Transmissions, whether for on or off-highway vehicles, use a variety of technologies. Most of these put fluids under pressure for control and lubrication purposes. Pressure ranges can be from 100 psi up to 700 psi or more. Kavlico offers many sensors that utilize various sensing technologies to monitor pressure in automotive transmission applications.
Kavlico was the first to offer a fully submersible sensor to monitor governor line pressure while also incorporating an integral temperature-sensing element. Compatible with most transmission fluids, these sensors are digitally calibrated to meet exacting customer specifications.
Continuously-Variable Transmission’s (CVT)’s normally operate at higher pressures and this requirement is addressed with Kavlico’s MEMS (Microelectromechanical system) sensor design that works best for system pressure ranges of 500 psi and higher as may be used by hydrostatic transmission applications.
