Results for tag: "Automotive Knock Sensor"

The Automotive Knock Sensor is a type of automotive sensor used to detect engine knocking or pinging. It is typically mounted on the engine block and is connected to the engine control unit (ECU). The sensor detects vibrations caused by engine knocking and sends a signal to the ECU, which then adjusts the ignition timing to reduce the knocking. This helps to improve engine performance and fuel efficiency. The knock sensor is also used to detect pre-ignition, which can cause engine damage. The automotive knock sensor market is driven by the increasing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles and the need for improved engine performance. The growing demand for electric vehicles is also expected to drive the market. Some of the major companies in the automotive knock sensor market include Bosch, Continental, Denso, Delphi, Hitachi, Infineon, and NGK. Show Less Read more
