The GNOM DDE axle load pressure sensor. Firstly, it converts air suspension pressure into an electrical signal that represents axle load in real time. Therefore, fleet operators, vehicle manufacturers, and system integrators use the sensor to monitor loading conditions, protect vehicle components, and improve operational compliance.
Engineered for harsh mobile environments. Including heavy vehicles operating in mining, transport, agriculture, and infrastructure sectors. As a result, it provides stable measurement performance under vibration, temperature variation, and continuous duty cycles. The GNOM DDE integrates directly with vehicle telematics, onboard displays, or control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does the GNOM DDE measure axle load?
The GNOM DDE measures air pressure within the vehicle’s air suspension system. This pressure directly correlates to axle load. Therefore, the connected system calculates load values.
Is the GNOM DDE suitable for on-road and off-road vehicles?
Yes. Designed for tough mobile environments. It works well on on-road trucks and off-road vehicles. These vehicles are used in mining, agriculture, and industry.
Can it be used with existing telematics systems?
Yes. The GNOM DDE interfaces with telematics platforms, onboard displays, and vehicle control systems. However, output type and wiring configuration are model dependent and must be matched to the target system.
Does the sensor provide direct weight readings?
No. The sensor outputs pressure data. Consequently, the connected system calculates axle load or weight values using calibration parameters specific to the vehicle and suspension configuration.
Is calibration required after installation?
Yes. System-level calibration is required to ensure accurate axle load calculations. As a result, calibration procedures vary depending on vehicle type and suspension design.
What maintenance does the GNOM DDE require?
The sensor requires minimal maintenance. Nevertheless, periodic inspection of pneumatic connections and electrical wiring is recommended as part of standard vehicle maintenance practices.
Can the sensor be retrofitted to existing vehicles?
Yes. The GNOM DDE supports retrofit installations. However, the vehicle must have with air suspension and compatible electronic systems.
What environmental conditions can the sensor operate in?
The sensor operates continuously in environments subject to vibration, dust, moisture, and temperature variation. Consequently, it suits demanding heavy vehicle and off-highway applications.
