Kavlico Develops Urea Dosing Sensors for Heavy Duty Truck Applications

Kavlico's new sensor for urea-air dosing is now available! This sensor utilizes (AUS32) Aqueous Urea Solution 32.5% or AdBlue™ in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) after-treatment systems with diesel engines. The sensor generates an output used to provide feedback to the SCR system to assist in optimizing the reduction of NOx emissions by monitoring the SCR system and helping to determine the appropriate amount of AdBlue reducing agent to be delivered to the catalytic converter module.

Kavlico Unveils a New Pilot Control Device

Kavlico's Speed Brake lever meets the small envelope, minimum weight, and high reliability demand in today's aerospace industry. This pilot control device may be supplied with either a 3 or 4 channel RVDT depending upon the application-specific requirement. With only one lever detent in the stow position, the elimination of position detents allows for smooth motion with sufficient friction to prevent lever creep during operational vibration conditions.
