Heavy vehicles—from mining trucks and excavators to construction machinery and transport fleets—face extreme conditions every day. To ensure safety, efficiency, and long service life, displacement sensors for heavy vehicles are becoming an essential technology.
The Challenges of Monitoring Heavy Vehicles
Heavy-duty vehicles operate under intense mechanical stress, carrying heavy loads, navigating uneven terrain, and enduring constant vibration. Traditional monitoring solutions are often too fragile, complex, or high-maintenance to withstand these environments. This makes it difficult for operators to predict failures or optimize performance.
Why Solid-State DS Sensors Are Ideal for Heavy Vehicles
ElastiSense DS Sensors provide a robust, solid-state solution that is specifically designed to perform in harsh environments. With no moving parts, they are more durable, reliable, and easier to integrate than traditional technologies like LVDTs.
Key benefits include:
-
Load monitoring – Track stress on suspension systems and frames to avoid overload.
-
Suspension displacement measurement – Improve stability and performance while reducing wear.
-
Vibration resistance – Accurate data even under constant shaking and shocks.
-
Low maintenance – Solid-state design means reduced downtime and repair costs.
Applications in Mining, Construction, and Transport
-
Mining trucks – Monitor frame displacement and suspension under massive payloads.
-
Construction machinery – Ensure excavators, bulldozers, and cranes remain stable and safe.
-
Transport fleets – Improve reliability and reduce breakdowns in logistics and heavy haulage.
How Displacement Sensors Extend Vehicle Lifespan
By providing real-time, actionable data, DS Sensors allow operators to adopt predictive maintenance strategies. Instead of reacting to breakdowns, fleet managers can schedule repairs before small issues become major problems—saving both time and money while improving safety.
ElastiSense – Driving Innovation in Heavy Vehicle Monitoring
With proven durability and plug-and-play functionality, ElastiSense displacement sensors are helping industries worldwide keep their vehicles running longer, safer, and smarter.
