Stering wheel angle sensor
Measurement of angles from -780 to 780

Aplication

The steering Wheel angle sensor

was developed for use with
vehicle dynamics systems.

Design and function

The steering Wheel is outputted

in the form of an absolute angle
across the total steering column
rotation range. One of thios
sensors special features sio the
fact that the correct angle
totation is available inmediatly
the ignition is switched on.
Throttle valve angular position sensor
Measurement of angles up to 88

Aplication

These sensors are used in

automotive applications for
measuring the angle of rotation
of the throttle valve.

Design and function

This sensor is a potentiometer

sensor with a linear
characteristics curve. It
generates a voltaje ratio which is
proportional to the throttle
valves angle of rotation.
Yaw sensor
with micromechanical acceleration sensor

Aplication

The sensor is able to

differentiate between normal
cornering and vehicle skidding
movements.

Design and function

The complete unión is comprised

a yaw sensor and an acceleration
sensor, together with evaluation
electronics.
Inductive rotational speed sensor
Incremental measurement of angles and rotational speeds

Aplication

They measure engine speeds and

Wheel speeds for ABS systems,
and convert these speeds into
electric signals.

Design and function

Changes in magnetic flux are

generated at the transitions
between the tooth space.
Hall effect rotational speed sensors
Digital measurement of rotational speeds

Aplication

Compare to inductuve type

sensors they have an advantge in
their output signal being
independent of the rotational
speed..

Design and function

Hall voltaje is generated at right

angles to the direction of
current.
Acceleration sensor
Measurement of acceleration up to 5gs

Aplication

It registers the vehicle

accelerations which are the
direct result of fluctuations in
crankshaft speed.

Design and function

The sensor element comprises a

vending element consisting of
two anti parallela polarized
piezoelectric.
Piezoelectric acceleration sensors
Measurement of acceleration up to 35gs

Aplication

Used in automotive occupant

protection systems for triggering
the airbag.

Design and function

The heart of this acceleration

sensor is piezo ceramic strip of
polycristaline sintered material.
Piezoelectric vibration sensors
Measurement of structure borne noise/acceleartion

Aplication

In case of irregular combustión in

engines and on machines.

Design and function

On account of its inertia, a mass

exerst compressive forces on a
ring shaped piezo ceramic
element in time withe
oscillation.
Micromechanical differential pressure sensors hybrid design
Measurement of pressure in gases from -100kPa to 5kPa

Aplication

Used to measure the differential

pressure between the intake
manifold pressure of the drawn in
air a refrences pressure which is
inputted through a hose.

Design and function

On account of its inertia, a mass

exerst compressive forces on a
ring shaped piezo ceramic
element in time withe
oscillation.
