Door Seal
Automotive Door SealDoor Seal
The Tactilus® Free Form door seal sensor system is designed to allow the user to collect pressure position and
magnitude data at discrete selected locations across a door seal. Proper placement and construction of seals has a
dramatic effect on wind noise, waterproofing, vibration and air quality. Tactilus® door seal sensors aid the engineer in
identifying interface pressures across any seal surface both statically, while the vehicle is stationary, as well as while
being driven.
Key features
The Tactilus® Free Form sensor system is a "user constructed" tactile surface pressure system that
provides unprecedented flexibility and ease of use.
- 16 Channel simultaneous data collection
- Sensors are disposable and very economical
"The free form philosophy is to empower the user to select the precise location where they require data collection
rather than the constrained "matrix" inherent in traditional fixed tactile surface sensors. Free Form was created to
maximize both data collection efficiency and value."
~ Jeffrey G. Stark, CEO
Unique to the industry, each Free Form sensor element is individually calibrated, sequentially serialized and quality
tested to ensure the highest repeatability and accuracy. In addition, our sensor assemblies feature ergonomic
and high quality Berg connectors, ensuring durable interconnection.
