Hutchinson Aerospace Barry Engine Mounts

Authorized Factory Distributor & Stockist

Superior Vibration Control for General Aviation

Airpart Supply is an approved factory distributor and stockist for Hutchinson Aerospace, supplying their leading line of Barry Mounts. Hutchinson Aerospace, formerly known as Barry Controls, is among the world market leaders in aerospace engine vibration isolation and shock attenuation mounting systems. Hutchinson Aerospace engine mounts offer superior vibration control for most general aviation applications. These engine mounts are designed to prevent damaging vibrations from reaching critical components which are common in some aircraft. Hutchinson Aerospace engine mounts are FAA/PMA and OEM-approved on numerous Lycoming and Continental engine models. Whether you fly a Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft, Pilatus, or any other aircraft, we have the right Barry Mount solution for your needs.

Why Choose Barry Mounts?

Rich Heritage & Proven Track Record

• Founded in 1943, Barry Controls initially developed vibration isolators for the US Navy, establishing a foundation of military-grade reliability.
• Barry Controls' parent company, Hutchinson, was founded in 1853 and first made waterproof rubber boots. Today, Hutchinson is owned by the French oil company Total, bringing over 170 years of engineering excellence.
• In 2014, Barry changed their legal name to Hutchinson Aerospace & Industry, Inc., along with their 23+ sister companies.
• In 1910, Hutchinson produced coated fabrics for aircraft and airships that were used in the first aircraft crossing of the English Channel.
• Hutchinson's sister company, Paulstra, developed "Dynaflex" - the first aircraft piston engine isolation system in 1934.

Advanced Materials & Engineering Excellence

• Hutchinson's chemists develop and produce proprietary blends of elastomeric materials specifically for use in BarryMounts. These include highly-damped elastomers that excel in aircraft engine isolators.
• Expert in bonding metal to rubber - a critical capability that ensures long-lasting, reliable performance.
• Hutchinson uses a wide variety of elastomeric materials (and blends of these) to suit the varying needs of particular aircraft applications, including Natural Rubber for tear resistance, Chlorylbutyl for chemical resistance, Chlorylprene for durability, EPDM for weather resistance, Silicone for heat resistance, and Metal mesh and other specialized compounds.

Trusted OEM Supplier to Major Aircraft Manufacturers

Hutchinson Aerospace is the OEM supplier to many aircraft manufacturers, including Textron Aviation, Gulfstream, Pilatus, HondaJet, Eclipse, Viking Air, Air Tractor, Cessna, Maule, Piaggio, Daher-Socata TBM, Extra, Britten Norman, Casa, Dornier, Twin Commander, British Aerospace, Pacific Aerospace, Fairchild/Merlin, SAAB, ATR, Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, and many others.

Proven Performance & Industry Leadership

• More commercial aircraft have flown more flight hours on BarryMounts than any other isolator type - a testament to their reliability and performance.
• Recently, Hutchinson Aerospace received FAA/PMA on isolators for Cessna 172RG, 172Q, 172R, 172S, Cessna 182S & 182T, Cessna 206H, & T206H, as well as Pilatus PC-12, among others.

Superior Value & Cost-Effectiveness

• BarryMount piston isolators are a great value! They typically cost less than the competition's.
• A 2018 internet price comparison showed Barry's isolator for a Beech Bonanza cost $143.75 USD each vs. the competition's isolator at $188.48 USD each.
• This Barry isolator is actually a more robust isolator than the competition's, spreading the loads out over a wider surface area.
• Barry had this isolator FAA/PMA approved via testing & computation vs. identicality, so they could make it better than the competition's.

Simplified Inventory Management

• Hutchinson Aerospace has several piston engine part numbers that are FAA/PMA approved to replace 2, 3, or 4 different competitor part numbers.
• This makes it possible to stock a fewer number of BarryMount parts and still service a wider variety of aircraft, thus reducing inventory costs.

Superior Design & Reliability

• BarryMount piston isolators are designed and approved to be used without the use of silicone-filled "jelly bags" that surround the center spacers of some competitor's isolators.
• These "Jelly Bags" in use in certain competitor's isolators can leak and cause otherwise premature replacement of isolators.
• BarryMounts piston isolators will never leak!
• Some Hutchinson aircraft piston engine isolators use molded rubber bonded to their center spacers. This is there for torsional stiffness and aids in providing a "soft snub" instead of a "hard snub".

Innovative Technology for Business Jets & Turboprops

• Hutchinson has developed specialized fluid-filled, elastomeric isolators for Bizjets that have two auxiliary tuned mass absorbers (TMAs) to reduce N1 and N2 vibrations.
• Hutchinson holds a patent for this proprietary technology.
• These isolators can change their isolation characteristics during flight to maximize their performance - an industry-leading innovation.

Economical Rebuilt Exchange Program

• Hutchinson offers economical Rebuilt Exchange isolators for a wide variety of Turboprop, Bizjet, Regional, & Commercial aircraft.
• This helps lower aircraft operators' direct operating costs while maintaining the same high quality and performance standards.

Commitment to the Future of Aviation

From designing customized materials to integrating connected solutions, Hutchinson contributes to making the mobility of the future safer, more comfortable, & more sustainable.
