    Crankshaft position sensor (CKP) Curb feeler; Defect detector; Engine coolant temperature sensor; Hall effect sensor; Wheel speed sensor; Airbag sensors; Automatic transmission speed sensor; Brake fluid pressure sensor; Camshaft position sensor (CMP) Cylinder Head Temperature gauge; Engine crankcase pressure sensor; Exhaust gas temperature ...

  3. Direct TPMS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_TPMS

    direct TPM sensor fitted in valve system, manufacturer VDO. In most current designs of direct TPMS, a small electronic assembly which is rugged enough to be mounted inside a tire, measures the pressure using a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) [1] pressure sensor and then transmits this and other information to one or more vehicle receivers. [1]

  4. Overspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overspeed

    Mechanical overspeed protection is in the form of sensors. [6] The system relies on the centripetal force of the shaft, a spring, and a weight. [6] At the designed point of overspeed, the balance point of the weight is shifted, causing the lever to release a valve that makes the trip oil header to lose pressure due to draining. [6]

  5. MAP sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAP_sensor

    This is commonly referred to as gauge pressure. Boost pressure is relative to absolute pressure - as one increases or decreases, so does the other. It is a one-to-one relationship with an offset of -100 kPa for boost pressure. Thus, a MAP sensor will always read 100 kPa more than a boost sensor measuring the same conditions.

  6. Tell-tale (automotive) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tell-tale_(automotive)

    The oil pressure idiot light lights when engine oil pressure drops below a predetermined level. The light normally appears when the vehicle ignition is turned on, but the engine is not running, as it detects no oil pressure due to the oil pump not operating (the oil pump is powered off the crankshaft, so only operates when the engine is running ...

  7. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

    A pressure switch is a form of switch that operates an electrical contact when a certain set fluid pressure has been reached on its input. The switch may be designed to make contact either on pressure rise or on pressure fall. Pressure switches are widely used in industry to automatically supervise and control systems that use pressurized fluids.

  8. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    Regulators are used for gases and liquids, and can be an integral device with a pressure setting, a restrictor and a sensor all in the one body, or consist of a separate pressure sensor, controller and flow valve. Two types are found: The pressure reduction regulator and the back-pressure regulator.

  9. Eddy-current sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy-current_sensor

    Eddy current sensors are displacement sensors that use the principle of eddy current formation to sense displacement. These sensors measure shaft displacement in rotating machinery and have been around for many years as they offer manufacturers high-linearity, high-speed measurements, and high resolution. [ 1 ]
