Project Challenge

• Electronics that would fit into the wheel mounted tire inflation valve
• Extreme shock, vibration and temperature requirements
• It also had to withstand pressure up to 600psi
• To meet these conditions a material assessment had to be performed as standard materials would not suffice

Valtronic Solutions

• Due to the sensitivity of the sensor it was attached using a material that allows for movement in the system
• Sensor had to be attached to a surface which was not in a fixed position
• Chip-on-Board – high reliability to meet environmental requirements
• Electronics measures
  • Temperature
  • Pressure
• Transmits tire pressure and temperature information to systems installed on the aircraft for cockpit display as well as to portable readers used by maintenance personnel
• Battery is not required
