Crankcase Pressure Sensor Series for Cummins, Volvo, CAT & Detroit Diesel Engines
Product Overview
This crankcase pressure sensor series is engineered as a multi-platform OEM-compatible solution for heavy-duty diesel engines across leading global brands.
Instead of a single replacement part, this product family covers a wide range of OEM part numbers and engine applications, enabling fleet-wide standardization of crankcase pressure monitoring systems.
The sensors are designed to provide accurate real-time measurement of crankcase pressure (blow-by gas pressure), ensuring proper operation of the PCV system, oil mist separation efficiency, and engine emissions control compliance (EPA / Euro VI).
This series is widely used in mixed fleets including Cummins, Volvo/Mack, Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel, Paccar, and industrial diesel generator systems.
