? Ge specialises in the manufacture of speedometers for 2-wheelers
and a wide range of hour meters, ampere meters, pressure and
temperature gauges for the oe as well as replacement markets having
oe reputed customers like auto manufacturers such as lml, punjab
tractors ltd, scooters india, kinetic engineering, hero motors and
sooraj automobiles. The speedometers are mechanical type
instruments and work on the principle of eddy current generated by
a rotating permanent magnet. These are available in a wide range of
gear ratios to suit most 2, 3 and 4-wheelers and are manufactured
in two basic types-japanese type for trucks, cars, 3-wheelers,
scooters and motor-cycles and the light-duty moped type for mopeds,
cycles and exercising machines. Pressure gauges (mechanical) use a
bourdon tube as the sensing element and gear and-sector mechanism
for pointer movement. Tubing from the engine transmits the pressure
and temperature gauges are bourdon tube vapour-pressure type and
use a copper capillary tube to transmit vapour pressure from the
sensor to the gauge. The capillary is protected from damage by a
copper/steel wire braiding. Ampere meters indicate the battery
charging/drain current and are moving-magnet type. Ge uses a disc
magnet in ammeters which makes them very sensitive and accurate and
are available in 52 and 60 mm outer case diameters and ranges of
30, 50 and 80 amps. The company has sophisticated production,
assembly and testing facilities for in-house production of all
critical and high precision component
