Sensors for Chassis Applications
Chassis solutions for more safety and comfort
The function of modern chassis applications requires sensors which, by short response times and high accuracies, contribute to optimising driving comfort and security.
Besides a wide range of robust sensors, we offer position sensors with multi-functional design as well as innovative steering sensors in contactless technology.
Intelligent sensor-concepts for fast and precise temperature detection also in demanding applications
Temperature sensors by KYOCERA AVX are reliable, fast and precise in liquid and gaseous media such as water, oil, fuel, intake air and charge air.
With more than 20 years of experience in developing and producing temperature sensors we are well positioned as partners to wellknown OEMs and Tier 1 / 2 suppliers in the automotive industry.

A wide range of technology know-how enables position detection for versatile applications
KYOCERA AVX has been developing and producing position sensors based on different technologies since 1990. This developments include Autopad® our proprietary contactless inductive technology.
With a large portfolio of patents, KYOCERA AVX is a well-known supplier for large-volume production for car and truck applications. We also have medium- and small-volume production for specialpurpose vehicles and agriculture applications.
Special features
Application example:
The standard solution: The inductive height level sensor (IHSS) from KYOCERA AVX records this information precisely and reliably, even under harsh environmental conditions.
As a height sensor combined with a linkage, the angle sensor with the detection of the chassis level on the vehicle is used for headlamp leveling or control of active suspensions. Other applications that are connected to a linkage (e.g. clutch and brake pedal) can also use the HSS.
Application example:
KYOCERA AVX Chassis Sensors support the camera and radar systems of advanced vehicles in perceiving their environment and potential road dangers
The fast and precise comparison of this information with the actual state of the vehicle indicates the need for action to ensure a safe and comfortable ride. Our position sensors in weight-optimized design permanently detect the chassis position and provide necessary information for assistance systems, which are indispensable especially regarding autonomous driving. KYOCERA AVX chassis sensors operate with a linearity of +/-1% and reliably cover the IP6K9K protection range. Output signals in analog, PWM, PSI5 and SENT can be generated, with a class B ASIL capability.
We support a temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C.
Characteristics:
- Linearity: +/- 1 %
- Sealing: IP6K9K
- Output signals: Analog, PWM, PSI5, SENT
- Temperature range: -40 °C to +125 °C
- ASIL: B
