Sensors represent the interface between mechanics and electronics of an automobile. KUHNKE Automotive has comprehensive experience in this field. Our sensor systems are especially tailored to the high requirements of mobile applications. They correspond to the highest quality standards and conform to the special requirements of the automotive industry.

Our strength is the development of customized solutions. The application range includes such diverse solutions, as electro-pneumatic circuits, gearbox status sensing systems and level control of commercial vehicles. We also constantly develop new applications that are enabled by sophisticated sensor technology.

The product range of KUHNKE Automotive includes the following sensor technologies:

  • Active rotary position sensors
  • Active linear sensors
  • Passive inductive rotary position sensors
  • Passive inductive linear sensors
  • Level control sensors

On the basis of these technologies we develop innovative solutions according to customer-specific requirements profiles.

 

Active rotary position sensors

Active rotary position sensors from KUHNKE are able to sense angles between 0° and 360°. They can be programmed to match any specific application.

Active linear sensors

Active linear sensors from KUHNKE are available for detection ranges between 20 and 100 mm. Various electrical interfaces allow easy connection to the related control unit.

Passive rotary position sensors

One typical application of passive rotary position sensors is their use as sensing element for vehicle level control. Their highly robust design allows the use even under adverse operating conditions.

Passive linear sensors

Passive inductive linear sensors are used to monitor the operating condition of transmissions and clutches. They are able to detect distances between 20 mm and 100 mm.

Fluid level detection

KUHNKE sensors for fluid level detection are based upon optical measuring technology. They are encapsulated and therefore completely separated from the fluid to be measured.
