Modern engineering focuses on packing greater performance into smaller, lighter designs. This is especially important in aerospace and advanced electronics, where compact, high-efficiency components influence safety and mission success. For example, transformers often require customization to meet critical application needs, such as precise voltage regulation, lower power output, and operation at higher frequencies.
Stangenes Industries, Inc. builds compact custom transformers designed for specialized environments that demand more than standard solutions can offer. Learn more about why custom transformers are so important in mission-critical applications.
The Growing Need for Smaller, Lighter Transformers
As equipment shrinks in size and grows in complexity, industries are moving toward lighter, more space-conscious electrical systems. Aerospace leads this trend, as every extra inch or ounce of a component can affect fuel efficiency and mission success. Engineers rely on compact designs to minimize weight and accommodate more onboard systems without compromising safety or performance.
This push toward miniaturization makes small transformers essential. In addition to meeting certain sizing constraints, compact design transformers must also meet strict operational requirements, which is where custom design comes in.
Beyond Size: Customization for Specific Performance Demands
The need for a small transformer indicates not only physical size but also special voltage, power, or frequency requirements that standard products can’t meet. In aerospace, medical devices, and defense systems, performance needs are often too specific for off-the-shelf options.
Stangenes Industries specializes in developing custom transformers tailored to each project’s electrical and mechanical specs. If you need precise voltage regulation, high-frequency operation, and/or a unique form factor, Stangenes can build it from the ground up.
Common performance features in custom builds include:
- High-frequency operation
- Low output power for sensitive circuits
- Precise voltage control
- Thermal control or insulation
- EMC/EMI compatibility for regulated environments
These solutions allow engineers to create systems that are not only compact but also highly reliable and efficient.
Addressing Low-Volume Custom Transformer Needs
A big challenge many engineers face is finding a manufacturer that will build small transformers in small quantities. Most producers focus on high-volume standard transformer manufacturing, so low-volume custom build projects may struggle to find a manufacturing partner.
Stangenes Industries fills that gap. Whether you need a single high-frequency transformer for a prototype or a short run of aerospace transformers for a specialized system, we have the flexibility and experience to take on low-volume, high-precision projects. From one-off units to batches of highly specific designs, Stangenes works with your team at the concept, production, testing, and delivery stages.
