As
a leader in precision position sensors in several
automotive applications, BEI Duncan Electronics
is poised to answer unique potentiometric and
related technologies using both electronic and
mechanical disciplines to achieve reliable, accurate
and long lasting devices.
Duncan
holds a leading position in the provision of steering
sensors for today's leading automotive brands
worldwide and pioneered the throttle position
sensor. Dozens of other innovative solutions will
find Duncan sensors in remote mirrors, automatic
transmission controls, climate control and twilight
sentinel systems.

| Early
Design Partnerships |
| Industry's
leading engineers and automotive designers depend on BEI
Duncan support for fast, accurate and cost-effective solutions.
Advanced engineering designs can be simulated quickly
in CAD to help determine the fewest components and space-conscious
packaging direction required. BEI Duncan engineers are
well versed, ready to respond immediately to design considerations
or to create an innovative solution in days vs. weeks
or months. This means quicker product solutions and faster-to-market
capabilities for low-cost, robust quality products. |

| Steering
Sensors |
 Duncan sensors are a vital
part of the Cadillac StabiliTRAK dynamic chassis control
system. An analog, or voltage-based output determines
steering wheel position, using an integral gear train
and thick film resistive sensor design. Digital output
is also achieved via an integral Opto-ASIC encoder, all
in the same compact sensor unit.
|
 Precision
steering sensing in one degree increments provides the
signal to microprocessors to detect and correct deviations
between intended course and the actual course of the vehicle.
This sensor is an excellent example of Duncan's match
to the stringent manufacturing and reliability standards
such a device requires for driver safety.

Duncan's experience in multi-function potentiometric
devices, modules And other packaging solutions
for demanding environmental and harsh factory
or field applications make the module or panel
control an ideal solution.

3-way gear reduction seat sensor. |
| Duncan's memory seat sensors lead the industry in
offering passenger comfort and safety. Compact
housings mate with motor drives. Gear-reduction
design provides a direct link between sensor wiper
and motor drive shaft. Several working in tandem
can be linked with one another on such areas as
head rests, seat belts and foot pedals, providing
vital data that will enable on-board computers to
instruct these and other controls to complete tasks
smoothly, accurately. |

| Sensor
Panel Control |
| By locating several sensors and other components,
displays or interconnections into a compact,
fit-to-form module, time and costs can be
significantly reduced, while providing an
innovative solution for new applications.
Ideal use areas include heavy equipment, automotive,
industrial controls and avionics. Human
factors of fingertip convenience and response
to otherwise critical operator functions can
be enhanced. |
