The modern automotive industry is undergoing a revolution in the area of new technologies used in transmissions (gearboxes and clutches). In Europe, the market is experiencing a rapid rise in robotized or "electronic" manual gearboxes (digital power clutches, sequential gear shifts, etc.), which reduce fuel consumption by improving flexibility in changing gears, all the while adding comfort and security.
Leader in transmission sensors (speed and position) for automatic gearboxes, Electricfil is increasing its presence, today, in this new market, the result of a technological leap as well as for transmissions for hybrid vehicles.




 
   
 From passive sensors to active sensors
 
In the field of transmissions, today's trend is to integrate active sensors (Hall and MR technology) instead of passive sensors (inductive technology) to measure the output or input speed of gearbox. This evolution allows the measure of very low speeds within a reduced space and delivers a digital signal.
Thanks to its perfect know-how of active sensor technologies, Electricfil benefits from a true technological advance.
   
 Position sensors
 
Stemming from contactless technologies, the new compact linear and angular position systems developed by Electricfil are focused on new transmissions needs.
Electricfil proposes innovative solutions, encoded to detect positions and analogic to measure displacements. Sturdy and accurate, these sensors appeal to new electronic developments for a simpler and more fexible signal processing.
   
 Multifunction sensors
 
Focused on integration Electricfil develop solutions gathering several functions within the same sensor.
For example, a sensor measuring the input speed of a gearbox and the temperature is used in a double clutch transmission.
   
 Mechatronic systems
 
An active partner of a major transmission manufacturer, Electricfil designed and developed, in partnership with another major equipment supplier, the mechatronic system that equips the most innovative 6-speed automatic transmissions. Because it can also be fitted on small vehicles, thanks to its compact size, this system is now on numerous cars.
