Special solutions on land, on water and in the air

Defense Technology

Security and defence technology places special demands on the components used. Special requirements in terms of operating conditions – whether at +40°C in the desert or -40°C in mountainous regions, in the thickest mud or the finest dust, at high altitudes or in salty air – must be taken into account when developing the components in order to ensure trouble-free and low-maintenance operation. Thanks to our decades of experience in railway technology, shipping and applications in the field of heavy vehicles and machines, such as mining trucks, excavators, wheel loaders and transporters, we are also able to develop suitable solutions for the special requirements of military technology. Not least thanks to our specially developed insulation and moisture protection system, the components are reliably protected against a wide range of environmental influences over the long term.

From EMC filters for reconnaissance and radar systems at sea, on land and in the air, braking resistors for military off-road vehicles or robots for explosive ordnance disposal, through to current transformers and EMC filters for use in tanks – REO develops and manufactures the optimum solution at its German production sites to meet the specific requirements of our partners.
We support the development and design of the desired components and carry out measurements, tests and simulations – also on site at our client’s premises.
Tests such as shock and vibration tests, salt spray tests, cold and heat tests, G-force tests or tests for water resistance or fire protection serve to ensure the resilience of the components.

Highlight of defense technology:

High protection classes for the highest demands

REO products are used worldwide under extraordinary conditions – be it in extreme temperatures, dirty environments, on the high seas, or at altitudes of 3,000 meters. External influences such as water, salt, dust, gases, and corrosive media, as well as mechanical effects like vibrations or oscillations, must not impair the functionality of the products. The REO components from the Heavy Duty range are specially designed for such environmental influences. Their special construction ensures maximum protection against mechanical, chemical, or biological effects and guarantees high functional reliability and a long service life. Thanks to our many years of experience, REO products are known for their reliability even under the harshest conditions for many years. To ensure the safety of people and components, REO employs high protection classes. We offer a protection class rating of up to IP69K for a wide range of our product portfolio. Our components must prove their resilience under extreme test conditions. These include shock and vibration tests, salt spray tests, cold and heat tests, as well as tests for water resistance and fire protection.

INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS

REO: A reliable partner

As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of inductive components, REO specialized early on in the challenge of EMC problems in frequency converter-controlled drive systems. In cooperation with manufacturers of drive systems and mechanical engineering companies, we have innovatively advanced this development over the last four decades. Our EMC solutions are specially tailored to these drive systems. Thanks to our comprehensive vertical integration and expertise in filtering such systems, which is bundled in our own development center, we can offer our customers the best possible EMC solutions. In addition to EMC tests and tests under extreme environmental conditions, we also carry out shock and vibration tests in our own laboratory.

For particularly demanding projects, we at REO develop customized solutions in close cooperation with our customers. Our many years of experience and constant innovation, inspired by the diverse requirements of industries such as rail technology and wind energy, enable us to create the ideal tension for our customers’ products.
