  2. Tire-pressure monitoring system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_monitoring...

    The first generation of TPMS sensors that are integral with the valve stem can suffer from corrosion. [12] [13] Metallic valve caps can become seized to their valve stems due to galvanic corrosion and efforts to remove these caps can break the stem, destroying the sensor. A similar fate may befall aftermarket brass valve cores installed in ...

  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. Dustcap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustcap

    The dustcap is internally threaded and is secured by screwing it onto the end of the stem. To prevent corrosion due to electrolysis and malfunction of the electronics in a direct TPMS and avoid costly repairs, metal valve caps without insulating plastic linings should not be used on direct-TPMS-equipped tire valve stems. [1]

  5. Tire-pressure gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_gauge

    Many modern cars now come with built-in tire pressure sensors that allow all four tire pressures to be read simultaneously from inside the car. Before 2005, most on-board tire-pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) used indirect pressure monitoring. The anti-lock brake sensors detect one tire rotating faster than the rest and indicate a low tire ...

  8. Tire balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_balance

    In the tire factory, the tire and wheel are mounted on a balancing machine test wheel, the assembly is rotated at 100 RPM (10 to 15 mph with recent high sensitivity sensors) or higher, 300 RPM (55 to 60 mph with typical low sensitivity sensors), and forces of unbalance are measured by sensors. [1]

  9. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

    Capacitive Sensors generate a dielectric field between the tire and sensor. As the distance between the tire and the sensor varies, the voltage and/or current properties of the dielectric field change. Analog circuitry is employed to measure the field changes and record the run-out waveform. Capacitive sensors have a larger area-of-interest, on ...
