A new-generation temperature sensor for next-generation power generators on aircraft.
A new generation of power generators for aircraft requires a new type of temperature sensor. The high speed of the alternator or generator is key to providing electrical power on an aircraft. Sensors are required on bearings and brakes to prevent the risk of overheating and maximise machine performance.
Thermocoax is a trusted manufacturer of temperature measurement solutions for the aerospace industry. Our single cable manufacturing process makes Thermocoax unique in the market. Our temperature sensors detect a rise of temperature and thus prevent the danger of insufficient lubrication of the generator’s bearings.
Applications for Electrical Power Generation Systems and Carbon Brakes
Our clients include manufacturers of military and commercial aircraft, including Airbus and Boeing.
Innovative Screw Design for Temperature Sensor
Thermocoax has designed a temperature sensor in the form of a screw that can be integrated in the power generation system. This ensures the best possible readings and the closest fit with all systems. Equipped with our trademark mineral insulated cable for signal transmission, our temperature measurement solution provides the flexibility and robustness required by our clients.
Highly qualified welding operators mount and seal the temperature sensors to the highest industry standard.
Thermocoax Temperature Sensor’s Performances
Our temperature sensors have already performed successfully on aircraft such as the B787, A380 and A400M. Furthermore, Thermocoax sensor designs are also compliant with military standards imposed by the US military on manufacturers within Europe, Brazil, the USA/UK, South Korea and India.
