Enclosure for position transmitter

摘要

The present invention relates to a enclosure for a control surface position transmitter used on aerospace vehicles. The enclosure has improved capability for protecting the components of the position transmitter from damage caused by moisture-induced corrosion. The enclosure is a can-shaped structure that includes separate compartments for its mechanical and electronic components. A series of channels and passageways allow air to circulate freely in and out of the mechanical component compartment, and the electronic component compartment includes a low power heater to keep the electronic components dry and moisture-free.
