Endevco to Display State-of-the-Art Sensor Technology at Aerospace Testing Expo 2007 Europe in Munich


Endevco Corporation, the leader in sensing solutions for demanding vibration, shock and pressure applications, will showcase a wide range of its most popular products in booth #1242 at Aerospace Testing Expo Europe to be held Mar. 27-29, 2007 at the Munich Trade Fair Centre.

For 60 years, Endevco has been delivering the most trusted sensing solutions and program support for the world's most advanced aerospace programs including the Joint Strike Fighter, EuroFighter, Blackhawk and V22. The company recently received a Total Quality Supplier award from the United Launch Alliance joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

Featured at the Endevco exhibit will be the recently announced model 71 series of subminiature SMT piezoresistive accelerometers with a rugged, undamped design for shock measurements from 6,000 to 60,000g and sensitivities from 3 to 30 uV/g. The low mass, extremely small size and unique construction of the sensing element blends an exceptionally high resonant frequency with characteristics such as low output impedance, high over-range and zero damping for no phase shift in applications such as munitions fusing, kinetic impact testing and high shock component testing.

From single-engine aircraft to the space shuttle to the latest in fighter aircraft, Endevco has set the industry standard and achieved an impressive list of "firsts" in flight testing and inertial measurement for the most advanced aerospace vehicles as well as for vehicle dynamics studies. Designed and specified for the extremes of flight test environments, these dynamic instruments include a complete line of accelerometers, microphones, airborne amplifiers and pressure transducers.

Applications include wind tunnel testing, satellite communications systems, ground terminals, launch technology, turbine helicopters, remote sensing vehicles, spacecraft simulation systems, pyrotechnic rocket stage separation, weapons testing and underwater explosions, and missile penetration studies.

ENDEVCO Corporation, a Meggitt group company, is one of the world's leading designers and manufacturers of dynamic instrumentation for vibration, shock and pressure measurement. The company's comprehensive line of piezoelectric, piezoresistive, ISOTRON® and variable capacitance accelerometers are used to solve measurement problems in a wide variety of industries including aerospace, automotive, defense, medical, industrial and marine. Available products include pressure transducers, microphones, electronic instruments, and calibration systems. Founded in 1947 with headquarters in San Juan Capistrano, CA, ENDEVCO has a global network of manufacturing and research facilities, sales offices and field engineers in the U.S., Europe and Asia. www.endevco.com
