01 - Steering Wheel Sensor Introduction

Introduction 

The RACELOGIC Steering Wheel Sensor is designed to accurately measure a vehicle’s steering angle or torque in tests such as ECE R79, ISO 4138 and ISO 7401. It has a CAN and an analogue interface, which means you can connect the sensor directly to VBOX 3i or another data logger.

The sensor is light and compact, with high dynamic response and a fine resolution of steer angle (0.1°). Easy access push buttons make it quick and simple to zero the steer angle and torque, once mounting is complete.

Existing steering wheel functions, such as vehicle control elements, will not be affected when using the Steering Wheel Sensor. A universal steering wheel adapter is also included, making it quick and easy to mount to any vehicle, without having to remove the actual steering wheel.
