01 / What We Fabricate
Small Aerospace Parts With Critical Fit Requirements
Aerospace mounting straps look simple, but they often locate harnesses, tubes, avionics trays, lightweight equipment and serviceable brackets. Fit depends on formed shape, hole relationships, edge condition, material lot and repeatable finishing.
Aerospace Links
Flat and formed links with controlled hole patterns, edge finish and lot traceability.
Lightweight Brackets
Small aluminum, stainless or titanium brackets for avionics, equipment and support interfaces.
Traceable Kits
Parts packed by drawing revision, material lot and assembly sequence for OEM receiving control.
Our scope: build-to-print mounting straps and sheet metal bracket parts
The aerospace OEM or tier supplier owns design approval, airworthiness, system qualification and final compliance. DRAmetal manufactures the released strap and bracket parts to the approved drawings, material requirements and inspection plan.
02 / Aerospace Strap Types
Mounting Straps, Links and Lightweight Brackets
Aerospace mounting straps, links and brackets require controlled hole patterns, edge condition, material traceability and repeatable forming beyond a general-purpose bracket.
Avionics Avionics Mounting Straps
Lightweight formed straps and retainer parts for avionics trays, covers, harness supports and equipment modules.
- Materials 5052 / 6061 / 7075
- Control Hole and bend datums
- Records Lot traceable
Links Aerospace Links and Brackets
Small links, clips, brackets and strap-like parts with controlled edge finish and hole-to-hole relationships.
- Features Slots, holes, radii
- Inspection FAI and CTQ checks
- Finish Anodize / passivate
Formed Lightweight Formed Straps
Curved, offset and formed strap parts where springback, edge quality and part marking must stay controlled.
- Process Laser cut, form, deburr
- Risk Springback control
- Use Tube or harness retention
Kits Lot-Controlled Strap Kits
Finished straps, links and brackets grouped by drawing, lot and revision for prototype, pilot or batch production.
- Packout Drawing and lot
- Scale Prototype to batch
- Docs MTR / FAI support

04 / Manufacturing Process
From Drawing Review to Lot-Controlled Packout
01
Drawing and Material Review
Confirm material, temper, grain direction, finish, edge notes, part marking and traceability needs.
02
Feature Risk Review
Identify critical holes, bend radii, offset forms, springback risk and burr-sensitive edges.
03
Cutting and Deburring
Cut strap blanks and control burrs, tabs, edge breaks and small-feature quality.
04
Forming and Inspection
Form offsets, curves and straps, then inspect from the datums that control installation.
05
Finish and Marking
Apply anodize, passivation or coating and verify marking or lot ID requirements.
06
Traceable Packout
Separate parts by drawing revision, material lot, batch and installation kit.
05 / Why It Matters
Why Aerospace Mounting Straps Need Dedicated Controls
Small mounting straps can create field fit issues if holes drift, edges cut harnesses, bends spring back or material lots are mixed.
Hole Relationships
Hole-to-hole and bend-to-hole positions control fit more than outside profile alone.
Edge Condition
Deburring and edge rounding matter when straps contact harnesses, tubes or serviceable assemblies.
Material Traceability
Lot separation and material records are required for many aerospace and high-reliability programs.
Springback
Small formed straps can change shape after forming unless tooling and inspection are controlled.

Why OEMs Use DRAmetal for Aerospace Mounting Straps
01
Small-part process discipline
We treat small strap parts as functional components, not commodity laser-cut blanks.
02
Traceability support
Material, lot, revision and inspection records can be aligned with customer requirements.
03
Precision forming
Offsets, radii, bends and hole patterns are reviewed for repeatability before batch production.
04
Kitted delivery
Straps, links and brackets can be packed by drawing, lot and assembly sequence.

09 / FAQ
Aerospace Mounting Straps FAQ
What aerospace strap parts can you fabricate?
We fabricate formed mounting straps, retainer straps, links, clips, lightweight brackets and small sheet metal supports to released drawings.
Can you provide material traceability?
Yes. Material lot records, MTR support, revision separation and inspection records can be provided when required by the project.
Do you certify aerospace parts?
We manufacture build-to-print parts. The OEM or tier supplier owns design approval, qualification, airworthiness and final compliance.
Can you handle small pilot batches?
Yes. We can support prototype, pilot and repeat batch production, including FAI-style inspection points when specified.
