LINEAR POSITION SENSORS

Most commonly used as shock travel sensors, the Linear Position Sensors can also be used to measure gearbox shaft position, differential angle, or in any application that requires linear position data. In short, these simple sensors can make your ride not just faster but also more predictable.

Used as shock travel sensors, Haltech’s Linear Position Sensors can measure and log the speed and distance of your shock’s compression, extension, rebound, etc. to give you an accurate picture of how the vehicle reacts to the track surface and changes. They remove the guesswork out of chassis tuning. Armed with this information, you can significantly cut down on testing and adjusting, saving not just time but wear and tear on your vehicle.

HOW DO THEY WORK?

A linear potentiometer includes a slider that moves in both directions, proportionally dividing the applied voltage over its operational range thus creating a voltage output based on the position of the slider.

This voltage signal is then received by the ECU and interpreted as “travel” measured in inches or millimeters. As well as travel we can also monitor the speed of compression and extension of the slider.

LINEAR POSITION SENSOR RANGE

Haltech Linear Position Sensors are available in two diameters – 1/2″ and 1″ with each diameter offering different lengths (see table below). Each sensor comes complete with a 450mm Terminated lead (Terminated with DTM 3 Receptacle) and an opposing DTM 3 Connector with pins seals and wedge.
