CTS
Sensors, actuators, frequency-control components and piezoelectric solutions
About the manufacturer
CTS Corporation is a US technology company founded in 1896 as Chicago Telephone Supply Company. Over more than a century, it evolved from a telephone-equipment manufacturer into a global supplier of sensors, actuators and advanced electronic components.
Today CTS designs and manufactures solutions for industrial, transportation, medical, aerospace and defense markets. Its portfolio includes position, temperature and current sensors, actuators, piezoelectric components, filters, frequency-control devices and technologies used in control and communication systems.
CTS develops products for applications where repeatability, environmental robustness and long-term stability are essential. Its in-house materials expertise, including ceramics and piezoelectrics, allows the company to support OEMs with both discrete components and application-specific solutions.
Applications
CTS solutions are designed for equipment that requires precise sensing, motion control or stable frequency references. Typical applications include:
- Automotive and transportation – position, temperature and current sensing and actuation.
- Industrial automation – motion, position and process monitoring.
- Medical equipment – piezoelectric and sensing components for precision devices.
- Aerospace and defense – components for demanding environmental conditions.
- Communication systems – filters, oscillators and frequency-control devices.
- Energy and battery systems – current and temperature monitoring.
- OEM equipment – customized sensors and actuators.
CTS products available from Maritex
Maritex offers CTS electronic and sensing components for industrial, communication and OEM applications. The appropriate product depends on the required function and operating parameters of the target system.
Available product groups include:
- Sensors and measurement components.
- Frequency-control and stabilization components.
- Electromechanical and actuation components.
- Solutions for automation and industrial electronics.
- Components for OEM equipment requiring stable long-term performance.
CTS has a broad portfolio of specialized product families, so selection should be based on system function, temperature range, tolerance, interface and mechanical requirements.
For frequency-control components, nominal frequency, stability and package are key parameters; for sensors, the main factors are measurement range, accuracy, output characteristic and environmental robustness.
