Valve lift sensor

Controlling the valves of combustion engines using electromagnetic actuators is a current objective of many engine developers. This technology makes possible potential fuel consumption savings of 8% - 9%. Sensors for checking the movement are necessary in the course of electromagnetic valve control. The valve lift sensor of the VIP series makes this possible without contact, with high resolution, linearity and excellent temperature stability. The sensor operates without permanent magnets and is thus not influenced by neighbouring devices or components.
