This post is part of our ongoing series on spatial pressure and temperature mapping in electric vehicles. While earlier posts focus on battery packs, here we take a broader view across the vehicle. Battery packs dominate most conversations around spatial pressure and temperature mapping — and for...

Calibration matters: getting your temperature map right unlocks the full value of the system. Accurate temperature mapping depends on more than sensor resolution—it depends on calibration. In systems that measure pressure and temperature simultaneously, even small temperature offsets can influence...

Getting reliable data: how to separate signal from noise when measuring pressure + temperature. Spatial mapping of pressure and temperature is a powerful tool, but only if you trust the data. Real manufacturing and test environments bring noise: mechanical vibrations, thermal drift, sensor drift...

The edges of battery cells are often where the story begins. In battery manufacturing and module integration, one of the often-overlooked aspects is the edge region of a cell, where tabs, welds, adhesives, frames, or busbars join the cell body. In many failure cases or design optimizations...

In EV battery manufacturing, the pressure that individual cells experience inside a pack tells a powerful story. Some variation is both expected and benign: cells settle, tabs flex, thermal expansion occurs. But when early mechanical failure modes begin to emerge, such as gas-induced swelling...

Tekscan offers over 200 standard pressure mapping sensors, which can be a bit intimidating if you're just familiarizing yourself with our technology and its capabilities. Over time, however, we've noticed that certain of our sensor designs tend to lend themselves better to a broader range of general...

As battery technologies evolve to meet growing demands for electric vehicles, energy storage, and portable electronics, effective monitoring becomes crucial for improving performance and ensuring safety. Among the various aspects of battery monitoring, pressure measurement is often overlooked...

Testing experimental battery designs and chemical compositions is not without risk. Innovators in this field know that finding the sweet spot of performance, safety, and lifespan is a delicate balance. Optimizing charge and discharge cycles of a new electrochemical battery design is a true...

What is a pressure sensor? The term pressure sensor includes a wide variety of different mechanical devices for distinct kinds of pressure measurement. Most pressure sensors (commonly referred to as pressure transducers) often have a diaphragm interfacing with pipes or tubes to measure the pressure...

If you follow our blog, you may have seen our recent post about how pressure mapping complements force measurement in gait analysis. That post explains how Tekscan’s systems can enhance other gait lab equipment with additional data. Capturing something as complex as human movement or gait is...
