1 million LVDTs and counting
Sensata product brand Kavlico LVDTs are the standard for flight and fuel control position measurements, able to withstand temperatures up to 260 degrees Celsius today, and developing product capability up to 535 degrees Celsius for the future. They operate using a non-contacting mutual induction principle, providing friction-free motion and nearly infinite resolution. Used for applications in flight control actuation, engine valve control, landing gear actuation, cockpit controls, and environment control systems, there are over 1 million Sensata brand LVDTs installed in aircrafts worldwide.
Leading innovation since 1941
Sensata is in the business of aircraft circuit breakers and has been since it designed and manufactured its first circuit breakers for military aircraft in 1941. Now, with over 1 million circuit breakers sold each year, Sensata is committed to the constant process and design improvements necessary – like the use of 3D printing – to stay on the leading edge of circuit breaker innovation.
The pressure is on
With pressure sensors contributing to over half of its business, Sensata sells more pressure sensors than any other company worldwide. Years of development experience mean that Sensata engineers can develop application-specific products in-house, therefore reducing costs to the customer and ensuring strict adherence to quality and qualification standards. Sensata is pushing the limits for next generation aerospace pressure sensors which will incorporate wireless connectivity, complex electronics and edge computing, as well as higher temperature capability for engine sensing applications.
