Flexible thermal straps in aluminum, copper, Pyrovo and pyrolytic graphite film — all have space flight heritage. Pyrovo straps are 10 times better than aluminum or copper on mass basis. Thermotive also provides engineering guidance, support, thermal and mechanical design services.

Technology Applications, Inc. (TAI)

Thermal Straps

TAI offers over 150 standard model (and fully custom) thermal straps made from OFHC copper and graphite. Our Copper Thermal Strap (CuTS®) product line is the largest standard line in our industry, and each year we publish our popular CuTS® Catalog. CuTS® are offered in 120 standard models (dozens of which are designed for popular cryocoolers), with customization options such as gold and nickel plating, aluminum end fittings, mylar sleeves. Tens of thousands of TAI CuTS® products are used annually by national laboratories, universities, aerospace organizations and laboratory equipment manufacturers across the globe. TAI always offers free front-end design services to all customers, and because it designs, manufactures and tests each of its straps (never outsourcing its products), TAI can offer the industry’s lowest prices and best warranty. www.techapps.com
