Whether you are designing a battery for a new automotive EV design, industrial or consumer electronics, or any innovative battery product in this rapidly accelerating space, you have the same engineering goals: Performance, Lifespan, and Safety. The charge and discharge cycles of lithium-ion...

Evaluate Engine Gaskets With Pressure Distribution Challenge An important factor in maximizing the efficiency of an engine is making sure the combustion opening is properly sealed through the entire combustion cycle. Decisions need to be made about the block and head structure, fasteners, lubricants...

Battery formation is a pivotal stage in the manufacture of batteries, determining their performance and longevity. This process involves the initial electrochemical transformation of raw materials, shaping the battery's efficiency and stability. Through controlled charge and discharge cycles, the...

Enhance Automotive Product Design with Pressure Mapping Hover over the icons on the images shown below to learn about our diverse array of automotive pressure mapping applications. Tekscan's tactile pressure and force systems measure the interface pressures between two mating surfaces, and are used...

Steering Wheel Ergonomic Tests Using the Grip™ System Challenge While it is often a key feature in the purchase decision of an automobile, driver comfort can be a difficult aspect to test and measure. Most vehicles today are manufactured with instrumented steering wheels that include several buttons...

Automotive Door Pressure Wind, noise, and water leaks in a new vehicle can be a significant source of customer dissatisfaction, create a perception of poor quality, and cause warranty expenses. Proper adjustment of hinges and door latches while the car is in the factory and the doors are being...

Evaluate Coil Spring Pressure Distribution Engineers can take many approaches to designing coil springs. Some designers will clip the end of the spring "square"; creating a small high-pressure point at the end of the spring that transfers load eccentrically. Other designers bend the last coil to be...

High Speed Impact Testing Using Pressure Distribution The I-Scan™ force and pressure mapping system can be used in crash test dummy studies to capture the dynamic pressure and impact force that are exerted during an impact. I-Scan can identify the temporal, local, peak, and spatial pressures of two...

Windshield Wiper Pressure & Force Measurement Designing a windshield wiper system that effectively cleans a windshield is not an easy task given the constraints. The combination of different blade lengths, durometers, low and uneven pressures, and varying windshield contours combine to make this a...

Improve Seat Belt Design & Comfort With Pressure Measurement Challenge Seat belts are a very important safety device in a vehicle but ineffective if not worn properly. Studies of why people don’t use their seat belts highlight comfort as a critical factor. Solution The I-Scan™ pressure and force...
