MTC a wide range of technologies under one roof, providing comprehensive solutions.

MTC Industries & Research Ltd. was established in 1977 in Karmiel Industrial Zone, in the heart of Israel’s Galilee. Over the years, the company developed into a leading supplier to Israel’s Defence Industries, specializing in design, development and manufacture of highly accurate, sophisticated and reliable systems, such as gyroscopes, miniature electric motors, resolvers, servo actuators, solenoid valves and slip-rings.

MTC is also a licensed Repair Station of the Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) and Israel Air Force (IAF) for refurbishment of aircraft engine components, sub-systems and landing gears. MTC is ISO 9001 certified, MIL-STD compliant and an Approved Supplier to the Israel Aircraft Industries, the Israel Air Force and Navy, the US Navy, RAFAEL, ELBIT SYSTEMS, EADS, BAE SYTEMS etc.

Main products

Gyroscopes and Sensors – MTC manufactures free gyros for short and medium range missiles, rate gyros for missiles and ground / airborne platforms, vertical gyros for unmanned aerial vehicles. MTC gyros are integrated into the most advanced missiles of Israel’s defence industries and into most of its UAV projects.

Electric Motors – MTC manufactures miniature torque and DC motors with and without brushes, AC and hysterezis motors, angular position measurement devices, such as resolvers, tachogenerators, microsyn and other RVDT - for navigation and control in missiles, warheads, launching systems, UAV’s, gliding bombs and servo systems.

Electro-Mechanical Systems – MTC manufactures servo systems, canard actuation system steering units, pneumatic or electric servo actuators, fuel system control manifolds, high-pressure vessels, solenoid valves and multitier slip-rings.

Aircraft repair station / Thermal spray coatings

For nearly 30 years, MTC refurbishes jet / combat aircraft engine components, sub-systems and landing gears for the IAI (Boeing) and the IAF (F4, F15, F16, helicopters), using the most advanced technologies and equipment in the field, including a multi-purpose HVOF, Plasma & Flame Spray Robot as well as Arc Spray. The repair of components is based on the aircraft manufacturer’s service bulletin or, as in many cases, on original MTC coating solutions. It includes the full gamut of complementary processes, such as machining and grinding of coatings, welding (including TIG and electron beam process), heat treatment, painting and full three-dimensional computerized final inspection.

The same technologies are applied by MTC to restore the dimensions of worn mechanical parts – avoiding the need to replace them with expensive original spares. MTC provides coatings endowing the surface of your part with new characteristics: improved resistance to wear, corrosion, abrasion or oxidation; one type of coating can act as a thermal barrier, another can provide electrical conductivity or, on the contrary, electrical insulation etc. Thickness of the coating ranges from 15 microns to several millimeters; it can be grinded to demand, to any kind of required roughness.

Some important advantages: this technology can apply the coating on a limited area of the part (e.g. the most subject to deterioration); it replaces chrome plating and, while the obtained coating will be resistant to higher temperatures, it does not damage the environment; multi-layer coatings, mixing different materials, are possible, creating surfaces with special physical properties.
