CNC Machined Landing Gear Components for Aerospace Teams
Landing gear teams in Minneapolis need parts that are strong, precise, and traceable. We machine 4340 steel, 300M, and titanium 6Al-4V landing gear components with tight bore tolerances. CMM inspection and AS9100D-aligned documentation on every order.
High-Strength Alloys
4340 steel, 300M, and titanium 6Al-4V with mill certs and traceability.
Bore Precision
±0.0005" on critical pin bores and sealing surfaces. CMM verified.
AS9100D Docs
Inspection reports and traceability for landing gear program records.
Precision Aerospace on the Northern Tier
The Twin Cities aerospace corridor is anchored by Collins Aerospace's avionics and actuation systems division, Honeywell's guidance and navigation operations, and Moog's precision motion control manufacturing. The University of Minnesota's aerospace engineering program feeds a strong pipeline of suppliers machining flight-critical actuator housings, sensor enclosures, and structural fittings.
RivCut serves Twin Cities aerospace teams with AS9100D-aligned machining, instant quoting, and complete documentation — so your Collins or Honeywell cert packages are clean the first time.

Safety critical6 Fittings. 10 Days. Zero Concessions.
A Twin Cities landing gear team needed trunnion fittings from 300M steel with tight bore concentricity, cadmium plating prep, and full dimensional verification. Teams near companies like Collins Aerospace trust this kind of precision and documentation rigor.
Every part shipped with complete documentation:
- CMM dimensional report — bore concentricity and true position verified
- Material cert with heat lot and AMS 6417 compliance
- First Article Inspection per AS9102
- Pre-plate surface preparation verification
What Minneapolis Aerospace Buyers Should Know
Confirm your supplier's experience with tight-tolerance actuator components
Collins Aerospace and Moog programs often hold +/-0.0002-inch on critical features.
Ask for process capability studies (Cpk) on critical dimensions
Twin Cities primes use statistical acceptance on high-volume actuation parts.
Verify cryogenic and vibration testing support if your parts feed Honeywell guidance systems
environmental qualification starts with machined hardware.
When Your Local Shop Can't Keep Up
When a prime surges volume, local shops push you back in the queue. We give you fixed lead times, instant quoting, and aerospace-grade documentation — every time. Minneapolis's aerospace sector demands it.
