Active Speed and Position Sensors for Engine Management

Cam and crank position sensors are most often used to help customers enhance their system's pollution control, fuel efficiency, and ignition timing. Transmission speed sensors help automatic transmissions shift smoothly.

Engine Management Building Block Comparison Chart

1.5C Gear-Tooth Sensor

• A "power on," zero-speed Hall-effect sensor
• Detects the movement of ferrous metal targets
• Suitable for camshaft position sensors that require true "power on"

1.5M Gear-Tooth Sensor

• A magnetoresistive (MR) gear-tooth sensor
• Accurately detects the movement of ferrous metal targets, both single or complementary
• Offers "power on" recognition with a complementary target and excellent low-speed and zero-speed performance
• Ideal for camshaft and crankshaft position sensors that require "power on" and extreme accuracy

1.5P Gear-Tooth Sensor

• An environmentally protected Hall-effect gear-tooth sensor
• Accurately senses the movement of ferrous metal targets
• Offers excellent low-speed performances
• Suited for camshaft and crankshaft position sensing or transmission speed sensing

1.5Q Gear-Tooth Sensor

• An environmentally protected Hall-effect gear-tooth sensor
• Accurately senses the absence/presence of moving ferrous metal targets
• The adaptive threshold algorithm makes it ideal for camshaft or crankshaft positioning that requires extreme accuracy

Position Sensors for Comfort, Convenience and Motor Control Applications

For steering applications and driver comfort features (like sunroof and window control, steering and seat adjustment, lumbar support, and mirror motor control), solid state position sensors provide reliable performance while enhancing vehicle features.
