The industry benchmark in M8 (uncooled) thermodynamic analysis sensors. This robust AVL sensor features the convenient installation of M8 thread-type sensors. This is combined with the high accuracy and durability that is required of such a precise piezoelectric combustion sensor.
Size M3.5 sensor for mounting bores where access is an issue. The GH01D is the industry benchmark sensor for mounting bores where access is an issue. Its small size includes a range of robust and accurate features that make this a versatile and dynamic combustion analysis solution.
The industry benchmark in size M5 for thermodynamic analysis with smallest contour. The piezoelectric elements of this combustion sensor are decoupled from negative influences of the mechanical stresses caused by its mounting in the engine.
The industry benchmark in size M5 for R&D with the smallest contour. With its M3 cable connector, the AVL sensor GH15DK has a slim form factor and is ideal for supercharged engines with a high specific output.
The industry benchmark in size M5 for thermodynamic and knock analysis with smallest contour. The operating temperature has increased to 500’C which makes the sensor ideal for H2 combustion analysis.
The industry benchmark in size M5 for R&D with maximal robustness. Its M3 cable connector enables a slim form factor in this M5-size indicating sensor, which is ideal for supercharged engines with high knock events.
In combination with a glow-plug adaptor this is a nearly flush mounted solution for diesel engines. This M5-size combustion pressure sensor features an M3 connector to allow the smallest installation tool clearance diameters. Furthermore, its dimensions can be tailored to meet the requirements of the customer.
The industry benchmark in size M5 for R&D in glow plug adaptors. This piezoelectric combustion sensor is the leading sensor for research and development tasks, and it can be used in combination with glow plug adaptors in diesel engines.
The industry benchmark in size M8 and M10 for R&D in small glow plug bores. It is a glow-plug sensor for diesel applications where the cylinder head design requires glow-plug diameters down to 4.3 mm. With its improved membrane, this indicating sensor is practically flush mounted, which leads to high signal quality without pipe oscillations.
The industry benchmark in size 6.2 mm for thermodynamic analysis. Based on a well-established, highly accurate concept, this thermodynamic analysis sensor includes thermally optimized piezoelectric elements that are not influenced by their mounting bores.
The industry benchmark for 6.2 mm sensors for R&D. Thanks to minimized mechanical contact between the mounting bore and the sensor housing, there is no influence from the mounting bore on the pressure signal.
The industry benchmark in M7 thermodynamic analysis sensors. This sensor is a precise thermodynamic measurement solution for when a smaller thread diameter than M8 is required. Its split mounting thread reduces negative influences such as mechanical stresses from the mounting bore.
Highlights
Everything that excels at a glance: AVL highlights you shouldn't miss.
WEBINAR - The physical and chemical processes within the combustion engine chamber are challenging researchers. Due to ever more stringent legislation, minor details play a major role, and understanding sensor behaviour is becoming critical: knowing the sensor itself is essential for accuracy and for interpreting results.
WEBINAR - The core of our solution to handle module tests as well as the analysis of entire powertrains in a lab, on test beds, chassis dynos and even on the road, is a diagnostics platform system: small, dedicated sensor – recorder units combine into multichannel recorders and data interfaces.
