Linear Position Sensors

Product Code:

At Curtiss-Wright Controls Integrated Sensing (CWCIS), we offer a wide range of linear position sensors and transducers including stroke length measurements from 0.2” (5 mm) to 196” (5,000 mm).

We use technologies that are packaged in rugged housings, with mountings that give the user a wide range of flexible installation options. Our technologies include:

  • Potentiometric - Conductive Plastic, Hybrid or precision Wirewound
  • Inductive - LVDT, LVIT or single coil
  • Hall effect - Programmable sensors for Industrial applications

LVDTs and LVITs for AEROSPACE APPLICATIONS

Our acknowledged leadership in LVDT applications provides you with a fast-track engineering solution. We are able to deliver cost competitive components, of proven quality and unmatched performance.

The inherent design of the Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) is rugged.  We have continuously developed this technology by selecting advanced materials, employing non-contact designs and highly skilled manufacturing methods to improve the envelope of performance to size and cost.

Key Features and Applications

  • Aerospace qualification to RTCA D0160
  • High reliability from non-contacting technology
  • Stroke lengths from 0.01" (0.25mm) to 20" (500mm)
  • Primary Flight Control applications with Apache AH64, Eurofighter Typhoon, Airbus A320/330/340/380, NH90, V22, B2 and Ariane 5
  • Engine Fuel Control applications include V2500, R-R Trent 500/600/700/800/1000, EJ200, PW305, Tay 2000, Allison AE2100/1107/3007
  • Thrust Reverser Actuation Systems [TRAS] include Airbus A320/340, CRJ-700
