Automotive Sensor (Transducer)

Features

Sensors for Evaluating Strength and Operation Stability

In order to evaluate the strength of a vehicle, the force applied to the wheels and body must be accurately determined while driving. KYOWA sensors measure the force applied to vehicles under various driving conditions, and play an important role in designing the strength of parts such as the body and suspension. We carry a wide variety of sensors designed to measure various forces applied to wheels on vehicles, and our products can even be linked with on-board networks to gather measured data together with data from other sensors, allowing vehicle behavior to be determined in even more detail.

Sensors for Evaluating Driving Stability and Operability

It is important to use numbers to quantitatively determine what people feel qualitatively, such as when operating a steering wheel. KYOWA pedal force sensors, steering operating force sensors, and steering angle sensors can be used to evaluate how a vehicle reacts to the operations of the driver, and contribute to improving vehicle operability. They can also be used to analyze the behavior of the driver when driving, which can help contribute toward developing advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).

Sensors for Crash & Safety Testing

Since developing our first on-board measurement system for crash tests in 1988, KYOWA has continued to provide a variety of sensors for use in evaluating passenger injury levels and evaluating safety device performance for components such as airbags and seat belts, including built-in sensors for human body dummies and seat belt tension sensors.
