Overview

Aerospace and defense programs require sensors that survive extreme temperature, vibration, and pressure while delivering repeatable accuracy. SMD's proprietary thin-film strain gauge technology provides the long-term stability and ruggedness demanded by flight systems, ground test, and aircraft measurement — including custom force sensors used to monitor cabin pressure.

Sensing Challenges

How SMD Solves It

Cabin & pressure monitoring

Custom force and pressure sensors monitor aircraft cabin pressure and system integrity.

Long-term stability

Proprietary thin-film strain gauge construction delivers greater stability and accuracy with minimal drift across wide temperature ranges.

Structural load & test

High-accuracy miniature load cells measure structural and fatigue loads for aerospace test and measurement.
