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
- Rotary sensor for handbrake position feedback
- Linear potentiometers for suspension control, providing precise, quantifiable data that assists motorsport teams in making informed decisions about suspension tuning and setup
- Linear position sensors to measure the distance between specific points on the vehicle's chassis and the ground, providing data on ride height
- Gear shift sensors for precise and rapid feedback to drivers and engineers during gear changes.
- Multi-axis motion control system for Driver-in-the-Loop simulator
