Automotive Pressure Transducers

Automotive pressure transducers are part of our range at Variohm, we have a selection of pressure transducers which are suitable and proven in automotive applications. 

To be effective within automotive applications, pressure transducers must be highly accurate and reliable as they are exposed to harsh conditions in this demanding environment. Our pressure transducers are rugged and durable making them well suited to harsh applications. 

Automotive Pressure Transducer Applications 

Within the automotive industry there are so many applications which use pressure transducers, some examples of these are;

• Transmission
• Engine emission
• Brake pressure
• Exhausts
• Fuel pressure
• Oil pressure
• Air/water pressure

Factors to be aware of…

When selecting your pressure transducer it’s important to understand the limits of the transducer and what the expected environment will involve. 

Understand the limits of the pressure you will be measuring to ensure your chosen pressure transducer has a range to cover it. 

Pressure transducers have an operating temperature range, ours is -40°C to 125°C for most of our products. The operating temperature range gives an indication on what the sensor can withstand without compromising performance.
