Proximity Sensors

Goodrich proximity sensor housings are robust, hermetically sealed enclosures that have been proven to perform in extreme aircraft environments. Goodrich offers two standard types of connection to the aircraft wiring, using an integral sensor connector or through pigtail terminations.

Goodrich has developed sensors (round or rectangular) and systems for aircraft manufacturers for installation on ground spoilers, access doors and landing gear. These designs have the flexibility to support various installations with the minimum of sensor types and part numbers, typically one or two part numbers for each aircraft type. Goodrich is committed to developing the optimum suite of sensors to support varied applications with the goal of maximum functionality and commonality.
