Liquid level and position sensors for motorsports applications
Liquid level and position sensors for motorsports applications
- Custom engine oil level senders for high temperature motorsports applications - For GT-class motorsport and high performance road applications, bespoke engine oil level senders are developed to meet exact installation and thermal requirements. Designed for use in race-prepared vehicles, these sensors operate reliably at elevated temperatures while maintaining measurement accuracy, supporting both performance optimisation and engine protection.
- High-accuracy rotary position sensors for performance transmissions - Precise measurement of gear selection, pedal position and suspension movement enables teams to extract maximum performance while maintaining vehicle control. Non-contact 360° rotary position sensors provide accurate shift position feedback for high performance transmission systems, including modern 6-speed sequential gearboxes. Their robustness and long service life make them ideal for continuous use in competitive racing environments.
- Lightweight liquid level sensors for fuel and fluid monitoring - Race optimisation depends on precise fuel and oil monitoring without adding unnecessary weight or complexity. Compact, lightweight liquid level sensors are designed to operate reliably in high vibration environments and extreme operating conditions. They are suitable for high grade fuels and oils and can be installed without modification to tanks or filler caps, helping teams remain compliant with competition regulations.
- Non-contact position sensors for aerodynamic, brake and suspension control - Accurate real-time position measurement is critical for aerodynamic systems, brake balance and suspension dynamics. Non-contact position sensors provide precise, drift-free measurement while remaining immune to dirt, moisture and mechanical wear. Their ability to operate reliably in high temperature and dusty track environments makes them well suited to demanding motorsport applications where consistency and repeatability are essential.
