Company profile

Senstronics

Manufactures thin-film pressure-sensing elements using semiconductor processes in Newton Aycliffe.

Company overview

Senstronics manufactures and supplies pressure-sensing elements using thin-film technology and electronic strain gauges. Its website states that semiconductor technologies are used to manufacture high-volume pressure sensors in an on-site, custom-designed class 100 cleanroom. This provides a connection to semiconductor processing rather than only generic industrial instrumentation. The company describes sensor elements designed for stable, predictable output across temperature ranges, with applications in automotive, industrial and off-highway equipment. Its production information also identifies stainless-steel pressure elements, automated laser welding and in-line over-pressure testing. The current contact address is at Aycliffe Business Park in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham. The reviewed pages establish manufacturing and specialist sensor-process capability, but do not identify the deposited sensing-film composition or establish silicon MEMS fabrication.
