Safran Colibrys is a world-leading supplier of MEMS based motion sensors suited best for harsh-environments (Military, Aerospace, Oil & Gas and Rail) and safety critical applications (Industrial and Instrumentation).

State of the art sensors

With over 25 years MEMs development and production expertise, Safran Colibrys are a proven partner for applications that demand high-quality and reliable motion sensors with a range that includes extremely low noise, shock resistant seismic sensors, high stability shock tolerant inertial and shock accelerometer tilt sensors as well as DC coupled capacitive vibration sensors.

As a leading supplier with over one million sensors delivered for mission-critical applications, Safran Colibrys' sensors offer outstanding features such as, high resolution, low noise, long term bias repeatability, low power consumption and small form factors (LCC20) with hermetically sealed packaging to ensure performance stability for challenging applications.
 

Their MEMS sensors challenge the well-established electromechanical devices and quartz type accelerometers thanks to their accuracy, robustness, lower power consumption, smaller size and more competitive price.

Safran Colibrys sensors are perfectly suited to high vibration applications that require low noise, low power, resistance to repetitive shocks and insensitivity to temperature environments and guarantee confidence of measurements in rugged environments with high accuracy.

Specialised for very precise navigation and directional drilling applications that require constant thermal monitoring to maintain optimal working conditions.
