HELLA vehicle level sensor – reliability that sells
The HELLA vehicle level sensor is a compact and high-precision solution for angle and height measurement. Installed directly on the chassis, it reliably detects the vehicle's position and forms the basis for numerous safety and comfort-related systems – from automatic headlamp levelling to adaptive chassis functions. Thanks to contactless CIPOS® technology, proven OE expertise and constantly growing vehicle coverage, this sensor is a strong choice for wholesalers:
- OE know-how: Aftermarket – OE expertise also in the independent aftermarket
- CIPOS® technology (contactless and precise): Inductive angular position sensors for maximum measurement accuracy and durability
- Mechanical robustness: Vibration and temperature resistant
- Reliability during driving: Reliable function even under extreme conditions, e.g. humidity or frost
- Wide range of vehicles covered: ideal for optimising the product portfolio
Function
The system uses a PCB-based inductive angular position sensor and operates with high precision even under difficult conditions. It detects the exact position of the vehicle – for example via the position of chassis components – and supplies this information as input signals to the relevant control units (e.g. for chassis, shock absorbers, air suspension or ESP). There, the sensor signals are evaluated together with other input data in order to specifically control the respective actuators (e.g. valves, compressor, adjustable shock absorbers, active stabilisers). The sensor therefore forms an essential basis for the precise control of systems such as:
- Adaptive shock absorber control
- Active chassis systems (e.g. air suspension, levelling, roll control, ESP)
The sensor therefore makes a decisive contribution to driving comfort and safety.
Typical causes of failure
A defective vehicle level sensor can lead to faults in control systems and unsafe driving behaviour. Common causes of malfunctions are:
- No supply voltage or interrupted connecting cables
- Internal short circuits that cause faulty signals
- External mechanical damage
HELLA expertise
The HELLA vehicle level sensor impresses with its proven CIPOS® technology, which enables contactless and precise angle measurement. With an annual production volume of around 4 million sensors and many years of experience in original equipment, HELLA stands for the highest quality and reliability. The sensor is particularly robust against mechanical stress, vibrations and extreme temperatures – approved according to OEM specifications. Its reliability during driving ensures precise chassis control under all operating conditions. Thanks to the broad range of vehicles covered and the continuous expansion of the portfolio for the aftermarket, the sensor is the ideal choice for wholesalers.
