Force transducers consist of precisely machined spring and internally placed LVDT(s). The compression or tension movement of the spring deflects the LVDT. The voltage output and signal is calibrated to correspond to the force input. These custom LVDT springs are designed for the load and performance requirements of each aircraft platform. Force transducers are used in a multitude of commercial and military aircraft applications.

By connecting the core of the engine to its fan case, these guide vanes support the structural integrity of the engine itself. When Pratt & Whitney was developing its PW1200G and PW1700G engines, it designed structural guide vane assemblies comprised of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) co-molded with various other metallic materials, which were then assembled with titanium ID and OD fittings. NE-XT developed the process to 5-axis machine these CFRP structural guide vanes. This included significant surfacing of large portions requiring tight tolerances for proper assembly. Today, our continued successful relationship with GKN Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney has positioned us as the exclusive machining supplier for these structural guide vanes, as well as the go-to shop for all long-term production requirements for these engines.
