Sensata Technologies’ Capacitive Acceleration Sensor (CAS) is a very reliablesolid state device. It is backed by years of production experience and designed to measure acceleration or tilt angles. CAS shares its packaging design, its sensing technology and its signal conditioning electronics with the ceramic capacitive pressure transducer, whereas acceleration or tilt changes the capacitance of the capacitive sensing element. CAS is tailored for assembly concepts that employ low-cost, high-quality assembly approaches. The sensor qualifies for interior, under-hood or chassis mountings. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:
•Vehicle stability/Tilt angle control•Smart suspension and brakingsystems•Traction control systems•Rough road detection•Inclination sensing•Shock (impact) detection and loggingat rental/lease equipment Sensata’s CAS products provideenhanced stability and control in cornering and severe handlingmanoeuvres of Off road vehicles. Thus, they improve riding comfort,safety and vehicle agility.
