Schaeffler sensor detent detects neutral and reverse gear positions in engine stop-start systems

Precision bearing and automotive component manufacturer Schaeffler has developed a new highly integrated sensor system for detecting neutral and reverse gear positions in manual transmission systems. The system is currently available for use in advanced engine stop-start (ESS) systems.

Most first-generation neutral gear detection systems comprise an add-on sensor with a separate magnet fitted to three separate mounting positions. However, the new Schaeffler sensor detent requires no add-on components and is installed in just one mounting position. The highly integrated design of the sensor detent also means that the selector shaft and housing no longer require additional machining for mounting.

The sensor element reliably detects the selected drive position and sends this information to control units incorporated in the vehicle. The sensor detent is characterised by high component functional integration and is the result of continuous development of existing components to include new functions.

New demands

The electrification of engine drive trains for internal combustion engines; new advanced ESS systems; the development of hybrid electric vehicles; and the automation of vehicle systems, are placing new demands on manual transmission systems. Whereas the first generation of ESS systems are still based on traditional components, the next generation of ESS systems will be integrated in the vehicle
