Overview of Common Sensors in Automotive Applications✅
Modern vehicles feature a variety of sensors that play a crucial role in optimizing engine performance, safety and efficiency. Here are some of the most used sensors in the automotive industry:
⚙️ 1. Engine Speed Sensor
It measures the engine's rotation speed, helping to control its performance and efficiency.
🔨 2. Shock Sensor
Detects abnormal combustion events (engine bumps), protecting the engine from serious damage.
🌬️ 3. Air Flow Sensor
It measures the amount of air that enters the engine, allowing for more efficient combustion.
4. 4. Camera Sensor
Monitor the position of the camshaft, crucial for engine synchronism.
❄️ 5. Coolant Sensor
Measures the temperature of the refrigerator, ensuring that the engine does not overheat. ️️ 6. Sensor of
Temperature
Measures the temperature of several components of the engine and the vehicle, protecting the systems from extreme temperatures.
💨 7. NOx sensor
Measures nitrogen oxide (NOx) levels in the exhaust, helping to control emissions.
📊 8. MAP Sensor (Admit Collector Absolute Pressure)
Measures the air pressure in the intake manifold, optimizing the mix of air and fuel.
🚗 9. Parking Sensor
Detects obstacles when parking, providing alerts to the driver to avoid collisions.
🚙 10. Vehicle Speed Sensor
Measures vehicle speed, used for brake system control and transmission management.
🧪 11. Oxygen Sensor
It measures oxygen content in exhaust gases, helping adjust the air and fuel mix to reduce emissions.
🏎️ 12. throttle sensor
Measures the position of the accelerator, providing key information to the engine control system.
🔩 13. Crank Sensor
Monitor your crank position and speed, crucial for engine synchronization.
⚡ 14. Voltage sensor
Measures the voltage in the vehicle's electrical system, ensuring that all components are working properly.
🌧️ 15. Rain Sensor
Detects the presence of rain and automatically activates windshield wipers, improving visibility and safety.
These sensors provide essential data to the vehicle control system, optimizing performance, safety, and emissions for more efficient and safer driving.
