SAE-A58090 (MIL-M-8090, Type II, Group A equipment).

The 50 Gallon LOX Cart can be used with all Essex LOX Converters, BMOS, BMOS Filling Station, MMOS, NPTLOX and PTLOX.
