Encyclopedia
Crouzet is a brand of Custom Sensors and Technologies (CST). The company was founded in 1921, and is involved in the field of electronic, electromechanical and magnetic technologies, Crouzet addresses the full spectrum of automation
functions, including sensing, monitoring, actuating, processing and communicating. Crouzet's range covers automation and control, cockpit control, electrical protection, motors and actuators, pneumatics
, position sensors and switches.
Cockpit control: Human-machine interfaces for control of aircraft or helicopters (mini-control columns, control wheels, grips, buttons, circuit-breaker panels).
Electrical protection: Thermal, arc detection, differential, remote control (RCCB) and electronic circuit-breakers, as well as electrical distribution circuit-breaker panels for all types of aircraft or helicopters.
Motors and Actuators: Geared DC Brush and Brushless Motors (Brushless DC electric motor
).
Pneumatics: This product line is specialized in logic and electro pneumatic products.
Position sensors: Electronic detection that is selected on most aeronautic programs. Proximity switches with integrated electronics and external electronics.
Switches: Snap action switches both for very high currents and low level signal currents, Microswitches and Limit Switches.
Automation
Automation is the use of control systems and information technologies to reduce the need for human work in the production of goods and services. In the scope of industrialization, automation is a step beyond mechanization...
