Bendix King Magnetic Azimuth Transmitter KMT-112

This part number designates a remote-mounted magnetic azimuth transmitter, commonly referred to as a flux detector or flux valve, manufactured by Bendix King (Honeywell). It functions as the primary directional sensor for slaved compass systems.

Description

Key Technical Capabilities
  • Earth’s Magnetic Field Sensing: Utilizes internal, highly sensitive flux gate coils to continuously measure the horizontal component of the earth’s natural magnetic field structure without relying on physical moving compass cards. 
  • Slaved Heading Stabilization: Transmits real-time magnetic orientation signals directly to remote slaving accessories or flight computer gyros (such as the King KG-102A directional gyro), automatically correcting gyro drift over time. 
  • Remote Interference Isolation: Engineered to be hard-mounted in high-isolation airframe zones—typically the extreme wingtip cavity or vertical tail cone matrix—to shield the sensor from cockpit electrical current loops and magnetic engine controls. 
  • Solid-State Sensor Matrix: Built with an oil-damped pendulous suspension system enclosed inside a sealed container dome to prevent reading disruptions caused by typical aircraft pitch and roll movements during standard cruise trajectories.
