Flight Control Load Force Sensors Contact Us

LORD Load Force Sensor Units are used to provide load reference information for fly-by-wire aircraft flight control systems. Our load force sensors measure real time load and record discrete load values. Also, our load force sensor units offer a standard core module, ARINC 429 interface, and embedded programmable digital electronics.

For almost twenty years, LORD has delivered over five thousand load force sensors for use in FbW flight control systems. All of this adds up to us having invaluable experience in both sensor design and field data on the use of such designs.

LORD has the technology, experience and capability to provide a more optimized unit in terms of system weight, cost, aircraft integration, reliability and maintainability. LORD load force sensors are designed for safety with the inclusion of a secondary mechanical path.

We are accustomed to working with both aircraft and system manufacturers in a collaborative environment. When coupled with our extensive and capable on-site test facility, LORD is able to support all fly-by-wire systems requirements, from development to certification, within the program schedule.

LORD is both an OEM and MRO solution provider - if you are owner or operator, please visit our MRO Services page.
