Metal Sheathed High-Temperature Heaters

Ideal for severe or corrosive environments, metal sheathed high temperature heaters provide fast, radiant or conductive heat in a wide variety of configurations and watt densities.

Metal sheathed, high temperature heaters provide uniform heat with excellent heat transfer and electrical insulation in high temperature and high vibration applications. Diameter tolerances to .0008″ maximize surface contact and increase service life…available in S.A.E.and Metric sizes. Devices have been custom designed as glowplug heaters used to flash-off hydrogen build-up in industrial atmospheres and radial finned heater/sensor elements engineered to eliminate the need for a discreet sensor in the control loop. By judicious selection of conductor material, we are able to develop high voltage/low wattage and low voltage/high wattage devices without compromising heater performance.

Catalyst Bed Heater/Sensor

Problem: Catalyst bed heater needed for hydrazine thruster. Heater required to withstand repeated soakback temperatures to 1700°F over a seven year mission in the hard vacuum of space.

Solution: A miniature, high temperature heater with integral temperature sensor was designed to provide low power dissipation and good thermal fatigue resistance in a hermetically sealed housing.
