Automotive Pressure Sensors
Ceramic and silicon-MEMS elements delivering a continuous, ECU-ready signal across the full pressure range — not just a threshold.
Key Applications:
- EGR Pressure Sensing
- Engine Oil Pressure Transducer
- HVAC Pressure Sensing

Where continuous pressure measurement matters
Sensors are specified when the system needs the exact pressure value — for control loops, fuel mapping and live diagnostics.
EGR Pressure Sensing
Continuous differential and absolute pressure measurement across the Exhaust Gas Recirculation circuit for closed-loop emissions control.
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
Real-time intake manifold pressure feedback for fuel-injection mapping, boost control and load calculation in the ECU.
Engine Oil Pressure Transducer
Live oil-pressure reporting to the cluster and ECU for lubrication-health diagnostics and predictive warnings — not just a lamp.
Fuel Rail Pressure
High-resolution rail pressure sensing for direct-injection and common-rail systems to optimise combustion and cold-start.
HVAC System Pressure
Refrigerant high/low side pressure measurement for variable-displacement compressor control and cabin comfort.
Brake / ABS Pressure
Hydraulic line pressure feedback for ABS, ESC and brake-by-wire modulation in safety-critical loops.
Two sensing technologies, one specification
We build the sensing element in both ceramic thick-film and silicon MEMS — and select the right one for your media, pressure range and accuracy under the same PRS interface, output and housing options.

Pressure Sensor FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Engineering answers to the questions our customers ask most often.
A pressure sensor converts fluid or gas pressure into a continuous electrical signal for the ECU. A diaphragm flexes under pressure and a Wheatstone bridge converts that strain into a proportional 0.5–4.5 V ratiometric (or 4–20 mA) output. We build the sensing element in two technologies — ceramic thick-film and silicon MEMS — and select the right one for your media, range and accuracy.
