Sensors for Alternative Energy Applications
Alternative energy initiatives continue to find complements to hydrocarbon based energy sources. Some of these programs are well established while others continue to explore approaches that provide innovative sources of energy. Stellar Technology’s complete selection of pressure transducers/transmitters, load cells, force sensors, reaction torque transducers, temperature sensors, and LVDT displacement transducers provide sensors vital to both the development and implementation of these alternative energy technologies. From wind turbines to fuel cell production to power transmission systems, STI’s engineering expertise, proven sensor technology, field experience, and manufacturing capabilities provide customers with high reliability sensors for this broad range of applications. Our engineering and manufacturing center in Amherst, New York, is uniquely designed to deliver both standard products and custom-engineered special products. Rely on STI to add value to your alternative energy solutions.
STI provides a wide variety of sensors for alternative energy systems.
