Enhance Automotive Product Design with Pressure Mapping

Hover over the icons on the images shown below to learn about our diverse array of automotive pressure mapping applications.

Tekscan's tactile pressure and force systems measure the interface pressures between two mating surfaces, and are used throughout the automotive industry to assist engineers with test and measurement, research and development, and quality control applications.

Pressure distribution between a brake pad and rotor

Tekscan's patented sensor technology can assist with automotive seat comfort studies, measuring brake pad pressure distribution, tire tread patterns, wiper blade force profiles, and much more.

• Map interface pressure
  • Provides key information including total force, peak pressures, and center of force
• A better understanding of surface behavior
  • Design validation - verify structural integrity of lighter, fuel efficient, cost saving components
• Application specific sensors and software analysis tools:
  • Tire, wiper, door seal, impact, engine gasket, brake, seat, and ergonomics
• Research & design, quality control, and manufacturing tool
  • Improve yields
  • Identify failure modes
  • Reduce downtime
  • Assist in machine set-up
  • Vendor validation
  • FEA validation
