Enhance Automotive Product Design with Pressure Mapping
Tekscan's tactile pressure and force systems measure the interface pressures between two mating surfaces, and are used throughout the automotive industry to assist engineers with test and measurement, research and development, and quality control applications.
Pressure distribution between a brake pad and rotor
Tekscan's patented sensor technology can assist with automotive seat comfort studies, measuring brake pad pressure distribution, tire tread patterns, wiper blade force profiles, and much more.
