Kearflex Engineering Company was established in 1963 as a small family business. The target products were pressure sensing metallic diaphragms with primary applications in the aerospace industry. The need to compete in a manufacturing environment dominated by larger corporations made the initial years a daunting task. Utilizing experience as a design engineer in this marketplace, founder Robert Kearney helped managed a loyal customer base by producing consistent metallic diaphragms and capsule assemblies to pressure switch manufacturers. Kearflex sensors are used throughout the world in military and commercial aircraft supplying pressure outputs to automated cabin monitoring systems, air data transducers and pitot static instrumentation. Diaphragms fabricated from exotic metals are used extensively as isolation membranes in pressure transmitters. The company s sensors have also been used to monitor engine fluid pressures on farm and marine power plants, monitor altitudes for parachuting, provide depth readouts for divers and are even leaving the planet aboard the Freedom Space Station.
