Product Features & Advantages

Integrated Sensor-Valve Design

The QXF-4A combines pressure sensing and flow control functions in a single compact unit, eliminating the need for separate components, additional piping, and multiple connection points. This integration reduces potential leak paths by 60% and decreases installation time by 40% compared to traditional separate component approaches.

Military-Grade Durability

Designed and tested to withstand extreme environmental conditions encountered in military aviation operations, including temperature extremes from -55°C to +125°C, high vibration environments up to 2000Hz, shock loads up to 100g, and rapid pressure transients. The unified construction provides enhanced reliability compared to systems with multiple interconnections.

Advanced Ceramic Sensing Technology

Incorporates a proprietary thick-film ceramic pressure sensing diaphragm that provides excellent long-term stability, minimal hysteresis, and superior resistance to media contamination. The ceramic technology, developed through our precision manufacturing expertise, offers exceptional accuracy retention over the component's service life.

Rapid Response Operation

With actuation times under 4 milliseconds and pressure signal updates within 4 milliseconds, the QXF-4A provides near-instantaneous response for real-time system control and monitoring in critical aviation applications including flight controls and engine management systems.

Advanced Sealing Technology

Incorporates multi-layer hermetic sealing techniques developed through our expertise in Metal Sealing Relay manufacturing. The integrated design eliminates intermediate seals between sensor and valve functions, reducing potential failure points and enhancing long-term reliability.

Lightweight Integrated Design

Weighing under 3 grams, the QXF-4A provides both sensing and control functions without the weight penalty of separate components—critical for aircraft and drone applications where every gram affects performance, range, and fuel efficiency.

EMI/EMC Compatibility

Designed to operate reliably in electrically noisy aviation environments, complementing our PCB Signal Relay and Solid State Relay products in integrated electronic control systems. Features built-in RFI/EMI protection and filtered signal outputs.

Self-Diagnostic Capability

Optional smart versions include built-in diagnostics that monitor valve position, sensor health, and system integrity, providing early warning of potential issues and enabling predictive maintenance strategies.

Low Power Consumption

Operating at just 0.3-0.43W for both sensing and control functions, this integrated component minimizes power draw—particularly valuable for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other battery-dependent systems.

Application Scenarios

Aircraft Engine Fuel Management

Critical for integrated fuel pressure monitoring and flow control in both turbine and piston aircraft engines. Provides simultaneous pressure feedback and precise fuel metering for optimal engine performance and efficiency while reducing component count and potential leak points.

Drone & UAV Hydraulic Systems

Essential for compact hydraulic systems in military and commercial drones where space and weight are at a premium. The integrated design provides pressure monitoring and flow control for flight control actuators, landing gear, and payload mechanisms in a single lightweight component.

Aircraft Hydraulic Control Systems

Provides integrated pressure sensing and valve control for flight control hydraulic systems, landing gear systems, and utility hydraulic functions. The unified design enhances reliability by eliminating intermediate connections that are potential failure points.

Pneumatic System Regulation

Ideal for aircraft pneumatic systems including cabin pressure control, air conditioning, and instrument air systems where integrated pressure monitoring and flow regulation simplifies system design and improves reliability.

Lubrication System Management

Monitors oil pressure while providing precise flow control in engine lubrication systems, gearbox lubrication, and auxiliary lubrication circuits for optimal component protection and system performance.

Test and Ground Support Equipment

Provides integrated control and monitoring for hydraulic test carts, refueling systems, and maintenance equipment where space optimization and reliability are critical for efficient ground operations.

Redundant System Applications

Serves as compact backup components in critical systems where space constraints prevent installation of separate sensor and valve assemblies for redundancy.

Value for Procurement Managers

Reduced System Complexity and Weight

Combining sensing and control functions in a single component reduces overall system weight by 30-50% compared to separate sensor and valve installations, while decreasing the number of individual components required by 40%.

Enhanced System Reliability

Eliminates intermediate connections and potential leak points between separate sensor and valve components, reducing failure modes and improving overall system reliability. The integrated design provides more consistent performance over temperature and vibration ranges.

Lower Installation and Maintenance Costs

Reduces installation time by 40% compared to separate components, with fewer connections to make and verify. Maintenance is simplified with only one component to inspect, calibrate, and replace instead of multiple separate items.

Improved System Performance

The integrated design minimizes pressure drop and signal latency between sensing and control functions, providing faster, more accurate system response compared to systems with physically separated components.

Simplified Inventory Management

Reduces the number of unique part numbers required in inventory, similar to the standardization benefits of our Automotive Relay product line. One integrated component replaces multiple separate items, simplifying procurement and logistics.
