Case Study

PSA Airlines

March 8, 2026

Background

Headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, PSA Airlines operates an all-jet fleet made up exclusively of Bombardier regional jet aircraft. Their team operates more than 800 flights daily to nearly 100 destinations on behalf of American Airlines.

Critical Tension

PSA’s mission is to deliver satisfied customers to their destination safely and on time.
To achieve this, they frequently inspect the aircraft cables used in the flight control system to ensure safety.
By monitoring cable tension in key areas, they can confirm each cable remains within its required tension range.

Tensitron Solution

A search for a tension measurement device led them to the Tensitron ACX-250-1 tension meter. This hand-held meter provides precise cable tension measurement with an accuracy of +/-2%.

A technician can use it one-handed to test support cable tension in seconds. Anduril’s towers are often set up in remote locations, and the compact hand-held gauges were the clear choice for ease of use and accurate testing.

Tensitron meters provide consistent, repeatable cable tension readings to help protect towers from wind damage and support maximum solar power generation with limited human intervention.
