Motors and actuators are critical enablers of guidance, propulsion, and stabilization as aerospace and defense systems shift toward more autonomous, scalable, and high-volume architectures. Sensata’s new focus positions the company to support higher-value applications where performance, reliability, and responsiveness directly impact system safety and mission success.
“Motion control is evolving from a component-level requirement to a mission-critical capability in modern aerospace & defense systems,” said Stuart Parker, Vice President and General Manager for Aerospace and Defense Business, Sensata Technologies. “We are expanding our high-power density motors portfolio to address emerging flight control actuation and propulsion opportunities, where precision, efficiency, and reliability are essential. This marks an important step forward in how we support our customers across next-generation aerospace platforms.”
Sensata's application-specific design approach enables customers to optimize motor performance for unique mission requirements rather than relying on standard off-the-shelf solutions. The motors are engineered with an emphasis on SWaP-C optimization and are enabled by Sensata’s vision to build a world-class network of AS9100-certified manufacturing hubs across the United States and Mexico. This expanding aerospace-grade manufacturing ecosystem is designed to provide customers with greater capacity, regional flexibility, supply-chain security, and uncompromising quality for next-generation aerospace and defense platforms. The portfolio is engineered to withstand harsh operating environments, including shock, vibration, altitude and temperature extremes, in alignment with RTCA/DO-160 and MIL-STD-810 requirements.
Sensata's motors portfolio supports a wide range of aerospace and defense applications, including flight control actuation, propulsion, stabilization, guidance, surveillance, targeting and precision positioning systems.
