PRESSURE Gage Absolute Differential TEMPERATURE LIQUID FLOW MULTI-FUNCTION • Premium Quality products from the industry pioneer and inventor of the first negative disc spring • Highest Level of Accuracy for achieving the deadband • Capabilities from custom design, enhanced design as well as many standard designs • Superior Manufacturability from having perfected building the rough set

Outperforming the competition in accuracy, reliability and robustness Hydra-Electric’s superior sensing technology... • AVOIDS burst diaphragms • EVADES broken wire bonds • SURVIVES pump ripple fatigue • ENDURES high speed impulses • ELIMINATES pressure spike damage • WITHSTANDS high cycle counts - one million or more cycles Surviving Pump Ripple Issue A Tier 1 manufacturer of hydraulic systems was encountering problems with high levels of pressure ripple due to impeller pump. Their existing configuration utilized sensors based on older technology which resulted in premature catastrophic unpredictable...

Aerospace Innovation Since 1948 Over six decades ago, Hydra-Electric developed and patented the snap action sensing of pressure by means of the negative rate disk spring, employing an additional trim spring for pressure adjustment. This environmentally superior powered snap action design has since become the standard for critical aerospace applications. Hydra-Electric's designs were selected for numerous early military and space applications, including P80, F86, F100 through F104. X15, SR71, and U2 Aircraft; Mercury, Gemini, Saturn and Apollo Space Programs. Hydra-Electric's products have been...
