Application description :

The vehicle level sensors is used in different automotive control system, monitoring by European regulation: Headlight levelling control:

This system guaranty that the vehicle doesn’t dazzle others users on the road.

It also guaranty that the lighting range is always maintained.

Active suspension control:

• Comfort and safety : maintain chassis stability and vehicle height constant.
• Safety and fun to drive : adapt suspension performances to road and drive conditions, and allow the driver to select modes (sport, comfort).
• Load monitoring: For safety purpose the system monitor the vehicle load and balancing. The sensor body is fixed on the chassis, and a rotational lever is attached on the wheel arm of the vehicle with a rod. This lever angle depends (and then the angle information provided by the sensor) on the angle of the wheel arm.

Technical characteristics :

• High sealing feature: Fully over molded design Optimized design for harsh environment (under chassis) Resist to splashed water, gravelling, dust ingression, stones shocks
• Lean design for cost optimization
• Specific rod concept for adjusted and uneven plug and unplug effort
• Flexible product portfolio: customized chassis bracket design, rod length and angle
• High accuracy measurement
• Flexible output protocol
• Possible measurement redundancy, or output doubling for high level safety goals
• Temperature range: -40°C / 160°C
