SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Board of Directors of BEI

quarterly dividend.

The dividend of one cent per share was declared effective August 17, 2004, and

BEI Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "Technologies") is an established
manufacturer of electronic sensors, motors, actuators, optical encoders and
motion control products used for factory and office automation, medical
equipment, military, aviation and space systems.  In addition, sales to
manufacturers of transportation equipment including automobiles, trucks and
off-road equipment have become a significant addition to the Company's business
in recent years. The Company's micromachined quartz rate sensors are being used
in advanced vehicle stability control systems and a significant increase in the
production of those sensors had been in progress from the middle of 1998 to FY
2004 except for a decrease in production in fiscal 2002 due to increased
competition.  The Company is currently transitioning to its next generation of
automotive inertial quartz based sensor products, remotely mounted multi-sensor
clusters with CAN Bus and a multi rate sensor package suitable for
incorporation into electronic systems modules.  The Company also manufactures
electronic steering wheel position sensors, seat-memory modules, throttle
position sensors, pressure sensors, and other devices used in transportation
systems.
