Our Motorsport solutions
Safety, environmental concerns, regulatory changes and technological advancements mean the motorsport industry is continuously evolving to address these challenges and ensure its continued success and growth. At the heart of motorsport are sensors for data collection, performance monitoring, driver feedback, safety, fuel efficiency, aerodynamics and many more crucial reasons. It is vital that these sensors offer a high level of reliability and endurance and are protected against the high vibration, shock and high temperatures found in motorsport applications.
Types of Sensors supplied for Motorsport
Whether it’s Formula 1, MotoGP, endurance racing, rallying or drag racing, we design, manufacture and supply sensors, switches and motion control systems for many applications in the motorsport sector.
This includes speed, throttle position, suspension and temperature sensors, emergency and kill switches and traction and steering assist systems. All of these contribute to precision driving, enhanced vehicle control and competitive advantage. The data collected enables real-time adjustments, enabling teams to fine-tune strategies, optimise performance and ensure driver safety.
Example applications
Pressure sensors are used to
monitor and control oil pressure
within the gearbox system.
Temperature probes provide
continuous overheat surveillance
to protect the gearbox.
A gear tooth sensor tracks RPM
directly on the gearbox
for precise performance data.
Throttle position is measured with
Hall effect rotary sensors to
regulate fuel injection.
Hall effect rotary sensors deliver
position feedback from the
sequential gearbox to
identify the current gear.
Handbrake position is
monitored using Hall effect
rotary sensors for accurate
driver input feedback.
