High Temperature Resistant Linear Position Sensors Perform in Military and Defense Applications with High Accuracy
Summary
By combining the High Temperature Resistant linear position sensor with hydraulics and a suitable gyro system to measure roll and yaw, tank canons can “shoot on the run” versus “stop and then shoot”, reducing critical reaction time.In addition to these defense applications, HSTAR LVDT position sensors can be used to monitor moving surfaces such as the skew of flaps of a Boeing 777, the exhaust nozzle of an F-14 as well as the hydraulic reservoir of an F-22.Common applications of AST sensor products are in industrial OEM, hydraulic systems, fuel cells, medical gases, HVAC/R, refrigeration, oil & gas exploration/production, and off-road vehicles.By combining the High Temperature Resistant linear position sensor with hydraulics and a suitable gyro system to measure roll and yaw, tank canons can “shoot on the run” versus “stop and then shoot”, reducing critical reaction time.Synchronized firing provides troops a tremendous edge.In addition to these defense applications, HSTAR LVDT position sensors can be used to monitor moving surfaces such as the skew of flaps of a Boeing 777, the exhaust nozzle of an F-14 as well as the hydraulic reservoir of an F-22.
