Verify Design Performance

Over the past two decades, we have been challenged by automotive design engineers to provide pressure sensors for use in the design and testing of automotive applications. Our sensors and software are used by engineers and designers around the world to optimize for comfort and function of interior and controls to drivetrain and chassis components.

Designing for feel & comfort

When testing automotive components that passengers interact with, such as door handles, dash controls and steering wheels, an ultra-thin, sensitive and conformable pressure sensor is required to gather small changes in pressures and subtleties in profiles.

Detailed pressure imaging for contoured surfaces

Components like windshield wiper blades, door seals, and sunroof seals also require a high level of precision during measurement. XSENSOR’s pressure sensors can conform to the topology of surfaces and provide an accurate measurement of an interface’s true pressure.

Optimizing high-pressure contacts

Some of our sensors have been designed with rugged and thin covers that make them ideal for use in high-pressure applications, including use as a brake pressure sensor or in disk clutch design. Durability that can withstand automotive design testing procedures.

Pressure sensors used in automotive design applications must be able to provide repeatable and accurate pressure distribution measurements for complex profiles and interfaces with intricate detail.

Our families of pressure sensors provide consistent measurement even under demanding conditions. For test engineers, the improved calibration stability leads to consistent data over thousands of cycles, which leads to reduced re-calibration frequency and a much lower total cost of ownership.
