Spectron Sensors

Spectron has emerged over decades, as one of the primary designers and manufacturers producing state of the art tilt sensors for both the military and commercial marketplaces, and to our good fortune, that marketplace today is continuing to expand over 60 years later. With current customers including Avionics, Maritime, Construction, Satellites, Medical, Navigation and Positioning Systems to name a few, our tilt sensors have been designed into most of the free world’s jet aircraft flight communication and navigation systems, both fixed and rotary. Spectron tilt sensors have also provided gravity reference for torpedoes, missiles, land navigation, ship antennas, microwave landing systems, and a host of other heavy equipment applications. As of late, we are now finding our customers adding the technology into a myriad of modern, technology driven components that were not a thought of possibility 60 years ago. Realizing the market need for more economical tilt sensing solutions, Spectron’s engineering team proceeded to develop new and innovative mountable tilt sensors using advanced Hybrid Ceramics, satisfying the most robust applications in extreme environments, both temperature and pressure. These sensors not only provide sensing in single and multi-axis applications, as the market has come to require, but we could also produce them at a fraction of the cost. This allowed the introduction of precision tilt sensing into many currently relevant applications previously cost prohibitive. Although our hand made class sensors are at the foundation of Spectron’s offerings to this day, the ceramic applications allow for unparalleled precision, customization, and designs to meet a myriad of applications.
