Automotive
MTC ElectroCeramics provides a wide range of piezoelectric components and solutions for the automotive industry, from transducers and actuators for sophisticated high performance in-vehicle sensing systems to capacitors for advanced manufacturing technologies. Working closely with customers we are helping to improve vehicle safety, performance, energy efficiency and comfort.
Piezoelectric ceramic components and transducers are ideal for numerous sensing applications, including parking aids, alarm systems, accelerometers, airbag sensors, wheel balancing, engine knock sensors, (fuel) level sensors, ignition systems and emission monitoring. Our piezoelectric bimorphs are used in the latest tyre pressure monitoring systems and capacitors and voltage multiplier assemblies can be found in modern electrostatic paint spraying processes.
As the automotive industry continues to advance and smarter cars are developed, piezoelectric sensors, transducers and actuators are playing an increasingly important role as the critical input/output devices for many electronic systems. Our piezoceramic components are highly versatile, durable and stable even in difficult operating conditions, making them ideal for use in custom vehicle sensor and transducer systems. Our sensor design expertise makes us an ideal partner during design and early production stages.
With our world-class design expertise and specialist manufacturing capabilities we work in partnership with our automotive customers to develop competitive tailored solutions to meet their needs. We produce ceramic components, sensors and transducers within tight specifications, in quantities from one-offs to high quality, cost-effective, high volume production. We directly supply to many customers in high performance race automotive applications, as well as other tier one automotive suppliers.
