Oil-pressure applications

The regulation of oil pressure in a transmission is critical for minimum fuel consumption with low stress on the mechanism. This is where our OPS, VSP and IPT pressure sensors come into play. The special feature of our sensors is that they are robustly designed to withstand the stresses of oil-pressure applications. Heavy-duty connectors (e. g., bayonet, HDSCS, DT04) and a special design for system integration with particularly high pressure peaks put the finishing touch on the application and fulfil all necessary safety requirements.

Sensor systems for Oil-pressure applications

Oil pressure sensor (OPS)

For oil-pressure measurements in the transmission

Our oil pressure sensor OPS measures the oil pressure in transmissions of e. g. electric vehicles, in order to optimise the use of the engine power. It was designed to measure the absolute pressure inside the transmission housing, and is robust enough to be used with oil in the surrounding areas.

VSP pressure sensor

For oil-pressure applications

As one of our smallest pressure sensors, the VSP is particularly impressive thanks to its robust and submersible design, which makes it a reliable partner for all oil-pressure applications in motor vehicles and commercial vehicles.

IPS pressure sensor

For harsh operating conditions

The IPS pressure sensor is used in applications where high demands are placed on a sensor’s robustness and fluid compatibility. In situations involving harsh operating conditions, rough handling and severe vibrations, the IPS proves to be a reliable partner and provides precise and stable measurements over the entire life cycle.

IPT pressure sensor

For air-pressure regulation

Featuring a robust design, our IPT pressure sensor is used in commercial vehicles, in electronic air-treatment systems with various uses or in power packs for optimised switching processes. It helps to reduce mechanical wear, thus cutting maintenance costs.
