Hydra-Electric Company, a provider of breakthrough technology in sensors and switches for the aerospace industry, announces it will be exhibiting for the first time at Heli-Expo in Orlando, Florida, March 3-5. Presented by the Helicopter Association International [HAI], Heli-Expo is the largest helicopter exhibition and trade show in the world, attracting over 20,000 attendees.

Hydra-Electric provides products to numerous commercial and military rotary wing aircraft manufacturers, including AgustaWestland, Airbus Helicopter, Bell Helicopter, Bell Boeing Helicopter, Boeing Defense, General MD Helicopter, and Sikorsky.

“Rotary wing aircraft require specially engineered switches and sensors with higher vibration tolerances and pressure sensitivities,” said Tim Burmood, Director of Sales at Hydra-Electric. “Our high performance sensing technology excels within hostile and challenging environments in applications such as engines, hydraulic and fuel systems.”

Visitors can find Hydra-Electric in the First-Time Exhibitor Pavilion at Booth #4307. For a complete list of rotary aircraft programs where Hydra-Electric’s products are represented, visit http://www.hydraelectric.com/programs/rotary.

About Hydra-Electric
Hydra-Electric is a provider of breakthrough technology in sensors and switches for the aerospace industry. Its suite of solutions includes pressure, temperature and multi-function sensors; and pressure, temperature and liquid flow switches. Hydra’s high performance sensing technology is able to address problems which were previously thought to be unsolvable, including pressure spike damage, pump ripple, high speed impulses, burst diaphragms, broken wire bonds and more.

The company has been an innovator in the industry since 1948 when it introduced the Negative Rate Disk Spring design that remains the standard today for most aerospace pressure switches. Hydra-Electric’s products have been used across hundreds of military and commercial applications, including fixed wing and rotary aircraft, missiles, rockets, ships, submarines, tanks and UCAVs.
