Brackets, Housings & Secondary Structures

Brackets, housings and secondary structures are often required to mount components to a primary structure. Because these parts must perform in demanding environments, their design can be deceptively complex. SOLIENG engineers bring extensive experience developing structural solutions that meet mass, stiffness, interface and environmental requirements.

Design for Alignment Considerations

Alignment can be critical for products such as dish-pointing devices, spacecraft antennas and precision equipment. Supporting alignment-sensitive components requires careful control of interfaces, stiffness and adjustment. Our team designs equipment that preserves accuracy while providing the flexibility needed for proper integration and final alignment.

Handling Equipment

Handling and transportation equipment is essential for both subsystems and fully integrated systems. Our designs provide the flexibility required during integration while maintaining the strength and safety needed to withstand operational loads. We incorporate input from operations, repair, maintenance, integration and testing teams to deliver practical and dependable handling solutions.

Test Fixtures

Test fixture design is especially challenging for dynamic testing. Poor fixture behavior can lead to exceeding equipment capability, distort test results and create unsafe conditions. Our methodology considers the component, mounting features, test equipment, integration requirements and dynamic response as one complete system—delivering a safe fixture that meets the full test objective.
