Comprehensive range of sensors from Bosch
Increasing original-equipment figures – growing replacement
demand
Even compact vehicle models are currently fitted with more than
50 individual sensors. With the exception of the Lambda sensor the
majority are not subject to wear, but accidents or other influences
may cause damage.
As the leading supplier of original-equipment automobile sensors,
Bosch can also offer the most comprehensive aftermarket range in
this sector. Suitable replacement parts can be found for nearly all
repair applications. In addition, Bosch provides workshops with the
essential electronic diagnosis techniques for the identification of
defective sensors.
The Bosch sensor range comprises several hundred different types.
The types of sensor based on ultra-modern micro electromechani-
cal systems (MEMS) span a field of applications including pressure,
acceleration and yaw-rate detection. The wide range of conventional
measuring elements available extends from speed sensors and
hot-film air-mass meters or Lambda sensors right through to sensors
for automatic air-conditioning systems.
