Profile
Parker Meggitt joined the Parker Aerospace Group in September 2022 following the successful acquisition of Meggitt PLC a world leader in aerospace, defence and energy. Parker Meggitt employs more than 9,000 people at over 37 manufacturing facilities and regional offices worldwide.
Parker Meggitt has become worldwide recognised as a leading supplier of high-performance and high reliability sensing and monitoring systems measuring physical parameters in the extreme environments.
Field of Expertise
- Piezo-electric transducers
- Vibration and dynamic pressure transducers
- Our systems measure displacement, relative and absolute vibration, rotational speed and dynamic pressure for space applications
- Parker Meggitt's sensors withstand temperatures from -253°C to +780°C, pressures up to 350 bar and vibration up to 10,000g
- Parker Meggitt's sensors use the eddy current measurement principle
References
Parker Meggitt has been designing systems for space applications since the early 1970s, including high-performance vibration and dynamic pressure transducers and electronics for launchers and satellites.
Parker Meggitt's instrumentation further supported the development of the Vulcain and Vulcain 2 engines of the Ariane 5 launcher. Many of Parker Meggitt's systems are flight qualified for Ariane 5.
