BEI Duncan Electronics Introduces Position Sensors Capabilities Brochure for Aerospace and Defense Applications

July 31, 2009

IRVINE, Calif. – BEI Duncan Electronics, a company of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), has announced the immediate availability of the Position Sensor Solutions for Aerospace and Defense Brochure. The new brochure highlights BEI Duncan’s original founding goal of producing military-grade, precision wire-wound potentiometers for position sensing in military and aerospace applications. The brochure also describes the company’s successful track record of reliable product performance of the initial product offering along with its technology expansion since.

BEI Duncan’s position sensors can be found in a wide range of environmental extremes where the ability to withstand high vibration and shock is required. These include commercial and military aircraft, missiles and guided projectiles, helicopters, autonomously guided vehicles (AGVs), military vehicles and spacecraft. These applications rely on precision position sensing for guidance control, flight control actuators, nose wheel steering systems, cockpit control systems, engine bleed systems, fly-by-wire systems, cabin controls, fuel control systems, valve control, rotor tilt, tail position, drive control systems, and more.

The brochure also describes BEI Duncan’s extremely versatile capabilities in providing sensing solutions to meet exact customer requirements. BEI Duncan accomplishes this by offering a complete range of product alterations – from simple adaptations of standard products, to more specific complex product modifications, to complete custom design. The company’ flexible volume capabilities, performance testimonials, and strong commitment to ITAR compliance assist in providing products that meet customers’ specific requirements.

Highlighted product technologies include rotary and linear conductive plastic, wirewound, hybrid, and magnetic Hall effect non-contacting position sensors. Key performance attributes of these products include high precision, redundant outputs for superior reliability, high operating temperature, and robust design to withstand shock and vibration in harsh environmental extremes. Other operating characteristics include millions of cycles, single and multi-turn, IP sealing, and accuracy of better than 0.05%. All provide the high durability needed for environmental survivability.
