Sensors Designed for Unique Construction & Agricultural Equipment/Vehicle Applications

November 21, 2007

MOORPARK, Calif. – Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), a global business unit of Schneider Electric, is uniquely positioned to service this segment of the transportation market due to our long-standing heritage of providing a broad portfolio of sensors for pressure, position, inertia, and torque measurements. Our approach is to quickly adapt our wide-range of technologies and package them to fit each application-specific requirement. By leveraging our vast core of technologies, CST brings a robust set of products to market for cabin controls, steering, powertrain, and implement sensing systems.

Position Sensors – CST designs safety-critical components for redundant sensor systems, one example being our steer-by-wire sensors that are installed on tractors to improve operator control. Other CST position sensors are used in operator interface operations monitoring various vehicle functions. Hitch height, tilt, and draft height are also monitored and controlled by our heavy-duty, high performance designs.

Pressure Sensors – As with other vehicle applications, the need to operate in less-than-perfect environmental conditions is a must. CST pressure sensors are designed to perform in hostile conditions. The rugged construction is perfectly suited for accurate, reliable operation day-after-day. Whether measuring hydraulic fluid or engine oil pressure, the field-proven reliability of our sensors is unquestionable.
