Sensor solutions for automotive applications
In the automotive sector, sensors must withstand particularly demanding conditions. Extreme temperature fluctuations, constant vibrations, and high humidity levels directly affect measurement technology. Under these conditions, sensors must operate with consistent precision and reliability to ensure the proper functioning of modern vehicle components.
In applications such as engine and transmission management, accelerator pedal position detection, or steering angle measurement in active suspensions, sensors provide critical information for the entire drivetrain and driving operation. They help reduce fuel consumption and emissions while simultaneously improving engine efficiency and road safety. In this way, they contribute to a comfortable and controlled driving experience.
Usage
Motorsports – Steering Angle Detection
Product
Angle sensor, SP2800 series, RSM2800
Formula 1 cars place high demands on the parts and components used. Sensors for monitoring steering, transmission, and engine control require a high protection rating and must withstand high temperatures and vibration.
With a protection rating up to IP68 and a lightweight yet robust housing made of highly durable plastic or aluminum, the SP2800 series potentiometric angle sensor is well-equipped to withstand the most extreme conditions.
For applications exceeding 360°, such as steering angle detection, the contactless multiturn angle sensor of the RSM2800 series is suitable.
Usage
Engine Management: Accelerator Pedal Sensor / Throttle Valve

Electronic engine management is a computer-assisted system that optimizes engine operation in many situations. It promotes efficient fuel utilization and provides key information for functions such as idle speed control, cruise control, and traction control. This precise control significantly contributes to reducing fuel consumption and emissions, thereby helping to protect the environment.
The accelerator pedal sensor plays a central role in this process. It detects the exact position of the accelerator pedal and transmits this information to the control unit. Based on this, the position of the throttle valve is regulated, allowing the air-fuel ratio to be precisely determined. The quality of the input signal from the accelerator pedal sensor thus has a direct impact on responsiveness, efficiency, and driving comfort.

Custom Hall sensors
Sensor solutions in the automotive sector benefit particularly from measurement principles based on the Hall effect. This technology is largely insensitive to aging and remains stable even when the field strength of the position magnets used fluctuates. Hall-effect sensors also offer high resolution combined with good dynamic performance, and their measurement characteristics allow for large mechanical tolerances during installation.
Another advantage lies in the rapid and flexible implementation of customer-specific variants. This allows sensors to be precisely adapted to different installation scenarios and the functional requirements of modern vehicles. This combination of robustness, precision, and adaptability makes Hall sensor technology an ideal solution for many applications in the automotive sector.
