Doran Manufacturing introduced a new tire pressure sensor designed for OTR tire applications in mines, quarries and off-road construction during a TPMS panel discussion at the Tire Industry Association’s OTR Tire Conference.The OTR tire pressure sensor includes a patent pending, seal design with a built-in filter to protect internal sensor components from rim conditioners and other liquids present in most OTR tires. The seal design with brass housing provides consistent valve core depression and temperature resistant seals.
A high performance lithium-ion battery is also included for enhanced tolerance to temperature extremes and to provide reliable RF signal transmission for an extended period of time.
In addition to the true innovation in the seal design, the Doran OTR tire pressure sensor incorporates a high-impact nylon housing with a spin-welded cap and proprietary potting material, which encapsulates and protects the internal components from vibration, impact and extreme temperature changes.
The OTR tire pressure sensor also provides the capability to be scanned with the Doran SmartLink hand tool to provide digital pressure and temperature data during walk-around tire inspections.
