Motorists and their passengers
rely on a high degree of safety –
and airbag manufacturers rely on
high-precision Mühlemann parts
Side-on collision is the second most common
type of car crash after head-on collision.
Side airbags gently cushion drivers and passengers,
protecting them against injury. For the airbag
to have enough time to act, the system has less than
five milliseconds to decide whether the impact is
severe enough to warrant releasing the airbag.
Mühlemann’s multi-functional part has an important
role in this process.
The sensor housing contains current
conductors and bushings that have been
extrusion-coated with thermoplastic
plastic. The unit is an important element
of Bosch’s PAS control system.
Volvo is synonymous with safety in the car
industry. It uses the Bosch system to control
the side airbags.
