AMETEK active probes are designed for internal tank mounting using quick-release clamps. The design of the probes is highly flexible, allowing AMETEK to produce custom designs using standard parts and proven materials. Probes can also be furnished with integral flanges for external mounting. Crashworthy probes are available with load spreading caps or frangible design. A Fuel Quantity Probe system can be configured for any size tank with multiple probes of lengths defined specific to each tank and AMETEK can model the tank to enable the system to report total volume of fuel - taking into account arbitrary fuel tank shapes.

AMETEK Aerospace Angle-of-Attack (AOA) transducers and the Stall Warning Systems which incorporate them are precision sensing devices that combine design simplicity, versatility, and component commonality. The result is reliable angle-of-attack and stall warning information for the pilot. Developed originally to meet stringent military requirements, AMETEK AOA transducers, or vanes, met the challenge and went on to establish a reputation for in-service reliability. The safety factor is a consideration every pilot expects and one every aircraft should provide. At AMETEK, the safety factor is paramount; safety is engineered into every product. Emphasis on safety in design and performance has been the keystone to our success. Features include high reliability, singledual output devices such as synchro, resolver, and potentiometer, temperature compensated damping, and a reliable self-regulating, deicinganti-icing vane heater design. Angle of Attack Datasheet AMETEKs engineering has been on the leading edge of aerospace technology for decades. Program by program, AMETEKs reputation for innovative product design and development has been built on an extensive line of reliable, high technology products. AOA and Stall Warning components offer ease of maintenance and conform to all applicable FAA, TSO, and military specifications.

AMETEK Aerospace & Defense has extensive experience supplying pressure transducers for aircraft hydraulic systems. AMETEK's Silicon-on-Insulator technology and patent-pending design yield high accuracy with unmatched reliability and stability in the most demanding environments. Available in absolute, gage or differential pressure configurations, the transducers are designed for high shock and high vibration environments. The transducers can be configured for low level electrical output (100 mV typical), voltage output (.5 to 5.5 VDC typical) or current output (4-20 mA). Other outputs for specific system compatibility are also available. The transducer has been tested to, and meets the most stringent EMC and HIRF requirements of MIL-STD-461F, DO-160E and D6-16050-5. Fully compatible with many media, these transducers can be adapted to have any pressure or electrical connection. Configurations including additional sensing capabilities and various levels of redundancy are also available.

AMETEK Aerospace linear LVDT are designed for accurate measurement of position in aircraft and missile systems. They are tested to meet the most stringent environmental requirements of MIL-STD-810 and MIL-E-5400. These single-voltage or dual-voltage output devices are designed for high accuracy and reliability. The LVDTs welded construction will withstand exposure to extreme environments and many types of fluids and gases. Internal temperature compensation can be included to minimize temperature effects, and accuracy can be specified to +0.15%. LVDT Position Transducer Datasheet Where system operation requires dual output signal, AMETEK can provide tandem designs that combine two LVDTs in a single transducer assembly. These special designs utilize single-shaft construction, and provides two outputs of equal amplitude with carefully matched null positions. A special coil design virtually eliminates output-to-output crosstalk. Phase-matching networks can be included within the LVDT assembly to precondition the output signal for direct connection to control and display circuitry. Features Wide range of operating frequencies to match aircraft and missile systems requirements.Full range motions for +0.01 inches to +6 inches.Performance and construction to meet extreme operation conditions.Single-voltage and dual-voltage outputs are available for redundant or dual-function systems.Case and fitting configurations can be custom designed to fit actuator and control surface requirements.

Introduced in the 1960s, AMETEKs potentiometric devices continue to be selected for their accuracy, value and reliability. With the introduction of a capacitive device, AMETEK is now able to offer a complementary technology for those applications where existing interfaces and continuous resolution are key factors. The AMETEK family of oil level sensor products is the unquestioned choice for todays challenging engine applications.

An industry leader, AMETEK's 3001 Series digital flight data recording (DFDR) accelerometers are selected for their accuracy and reliability. Designed to ARINC specifications 573 and 717, the accelerometers are DO-160 qualified, and have TSO C51a certification. Interchangeable with all existing DFDR acceleromerters the 3001 Series accelerometers are compatible with any digital flight data recording system.

The 8TJ167 includes a solid wall main housing to contain the fuel stream and support the mechanical metering assembly. Stationary components include the inlet flow conditioner, a spring-finger swirl-generator assembly, and two external coils. Primary moving components, shaft mounted on bearings, include a turbine, impeller and viscous shroud. Angular momentum is imparted to the fuel by a hetical groove passage bypassing value.

AMETEK Aerospace & Defense offers a highly reliable and cost effective method of sensing the temperature of aircraft fluids, including fuel, engine oil, and hydraulic fluid. The TJ107 family of Temperature Sensors is in service on numerous commercial and military aircraft around the globe. AMETEK utilizes proven sensing technologies including Resistance Temperature Devises (RTD) and Type-K Thermocouples for measuring fluid temperature depending on system interface or accuracy considerations. Total Temperature and Pressure Probes AMETEKs experience with the unique environmental requirements for aircraft fluid systems provides the customer with the assurance of a low risk solution. AMETEK offers a standard, all-stainless steel, hermetic package for value and schedule considerations but can tailor the design to your unique requirements also. Mechanical interface options include an industry standard, threaded fluid fitting or a flange mount for connector keying or error-proof installations. Variety Of Electricity Interfaces Electrical connections can be accomplished with either a receptacle connector or integral cable assembly with a remote termination. Time response requirements are weighed against the structural requirements for the design. Additionally, AMETEK can offer dual elements for redundancy. Multiple RTD Resistance vs. Temperature curves are available. Typical elements used include platinum, thin film for 100 and 1000 applications. Platinum wire wound elements can be packaged for 100 , 200 and 500 applications. In addition, nickel wire wound elements per MIL-T-7990 standards are offered.

AMETEK makes a variety of 'onoff' switches that sense the proximity surfaces and structures with the use of permanent magnest and hermetically sealed reed switches. Typical applications are for flap surfaces or doorcompartment closures.
