A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor is a crucial component in modern vehicles that helps ensure tire safety by monitoring the air pressure in each tire. It alerts the driver if any tire is underinflated, overinflated, or has a significant air pressure deviation, helping to prevent tire damage, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce the risk of accidents due to tire failure.

Direct TPMS:

-This system uses sensors mounted inside each tire to directly measure the air pressure. The sensors continuously transmit data to the vehicle's onboard computer or dashboard display.

-If the pressure drops below a certain threshold (typically around 25% below the recommended pressure), a warning light on the dashboard will turn on to alert the driver.

-Direct TPMS provides accurate real-time data for each individual tire.

Indirect TPMS:

-Instead of using individual sensors to measure tire pressure, indirect TPMS uses the vehicle's ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) or wheel-speed sensors to estimate tire pressure. It monitors differences in rotational speed between tires, as underinflated tires have a different circumference and rotate at a different speed than properly inflated tires.

-If it detects discrepancies, it will alert the driver. However, it doesn't give an exact pressure reading for each tire.

Functions and Benefits of TPMS:

-Safety: By keeping track of tire pressures, TPMS reduces the risk of tire blowouts, which can lead to accidents.

-Fuel Efficiency: Under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance, which can reduce fuel efficiency. TPMS helps maintain optimal tire pressure, improving gas mileage.

-Tire Longevity: Properly inflated tires wear evenly and last longer, saving you money on tire replacements.

-Environmental Impact: By helping improve fuel efficiency and tire longevity, TPMS indirectly contributes to reducing carbon emissions.

TPMS sensors are typically powered by batteries that can last for several years, but they may need to be replaced or reprogrammed when replacing tires or rotating them.

Our story began in the 1980's. Back then we were just trading in limited commercial vehicle parts with a single store in Mumbai. Herculean brand powered by MantraTek was established later in the 20's by a team of technocrats with sound knowledge and experience of a decade in development and marketing of Automotive Products. Company which is involved in the manufacturing, distributing, importing, exporting and marketing of various high quality auto components which are available throughout India and also in international markets. Today, we are privileged to connect with millions of customers (directly/indirectly) with exceptional products and a number of dealers across the country. The company has established itself as the preferred supplier for many automotive components worldwide.
