- With or without swaging
Mechanical equipment:
Thanks to our state-of-the-art machinery, Thermo Est is able to manufacture all the mechanical components required for reinforcing bars, fittings, nozzles, drilled-in glove fingers, etc.
For your ground tests...
The continuous improvement of propulsion performance and the reduction of its environmental impact have been essential factors in the development of air transport. Continuing this success is at the heart of Thermo Est's technological efforts.
Instrumented combs are intrusive measuring devices designed to acquire pressure and temperature parameters on an aircraft engine. Positioned on the engine during the test phases of development, they are used to characterize the performance of the various stages.
Thermo Est manufactures combs or rakes, participates in the design, and takes charge of the entire production process, including heat treatment, machining, specific vacuum brazing, instrumentation and calibration. The know-how we've built up through our dedicated testing facilities enables us to guarantee the precise positioning of the instrumentation in each nozzle.
Thermo Est thermocouples are used in the aerospace industry to measure heat flows or cooling circuits for engine testing. The thermocouple is held in place by a metal assembly, with high-temperature brazing +1050°C for thermocouples Ø 0.5 mm.
For on-board control
Brake temperature sensors
Braking is one of the vital functions of an aircraft, and it must be possible to stop the aircraft in an emergency. Our sensor authorizes retraction of the landing gear, and can operate at extreme temperatures in excess of +1000°C.
Aeronautical applications
Ambient temperature sensors
The ambient temperature inside an airliner is between 18°C and 25°C, while the outside temperature at cruising altitude is around -50°C.
Thermo Est offers precise resistance sensors to measure and regulate ambient temperature, guaranteeing flight comfort.
- Heat exchanger sensors
- Battery temperature
- Gas or fluid
- Harnesses
- Resistance thermometers
- Thermocouples
