How camshaft and crankshaft sensors work

Features and benefits

Variety of sizes and designs available, across inductive and semiconductor types.
Excellent reliability, with simple and problem-free connections and high temperature resistance.
Guaranteed first-time fit and superior performance.
The DENSO name is associated with high quality and low return rates.

Multiple use cases covered
With a wide range of MPU and MRE-type sensors available, there are DENSO sensors available to fit every need, from high precision to high temperature resistance.
Smaller and easier
Sensors are built to be compact, integrating multiple parts on one chip. They also offer seamless packaging and solder-free connections for ease of installation.
Built to last
A thin but strong body with a smaller air gap means DENSO sensors retain excellent durability. They are designed to minimise faults and returns.

Types and characteristics

DENSO offers two main types of sensor, across both crankshaft sensor and camshaft sensor functions.

Camshaft and crankshaft sensors types

MPU sensor (inductive type)

MRE sensor (semiconductor type)

Characteristics

Installation and fault finding
