Steering Angle Sensor

The steering angle sensor is required to measure the displacement between 2 points using a sensor (linear potentiometer) directly connected to the points of measurement. This potentiometer can be used to measure linear displacements like:

• Suspension and spring cushion compression or extension
• Steering column rotation measured through the rack displacement
• Wing or spoiler deflection at speed
• Shock and suspension travel
• Ride height

We offer a range of sizes for the potentiometer, for both the pop end and rose joint fittings: 50mm, 75mm, 100mm and 150mm. As a simple guide, most cars use 100mm on both the front and rear suspension.

The steering angle sensor integrates seamlessly with Aim data loggers and dash displays, providing real-time feedback on steering behaviour. It comes with a 30cm cable as standard, but to extend the length or connect the steering angle sensor to an Aim device, please select the 719-719 patch lead option.

Please Note: If connecting to an EVO4S data logger or channel expansion, use a 712-719 patch lead. If you’re unsure which connectors you might need for your setup, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team.
