The piezoelectric pressure sensor type 6045A from Kistler Instrument is designed around a PiezoStar crystal element that has a sensitivity of -45 pC/bar.

The 6045A piezoelectric pressure sensor from Kistler Instrument is designed around a PiezoStar crystal element that has a sensitivity of -45 pC/bar. This higher-level signal reduces data-compromising effects and eases signal conditioning. The crystal element output remains linear at elevated temperatures by resisting thermal influences, thus eliminating the need for water cooling. With low thermal shock in high-impedance charge-mode operation, the unit meets the demands of test track tuning. Both thermodynamic investigations and knock measurements can be made with an M8 X 0.75 access hole. The sensor mounting incorporates a shoulder seal design for efficient heat control. The device is compatible with common laboratory charge amplifiers. It can establish basic engine performance as well as help optimize engine efficiency parameters.

Sandvik Coromant's Aerospace Engine Solutions package contains five standard products for the aerospace engine industry.

Sandvik Coromant's Aerospace Engine Solutions package contains five standard products for the aerospace engine industry. GC1115 is a PVD coated grade for high-temperature alloys that offers improved toughness and high wear resistance. CoroCut angled inserts provide a complete and stable grooving system that uses 24 standard articles in grade GC1115 to provide access to complex features in d­isc, shaft, and casing manufacturing. SL70 is a modular serration lock and oval blade coupling that combines with Capto to provide good accessibility and stability. The carbide solutions come with high-pressure coolant nozzles and are available for CoroCut, ceramic RCGX, and carbide RCMT. CoroMill Plura conical ball nose end mills include 12 standard articles with radii and taper options that are suited for the five-axis machining of titanium blisk and impeller turbo parts. Lastly, the CoroMill 316 is a solid carbide with exchangeable head coupling that has diameter and radii options required for typical features such as scallop milling on discs, casings, and shafts.

Ductorseal hermetic feedthroughs from Douglas Electrical Components are sealed wire and cable assemblies that solve through-bulkhead conductor sealing problems in small-engine fuel-delivery modules.

Ductorseal hermetic feedthroughs from Douglas Electrical Components are sealed wire and cable assemblies that solve through-bulkhead conductor sealing problems in small-engine fuel-delivery modules. The units provide an interconnecting harness in a fully sealed, prewired, pretested, and ready-to-install hermetic unit. They feature a precision-machined, chemical-resistant epoxy housing with no mold parting line which could compromise O-rings and cause potential leak paths. They come in a range of standard housing sizes and configurations as well as with various numbers and types of conductors. The devices are epoxy-sealed to provide leak-free performance.
