Pressure sensors - brake systems
Pressure sensors monitor air pressure within brake systems and support precise control and diagnostics. They are critical to the performance of ABS, EBS, and overall brake safety.
In modern commercial vehicles, pressure sensors are essential components for measuring and transmitting brake pressure data. They send real-time values to the vehicle’s ECU or brake control module, enabling intelligent management of braking force, system balance, and early fault detection.
These sensors are installed at key points — such as valves, reservoirs, and EBS control units. They monitor inputs like pedal pressure, axle load-based distribution, or potential system leaks, providing feedback for electronic systems like ABS and EBS.
Most brake pressure sensors are electrically operated and mounted with a threaded or flanged fitting. Signals are transmitted via direct wiring or CAN-bus integration to the truck’s onboard electronics.
Faulty sensors can result in warning lights, poor brake modulation, or even partial loss of braking performance. That’s why accuracy and durability are essential in this category.
