Automotive position sensing supports motion, angle, speed, height, and displacement feedback across powertrain, chassis, braking, steering, suspension, and body-control systems. This category groups BST products and engineering information for teams comparing sensing functions, mechanical interfaces, electrical outputs, and validation needs. For wheel-end feedback used by ABS and stability systems, review our automotive wheel speed sensor guide.
Engine timing applications can begin with the BST crankshaft position sensor, while projects involving travel, height, or linear movement can review our displacement sensors. Selection should consider measurement range, resolution, air gap or linkage geometry, target material, response time, output signal, operating temperature, ingress protection, vibration, electromagnetic compatibility, connector design, and diagnostic behavior. The most suitable sensor is the one validated in the intended mounting geometry and control system, not simply the device with the highest standalone accuracy.
Wheel speed sensors are a key component in automotive ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), used to monitor wheel speed in real time to ensure that the wheels do not lock up during emergency braking, thus maintaining vehicle maneuverability and stability.

A displacement sensor is a sensor capable of measuring changes in the position or displacement of an object. Its core consists of a sensitive element and a conversion element. The sensitive element is responsible for sensing changes in the position of the object to be measured, while the conversion element converts these changes into electrical or other forms of signal output for subsequent processing and analysis.
