Most of the space series and satellites that rotate around the Earth make use of high tech devices . The latest to join the list is Hoffmann + Krippner’s innovative position sensors, having been chosen for space-flights by MOOG Inc., a foremost designer and producer of precision motion control systems.
SENSOFOIL membrane potentiometers
The ultra-flat sensors named as SENSOFOIL membrane potentiometers are made up of very slender and malleable film material, operating mutely with high technical capacities. They can be very easily surrogated for regular mechanical potentiometers as their key assets are its diminutive size and weight. MOOG has signed a multi-year indenture to facilitate usage of these sensors in their products and in space-flight applications.
Hoffmann + Krippner based in Germany and global offices provide one-stop solutions for sectors like electronics, software etc., manufacturing simple membrane keypads to multifaceted control units.
