Sensors for Aerospace Testing and Monitoring Health and Performance Monitoring

PCB

®

is an established, world leading manufacturer ofaccelerometers, which survive the harsh requirements surrounding condition monitoring of industrial machinery. This experience, coupled with leading edge sensor technology, offers a unique foundation for addressing the critical, varied, and demanding needs of engine and gearbox monitoring on helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. Additionally, proprietary in house piezo-ceramic production yields crystals that address the need for extreme high temperature operation while repackaging efforts have permitted unique accelerometer designs to fulfill space-restricted installation requirements.
