NEW 'LOW-NOISE', 'LONG-LIFE' LINEAR SENSORS FOR MOTORSPORT

1st December 2009

Active Sensors Motorsports have introduced their latest position sensor innovation, the Motorsport Linear Sensor (MLS) ‘super’ low-noise linear potentiometer designed for suspension measurement in motorsport data acquisition systems. The new ‘long-life’ sensor, which is being launched at the PRI Show in Orlando, ensures a longer ‘noise-free’ operating life in severe vibration and high G-force conditions. The MLS sensor, developed in partnership with racecar data engineers utilises the latest potentiometer 'smooth track' technology coupled with 'double-damped' electrical contacts, that creates a shock-pot with exceptional immunity to the electrical noise often seen in standard potentiometer designs. The MLS ‘low-noise’ sensor is now in stock and available in three ‘slim’ housing diameters and linear measurement ranges from 0.4” (10mm) to 14” (350mm).

Active Sensors will also be showcasing their range of linear and rotary sensors designed to measure throttle and gear position, clutch actuation, steering angle, speed and much more...
