Have you Looked At CPI Linear Position Sensors Lately?
For well over a decade, CPI has been manufacturing a unique Hydraulic Cylinder Linear Position sensor, meant for the harshest environments, and longest stroke applications on the planet. We’ve learned a lot over that decade. We’ve not only improved the
J4 Ball Switch For Robust Position Sensing
For many applications, standard garden variety ball switches won’t cut it. In fact, even Google is confused about ball switches, conflating them with tilt switches that happen to use a floating ball in their implementation. But engineers know, that’s not
RPG Helicopter Defense.
As one of the workhorse helicopter assets of allied military’s around the world, the Chinook CH-47 and variants carry more cargo and soldiers into battle than any other flying aircraft. It is known as a “battlefield multiplier” and its importance
More Unique Marine Applications for CPI Switches
CPI Waterproof switches are seeing more and more niche applications where a robust switch with appropriate mounting hardware can be used in an environment that puts electrical controls in close proximity to water. Seacock Position Monitor No one would argue
CPI Limit Switches – Climbing that Mounting
Designers looking for a robust waterproof limit switch, will almost certainly run across our switches at some point. It’s that “all roads lead to Rome” thing. Sometimes however, its not just the stainless steel, high electromechanical endurance aspect of our
Why Intrinsic Safety Ratings Matter
As any manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders, or linear position sensors will tell you, achieving intrinsic safety ratings of ATEX, or IECEx (European) isn’t easy. And it isn’t cheap. But it is important and if you are considering ways to maximize
CPI’s Active RPG Defense System for the US Military
While CPI is certainly well known for its Waterproof Switches and Linear Position Sensors, lesser known are certain patents and intellectual property that CPI regularly develops. One of the most exciting ideas has to be CPI’s RPG Active Defense System
CPI Subsea Sensors Can Detect Reservoir Tank Levels 2 Miles Under the Sea
As Oil and Gas companies seek to expand and extend their retrieval capabilities both on and especially offshore, concerns about safety and exploration costs are never far from mind. Things have come a long way since the tragedy of Deepwater
