Components (Senders & Sensors)

Maxima's components are perfectly “matched” with our instruments, and they're ideal for "severe-duty" environments.

COMPLETE LINE OF COMPONENTS
Maxima is unique in that we produce components such fuel senders and sensors, pressure senders, temperature senders and speed sensors that complement and match our instrumenhts. Our senders and sensors, for example, are well-regarded in the on- and off-highway markets, and are also popular for industrial, specialty vehicle and marine applications.

FUEL SENDERS AND SENSORS
Stewart Warner brand fuel-level senders set the standard in the heavy-duty market. We offer a full-line of fixed and adjustable units available in popular electrical “matches” including Stewart Warner’s and Datcon’s 240-33.5 ohms, as well as 10-180, 0-90, 10-73 and 327-8 ohms (for European applications). Adjustable units are 6”-24”.

Custom lengths, flanges, pick-up and return tubes, calibrations and floats are available.

Featured Product: ADJUSTABLE FUEL SENDER
As depicted in the diagram, each adjustable fuel sender provides 2 positions from which to align the unit with the tank’s bolt pattern (meaning, each unit accommodates 90° of rotation). This makes installation easier, and ensures the best fit.

New Product: NON-CONTACT FUEL LEVEL SENDER (NCFLS)
Our new Stewart Warner Non-Contact Fuel-Level Sender (NCFLS) features a proprietary mechanism designed to last millions of cycles even when exposed to hot and contaminated fuel—a MUST given the fact that Tier 3/Stage IV engines heat fuel to more than 210°F, enough to literally
burn up conventional fuel senders.  (NCFLS PDF coming soon.)

Featured Product: INTELLISENSOR® FUEL SENSOR
IntelliSensor® provides a patented electronic solution for fuel level
and volume measurement.

  • Volumetric measurement capability—calibrated to specific tank design
  • Slosh-proof design ensures desired performance even if vehicle suddenly stops or starts, if it's operating on a severe angle, or subjected to severe shock and vibration
  • Can be installed on an angle up to 30°—typical float-arm and reed-switch senders won’t work
  • Operates effectively even if used in vehicle that sits idly in storage (for example, in a military vehicle) thanks to its corrosion-proof, fully sealed design
  • Flags excess water in tank once water exceeds 5% of content—instrument cluster/gauge pointer pins full as indication of failure mode
Key Feature: NO MOVING PARTS—NOTHING TO WEAR OUT

PRESSURE SENDERS
Datcon, Stewart Warner and AST oil pressure senders are available in standard pressure ranges from 40-400 psi. Electrical “matches” for North America include 240-33.5, 0-90 and 76-10 ohms.  Highlights include:

  • Datcon regular-, heavy- and “severe-duty” units (80, 100, 125 and 150 psi)—ideal for gas or diesel engine applications subjected to high shock and continuous vibration
  • Stewart Warner oil pressure senders use thick-film technology for superior durability and reliability
  • Dual-station units available—drive two gauges
  • Military-spec units available—reference MS24539-1.
  • Metric threads for Datcon, Stewart Warner and AST units
New Product: 30 PSI FUEL PRESSURE SENDER
Our newest pressure sender is a 30 psi fuel pressure sender designed to match new Stewart Warner Competition and Impact™ fuel pressure gauges. This combination provides the ultimate solution in high-peformance fuel pressure monitoring that is a truly cost-effective alternative to using a transducer. Click here to download flyer.

TEMPERATURE SENDERS
Competitively priced standard Datcon, Stewart Warner and AST temperature senders provide English and metric threads. Datcon units are available in Datcon “high” and “low” range matches.  Range is 100-350°F.
  • Universal sender kits, with adapters
  • Thermally isolated units available for Datcon brand
  • Dual-station units—drive two gauges
  • AST units with surface type contact thread
SPEED SENSORS
Wide range of speed sensors includes magnetic sensors, pulse (tach) generators, and hall-effect sensors. Drive tangs available.

Featured Product: DATCON MAGNETIC SENSORS
Datcon brand magnetic sensors provide a non-contact design using variable reluctance technology. Features:

  • Sealed bobbin construction
  • Anodized aluminum body
  • Wide operating temperature range: -40°C to 130°C
  • Numerous connections available, including flying leads and popular connectors in male and female configurations
  • Dual output unit for driving multiple instruments
  • Mechanically sound locking screw mechanism survives high shock & vibration
  • Tested tough—ideal for use in off-highway vehicle applications
