Making Sense of e-mobility!
Our sensors make cars smarter, safer and more efficient. We have been a partner to renowned manufacturers of the global automotive industry for decades and are certified according to IATF 16949. Today, we have the capacity to develop components up to ASIL-D safety integrity for critical systems such as braking and power steering.
In partnership with our clients, we develop innovative products and solutions that contribute to a healthier planet and improve lives. Our safe and efficient technologies support a wide range of vehicle systems, including engine and powertrain, AFL headlamp levelling, battery systems, ventilation grill shutters, seat positioning, rransmission in commercial & off-road vehicles, steering systems, and human-machine interfaces. These solutions help transportation companies meet emissions regulations.
HOW CAN WE SUPPORT YOU?
Share with us your current projects, and we’ll be happy to assist with your progress.
Design help is also provided for automotive switches for example: centre console switchpacks, door lock & seat memory, master light, multi-function seat switches, multi-media interfaces, power window – sunroof lifters and steering wheel switches.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES
ELECTRIC MOTORS
There is a growing need for cost and size optimization in HEV and BEV powertrain development. Inductive motor position sensors offer stray-field immune, precise high-speed measurement of rotor position, thereby offering a compact and cost-effective alternative to traditional technologies such as resolvers.
VEHICLE BATTERY SYSTEMS
Battery management, motor control and inverters depend on precise measurement of the flowing current to either protect against overload or as basic requirement of the application. Hall-effect & TMR current sensors separate the circuit measured from the control circuit and return a signal proportional to the applied current.
TRANSMISSIONS
Input and output speed, park-lock position, gear speed and gear position are just a few applications in the vehicle drivetrain that depend on precise position measurement. Based on our expertise we have developed various custom inductive and hall sensors for automotive and truck applications on ASIL level.
GEAR SHIFTER
In automatic vehicles the gear shift determines the direction of travel of the vehicle. Modern shift-by-wire applications do not depend on mechanical connections but instead transmit an electric signal to the transmission. The position can be measured either contactless or contacing position sensor.
DRIVE-BY-WIRE SYSTEMS
Non-contact pedal position sensors based on inductive or Hall-effect technology are part of modern pedal-by-wire systems that replace conventional mechanical linkages. Depending on the required level of functional safety, redundancy measures can be implemented while retaining the benefits of simple mounting and low-maintenance operation.
AUTOMOTIVE ACTUATORS
Subsystems such as HVACR, mirror memory or fuel level systems rely on position sensors to feedback air damper position, mirror movement or fuel level. Depending on the application, potentiometers, specific HVAC sensors of printed resistors on a PCB can offer a space-saving and cost-efficient solution.
