TT electronics has developed a steering sensor based on its Magnetorque technology, designed to track the relative positions of two steering shaft segments that are connected by a torsion bar.
"The 400 Series sealed linear actuated sensor meets and exceeds the stringent Aerospace DO-160E environmental specifications", says Alain Leon, Variable Products Applications Engineer for BI Technologies.
"Passing the multi-icing cycles test proved to be the greatest challenge for conventional linear actuated sensor sealing techniques".
"BI Technologies developed a unique sealing feature which enabled the part to pass this rigorous test".
"While currently designed into this specific jet programme, there are a number of design options available, allowing the sensor to be utilised in applications ranging from consumer to industrial to military/aerospace".
The 400 Series sensor is offered with and without end bearings to suit the different grades of various applications.
Redundant output is available, and stroke size ranges from 0.5 to 6.0in.
The sensor also comes standard with leads, but BI Technologies will incorporate customer-defined harnesses on request.
