Helping you reduce downtime and increase your aircraft availability To enable you to achieve the reliability and accuracy you need for your engine, aircraft, helicopter, UAS and space application, we’ve designed our accelerometers to optimise the engineering of sensing and transmissions elements. They are based on the piezoelectric principle: compression or shear force applied to a piezoelectric material by a seismic mass creates electrical charges proportional to the applied vibration acceleration, without any moving part. Built on over 60 years of experience, these highly accurate piezoelectric accelerometers are a dependable choice for a wide range of aerospace programmes, from cryogenic to high pressure turbine applications. The vast majority of current transport aircraft rely on our accelerometers to monitor the condition and health of their engines. At Meggitt Switzerland, we can provide you with proven solutions for complete vibration measurement chains in virtually any aerospace environment. Such is our experience that for some extreme applications on the turbine section of particular engines, we lead the market worldwide in producing sensors that are accurate and reliable enough to meet manufacturers’ requirements.
