Improving drivetrain performance

The drivetrain includes all the components that transmit power from the engine to the wheels.
Drivetrain components operate in very severe environments, for instance inside the gearbox, clutch, differential and transfer case. Electricfil uses innovative sensor technologies to develop a wide range of systems, modules and sensors that meet the stringent reliability and dependability requirements of these applications. These products are mass-produced at very competitive costs.

Speed measurement

These speed sensors are used to measure gearbox input and output speeds and turbine speed for automatic transmissions. They offer long service lives and a very high degree of reliability even with high temperatures, vibrations, wobble and wide air gaps. Certain sensors measure both rotational speed and direction.

Position measurement

Electricfil has developed different technologies that cover numerous drivetrain applications. For instance, Electricfil offers sensing solutions to measure the position of the clutch master and/or slave cylinder, release bearing or pedal, the brake pedal and various gearbox components. The information provided by these sensors can be used to improve driving comfort through driver assistance functions such as hill-holder and keyless start.

Mechatronic and multi-sensor modules

These integrated modules can be used to design more compact gearboxes, lowering fuel consumption and improving driving comfort. By reducing the number of components, these modules improve reliability and maintainability, reduce the cost of interconnections and simplify assembly operations. The result is a turnkey solution that reduces the number of suppliers, increases the reliability of the function and cuts costs.
