Esterline Advanced SensorsCreating the differenceExtraordinary Performing Pressure Sensors TechnologiesLowest driftHighest AccuracyUnrivalled!Power of PedigreePressure Sensor Performance Technologies are yet another key product groupwithin Esterline Advanced Sensors’ expanding portfolio which already boasts worldleading Speed and Temperature Sensor solutions, with over one hundred years ofaccumulated design and manufacturing experience.During this time, we have amassed over fifty years of Pressure Sensor specificexpertise, including the development of our unique Vibrating Cylinder technologywhich, with no reported history of drift issues, is arguably the world’s most accurateand stable pressure sensor.Add to this our leading edge Silicon On Insulator (SOI) technology, now a keycomponent within many Aerospace, Marine, Automotive and Semiconductorproduction and development programs and you have access to a wealth of welltested experience, which is proving invaluable to those who crave engineeringexcellence.Trust the ExpertsWhen you do business with Esterline Advanced Sensors, you are not merelyaccessing guaranteed quality and performance, you are tapping into an unrivalledresource of more than one hundred Sensor Experts who are passionate abouttechnological and engineering advancement. And, more importantly, aboutworking with you to find inspirational solutions to your engineering challenges!ReliabilityReliability is an often over-used and an unsubstantiated word to drive up productpreconceptions. However, at Esterline Advanced Sensors, it’s our endorsement. Ourfinal word, in a process of Margin & Life Testing which subjects all our sensors tounprecedented extremes, in order that we can understand what it takes to break ourproducts, so that you can’t!And, Esterline Advanced Sensors are increasingly being asked to respond to OEMService Bulletins, to find alternative solutions to failed competitor components, furtherunderpinning our expertise in the field of Pressure.

SOI – enormous stability in the face of hostilityNot content with owning the world’s most accurate Vibrating Cylinder PressureSensor, Esterline Advanced Sensors have developed the most versatile range ofSOI (Silicon On Insulator) sensor products, specifically with small spaces, extremeenvironments and cost in mind.Our sensors are manufactured within our own Clean Room facility, a unit fullydedicated to silicon microsystems design and production, incorporating ourpatented SOI chip designs in standard sizes of 3mm x 3mm or 4mm x 4mm(150mbar to 600bar).These ingenious single crystal silicon Piezoresistor sensingelements are protected from the environment using our unique packaging designs, toform sensors of enormous stability and accuracy.SOI sensors have a substantial pedigree within Aerospace, with ever expandingapplications within the global Power Generation, Marine, Semiconductor andPrecision Equipment markets, where they are currently used for equally wide rangingpurposes, including the measurement of mass flow, air temperature, air pressure andfluid pressure.Defining characteristics of our SOI Sensor technology includeSOI improves piezoresistive sensor stabilityOperating Temperature range from -55 0 C to 200 0 CPressure range from 0.15 bar to 600 barPatented designs for low pressure measurement, overpressure protectionand high stablityAccuracy from +/- 0.2%FS to +/-1%FS (depending on compensation means)over the measurement rangeTrue differential pressure measurementCustomisable interfaces with a wide range of outputs availableCompact packagingPossibility to combine measurements e.g. (redundancy, different pressures,temperature )SOI technology is enabling us to make our Pressure Sensors smaller, less expensiveand more robust, without sacrificing stability or performance and this missioncontinues. Shortly, we will be introducing a new micro-range, based on a 2mm x2mm chip format, with all the stability we are already famous for. Plus, an increase intemperature capability. Watch this space!Highest stability Pressure SensorOur family of Vibrating Cylinder sensors are widely recognised as the most stable inthe market, a performance characteristic which is inherent in our technology, whichhas existed from its inception and continues today, achieving

We’ve resourced accordingly.The finest Engineering intellect. Extraordinary resources. Encouragedpassion. When you have all of these, there isn’t a test or a sensor challenge theworld can throw at us, we can’t deliver upon.The relationships between our Research and Development Unit, our many TestLaboratories, our Design and Simulation teams, go beyond connected. These aretruly integrated resources which enable our Engineers to test as much as they feelis appropriate. To question their test findings. To simulate product characteristics andgo on questioning, testing, analysing, refining and improving until they are completelysatisfied.And, because great ideas and product improvements are borne “of the moment”,we’ve made sure we can respond immediately to bring them to life, so that you canrely upon them - absolutely!
