Aerospace sensors

The modern aerospace industry, as well as the automotive sector, require highly-complex products with an extremely high proportion of electronic components and maximum safety requirements. This requires correspondingly complex development and production processes as well as sophisticated interdisciplinary expertise. Piher´s contact-less technology is based on robust, state-of-the-art and proven hall-effect technology that can withstand extreme environments.

Our PST, MTS and PSC series can provide reliable feedback for a number of aerospace applications, such as:

• Valve position
• Landing gear position
• Pilot input controls
• Lever position
• Actuator position
• Door position
• Rudder position
• Aileron position
• Servo tab position
• Flap / slat position
• Elevator position
• Wheel position
• Throttle position
• Fuel valve position
• Pedal position
• Drive by wire systems
• UHF Radio controls
• Fighter lighting controls
• HUD aircraft control (brightness, intensity, manual reticle position, contrast).Electromechanical switches.
• Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) camera gimbal and cradle angle of attack angle and position miniature sensors.
