The crankshaft position sensor is a less well-known component, but it works hand-in-hand with the crankshaft and the car's computer to keep the engine running smoothly and properly. The sensor's ...

The camshaft position sensor gathers information about the vehicle’s camshaft speed and sends it to the vehicle’s engine control module (ECM). The ECM uses this data to determine the timing of ...

But magnetostriction has other uses, too, such as in this clever linear position sensor. Magnetostriction is just the tendency for magnetic materials to change size or shape slightly while ...

CARS.COM — Most car owners probably don’t know that their vehicle has a crankshaft position sensor until the engine dies, won’t start or starts running poorly. Then when the car is in the ...

Intended for operation in harsh environments, the NCG-1-AL-UHV position sensor from Queensgate is the longest-range device in the company’s portfolio, with a measurement range of up to 11,000 µm. The ...

Various methods for measuring flux density have evolved, leading to the development of the fully integrated magnetic position sensor ICs that incorporate the magnetic sensing element, signal ...

And fluctuations are studied to determine if misfiring is occurring. The crankshaft position sensor is the most important of all engine management sensors, and the engine will absolutely not run ...
