Services
Control Systems
We design and manufacture high-performance control systems for aerospace and defense applications. Our systems include pressure, power, motion, and fluid controls engineered to operate reliably in extreme environments. These solutions undergo rigorous testing to meet MIL-STD and NASA certification requirements for mission-critical operations.
Flow Controls
Our flow control portfolio includes solenoid valves, pressure regulators, and proportional controls with over 77 years of development expertise. These components maintain precise fluid management in spacecraft, naval vessels, and tactical systems while meeting stringent performance standards for extreme conditions.
Power Electronics
We develop compact, high-efficiency power electronics including AC-DC converters and motor controls. Our patented 1-STEP technology achieves active power factor correction and regulation in a single conversion step, meeting demanding size, weight, and performance requirements for military and commercial aircraft.
Satellite Propulsion
Our satellite propulsion controls include latching valves, thruster valves, and proportional controls designed for chemical and electric propulsion systems. These flight-qualified components operate reliably in space vacuum conditions while maintaining compatibility with storable propellants for long-duration missions.
Shipboard Controls
We provide shipboard flow controls and thermal management systems engineered to withstand saltwater exposure and extreme temperatures. Our solutions include valve manifolds and auto-stop valves that meet naval requirements for shock, vibration, and low acoustic signature in surface ships and submarines.
