AUTOMOTIVE SENSORS

You are here:

The number of automotive sensors in modern vehicles is constantly increasing as well as automotive sensors manufacturers. Automotive sensors provide measured values for electronic control units and are therefore an important part of the safe, comfortable and economical operation of cars, trucks and buses. There are high demands on the reliability and stability of automotive sensors as the extreme conditions in automotive applications. At the same time, the automotive sensors must be small, energy-efficient and cost-effective. Many automotive sensors manufacturers are constantly improving their techniques to meet the demands of customers, including us.

 1. What Is Automotive Sensors?

 

An automotive sensor is an electronic device that monitors various aspects of a vehicle and sends information to the driver or ECU (Electronic Control Unit). In some cases, the ECU automatically makes adjustments to specific components based on information received from automotive sensors. Below are more details about automotive sensors.

 

1) Automotive sensors can monitor various aspects of a car such as temperature, coolant system, engine, oil pressure, emission levels, vehicle speed, and more. Different automotive sensors manufacturers provide various automotive sensors, so people can find various automotive sensors from different automotive sensors manufacturers.

2) The human sensory organs (eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, hands) are the best examples for understanding how automotive sensors work. They send signals to the brain, which then makes a decision.

3) Likewise, automotive sensors send signals to the ECU to make appropriate adjustments or alert the driver.

4) From the moment the engine is started, automotive sensors are constantly monitoring every aspect of the car.

5) In modern cars, automotive sensors are everywhere, from the engine to the vehicle’s the least critical electrical component.

2. Functions of Automotive Sensors

 

As so many automotive sensors in a car monitoring the operation of various systems and components, automotive sensors can do more than you might think.

 

However, no matter which aspect the automotive sensor monitors, the primary function of the automotive sensor is the same. It sends information to the ECU about the system it is tracking. The data is relayed through predefined algorithms, on the basis of which the ECU makes adjustments. If the ECU is unable to make the necessary changes, it warns the driver.

3. Types of Automotive Sensors

 

A modern car can have over 100 control modules to control everything in the car. The engine management has the most automotive sensors. Hence, a modern car engine has 15 to 30 automotive sensors to make sure everything is running properly. These sensors control everything in the engine for optimum performance. All in all, there are more than 70 sensors in total throughout the modern car.

 

But while there are tons of different sensors in your vehicle – and not every vehicle has the same types of car sensors – there are plenty that you can find across the board on different car sensor manufacturers.

 

Here are some types of car sensors: Air-flow sensor; Engine knock sensor; Engine speed sensor; Camshaft position sensor; Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor; Throttle position sensor; Voltage sensor; Oxygen sensor; NOx sensor; Speed sensor; Parking sensor; Rain sensor; Current sensor; Pressure sensor.  Besides, different car sensor manufacturers provide various sensors.

 

3.1 The Importance of Current Sensors in Cars

 

As an experienced car sensor manufacturer, we are specialized in developing and manufacturing current sensors that measure electrical parameters in battery-management, motor-control applications, DC/DC converters and on-board chargers, which works with all the major vehicles.

 

Taking battery-management as an example, battery system is the heart of an electric vehicle, which consists of a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and a battery management system (BMS) to maximize battery usage and safety. A BMS can be defined as any electronic system that manages a rechargeable battery pack by maintaining operation within its safe operating area (SOA), monitoring its status, calculating auxiliary data, reporting that data, and balancing individual cell voltages.

The main function of the BMS is to manage the state of the battery by monitoring its voltage, current and temperature so that it operates within rated safe operating specifications. That is wht we are making efforts to enhance our techniques on current monitoring as a professional car sensor manufacturer.

 

Therefore, accurate monitoring the battery current not only helps to prolong its service life and improve driving range, but also alleviates “range anxiety” by letting the driver know the remaining battery capacity. That is to say, current sensors are critical to electric vehicles, where even a slight malfunction can lead to complete failure. Hence, as a professional and responsible car sensor manufacturer, we make sure every sensor that we delivered to our customer is intact.

 

To conclude, the current sensors can predict the battery aging effect by collecting basic information of the battery, increased car battery life due to reduced deep discharge, and increased the safety of the vehicle by avoiding any potential chance of arcing in the vehicle. Last but not least, Luksens is one of the best car sensor manufacturers that can provide high-quality current sensors which perfectly applies on car.

 

3.2 The significance of Pressure Sensors in Cars

 

Driving would be a completely different experience if modern vehicles didn’t use pressure sensors that help manage everything from braking to power windows, to power steering.

 

In fact, the most critical systems in vehicles rely on pressure sensors to measure and monitor critical parameters, which have become central to making our roads safer and improving the driving experience.

 

Here are examples that shows how exactly do pressure sensors enable better vehicles: detecting early faults in hydraulic brakes, optimizing the fuel mix to match the air pressure, cleaning exhaust filters automatically, ensuring the catalytic converter is sealed, monitoring exhaust recirculation, checking the pressure of critical fluids, stopping doors from catching your fingers, detecting leaking vapours, releasing pedestrian airbags, etc.
