- Inertial measurement sensors
YOUR ADVANTAGES
With cutting-edge technology and expertise, SCHOTT delivers sensor components built for the toughest environments:
- Hermetic protection: Safeguards sensitive electronics, enabling reliable accurate measurements while also reducing failures and operational costs.
- Optimal material selection: Combining technical know-how with co-development to meet specific needs, such as high resistance to pressure, moisture, and corrosion.
- Nickel/gold plating: Ensures easy integration, wire bonding, and connectivity, streamlining future processes.
- Glass-ceramic-to-metal sealing: Provides superior heat resistance, enabling high-temperature applications with simplified, less complex designs.
High-temperature sensor packaging
High-temperature sensor packaging
Our HEATAN® glass-ceramic-to-metal sealing technology combines the best qualities of two materials, offering a compelling alternative to conventional ceramic seals. Glass ceramics provide the same high-temperature stability as ceramics while enabling cost-efficient, space-saving designs — ideal for compact sensors. With temperature resistance from 300°C to over 1000°C, this sealing technology ensures exceptional gas-tightness and corrosion protection without the need for brazing, simplifying the sealing process and lowering costs.
APPLICATIONS
- Aerospace and aviation - jet engines and control systems
- Automotive - engine compartments and exhaust systems
- Oil & gas - downhole drilling sensors
- Power generation - turbines
- Industrial process control - chemical processing, glass production, or metal smelting
- Nuclear industry - nuclear reactors and containment systems
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- Robust to ultrahigh temperatures
Superior gas-tight insulation at operating temperatures >300°C and peak temperatures >1000°C.
- Less complex and more cost-efficient
HEATAN® sensor feedthroughs are single-component solutions, enabling simpler, more economical high-temperature sensors
