Description
Description

Hydraulic lift platforms are essential tools in both commercial and military aviation, providing the stability and lifting power needed to assemble, inspect, and maintain aircraft components at various stages. These platforms rely on accurate fluid level monitoring to operate safely and effectively. Thomas Products’ 1100/1200 series level sensors are built to withstand the harsh conditions of aerospace ground support environments, delivering consistent readings in high-pressure hydraulic systems.

With chemically resistant materials and rugged construction, our sensors are designed to handle temperature extremes, vibration, and repeated heavy-duty use, making them ideal for aerospace applications where failure is not an option. These level sensors offer customizable mounting options and compatibility with a wide range of hydraulic fluids, ensuring integration flexibility and long-term reliability.

Application

 Thomas Products’ 1100/1200 series level sensors are used extensively in aerospace hydraulic systems, where fluid level precision is critical to the performance and safety of equipment. From aircraft lift platforms in hangars to mobile cargo loading units and auxiliary systems within the aircraft cabin, our sensors deliver accurate, repeatable measurements in mission-critical scenarios.

Aircraft Hydraulic Lift Platforms

 Our 1100/1200 level sensors are embedded in hydraulic lift systems that support aircraft during construction, inspection, and repair. By monitoring fluid levels in real-time, they help maintain optimal hydraulic pressure, prevent system failures, and ensure safe, efficient operation, whether lifting a wing section or positioning a fuselage.

Onboard Systems – Food Chillers & Cargo Loaders

 In commercial aviation, Thomas Products’ sensors are used to manage fluid levels in auxiliary systems such as food and beverage chilling units and hydraulic cargo loading mechanisms. Their compact design and compatibility with aerospace-grade fluids make them ideal for confined, vibration-prone onboard environments where reliability is crucial.
