Stabilus SE presented its expertise in motion control ? particularly actuators ? and damping technology for security-related applications at the Enforce Tac 2026 trade fair in Nuremberg.
The trade fair is considered the central European platform for internal and external security and brings together international manufacturers, system integrators, and government representatives. Stabilus?s trade fair presentation focused on solutions for vibration decoupling, recoil damping, and precise motion control, which are used in numerous safety-critical and military applications. These include armoured vehicles, military commercial vehicles, portable and platform-based ballistic systems, unmanned systems, sensor and optical platforms, as well as ergonomic seating and access solutions.
With its high level of technological expertise, international positioning, and proven experience in meeting demanding aviation standards, Stabilus is continuously expanding its position in this market segment, which is characterized by long-term investment programs and high-quality requirements. The company is seeing a significant increase in demand, particularly in the area of damping solutions and actuators for safety-related applications, and has won orders from renowned international manufacturers in this area in recent months. Stabilus anticipates potential orders and call-offs with a total volume of around ?200 million over the next five years, encompassing both military and dual-use applications.
This projection includes remote handling solutions provided by Destaco subsidiary CRL, in addition to damping and actuator technologies. Stabilus conservatively projects that revenue related solely to military applications will increase at least threefold by 2030, rising from the current mid-single-digit million range. In the past few weeks alone, the company has secured additional orders in the mid-single-digit million range, scheduled for phased delivery through the end of 2027.
Specific applications include opening systems for cockpit canopies and hatches, vibration isolation for sensitive electronics as well as various types of damping systems to reduce vibrations, recoil and impacts, as used in portable and mounted systems or in laser-guided targeting.
