Sensors for Rail Applications
Learn how TE Connectivity (TE) rail sensors measure the properties to improve performance, maintenance, and comfort in rail applications.
TE Connectivity (TE) manufactures sensors for rail applications. Sensors can be installed in various systems and applications, requiring packaging to either retrofit existing systems exposed to harsh environmental and EMC conditions or for compact, embedded sensors in new systems. TE sensors are available to measure various properties including, but not limited to, speed, position, vibration, pressure, and liquid level. With a global footprint and support network ready, learn how our technologies support the rail industry.
Vibration Sensors
Accelerometers are designed and manufactured as embedded, board mounted sensors as well as fully packaged assemblies to monitor acceleration and vibration in various applications.
Pressure Sensors
Pressure transducers are designed for hydraulic and pneumatic rail applications including brake controls and HVAC systems.
Humidity Sensors
Humidity temperature sensors are designed to enable more efficiency in HVAC systems and greater comfort for passengers. Humidity temperature sensors are designed with analog and digital output signals, with both properties measured from a single package.
Position Sensors
Position sensors are available for a variety of rail applications for linear and angular position measurement. From board mounted components to fully packaged transducer, TE manufactures various sensors to measure position.
Temperature Sensors
Temperature sensors are designed for various systems. Fully packaged RTD probes can be used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Thermopiles, thermocouples, NTC thermistors, RTD elements, and digital sensors can be designed into various control systems.
Level Sensors
Our ultrasonic sensors measure liquid level despite variations in transparency, viscosity, color or dielectric. These solutions include air bubble detection for medical pumps; point and continuous level sensors for the semiconductor and high purity markets; and point level sensors for a variety of process control applications.
Learn how TE Connectivity (TE) rail speed sensors are being used to upgrade control systems for safer, more efficient train operations.

DSD 25 Series 3 & 4 Channel Hall Effect Speed Sensor for Rail
The reduction of costs and weight of rolling stock, and the upgrade of train control systems to allow increased train density in saturated lines are two trends in rail. Multi-channel Hall speed sensors address these challenges without the addition of weight and costs related to additional sensors. One sensor with two galvanically separated output stages provides reduced weight, less installation time and greater value.

Learn how using just one multi-channel Hall speed sensor instead of two discrete sensors will reduce hardware costs and installation time during change over. TE is one of the few suppliers who can offer speed sensors with differential Hall effect elements with 4 channels containing 8 Hall elements in total.
Urban areas are facing increased public transportation needs due to several global trends. The environmental impact of public transportation is lower than motorway commute, which drives governments to invest in and stimulate the use of public transportation. Learn how TE is addressing these demands in rail.
