Applications
Hydraulics

Hydraulic systems are the life blood to the airframe, providing primary flight controls, whilst also ensuring safe landing, braking, and thrust reverse.

Hydraulic pressure sensors include high pressure quad, general hydraulic applications, and high-pressure differential products.

ECS

The Environmental Control System (ECS) provides air supply, thermal control and cabin pressurization for the crew and passengers. Maintaining a safe and comfortable cabin environment is a key function of our sensors.

ECS pressure sensors include emergency oxygen and air management products.

Fuel

Fuel consumption and fuel level is monitored by our pressure sensors, whilst also providing monitoring of the fuel inerting system.

Fuel pressure sensors include fuel metering and OBIGGS monitoring products.

APU

The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) provides essential functionality to the airframe, both when grounded and in-flight when called upon. Our sensors ensure routine ground safety checks can be completed, whilst also providing measurement data for safe and efficient operation.

APU pressure sensors include low pressure differential and combined absolute and differential products.

Engine

Our sensors enable the power plants to function safely and efficiently, measuring key parameters, oil, and fuel. They are also used for health monitoring and for critical engine control.

Engine pressure sensors include fuel differential, engine monitoring, and oil pressure differential products.

ADC/ADM

The Air Data Computer (ADC/ADM) determines the calibrated airspeed, Mach number and altitude. Our sensors are an essential component in providing this data directly to the pilot.

ADC/ADM pressure sensors include TERPS (with electronics) and TERPS (in body tube) products.

Test

We provide test sensors to meet the needs of all OEMs. We provide solutions that are suitable for both ground and flight test, offering both catalogue and bespoke designs.

Test pressure sensors include 3700 series, D300 test, D300 miniature, ADROIT6000, and UNIK5000 products.
