Linear Position Sensor – 1″ – 100mm Travel Length: Between Mounting Holes (Closed) 227mm

Compact Precision Telemetry: Linear Position Sensor (100mm)

In high-performance engine management and chassis tuning, knowing the exact position of steering, throttle, or suspension is non-negotiable. The Linear Position Sensor with 100mm Travel is a compact and high-resolution instrument designed for professional standalone ECU integration. With a 227mm distance between mounting holes when closed, this sensor is perfectly suited for measuring steering angle on drift cars or throttle position on custom individual throttle body (ITB) setups. It delivers a pristine 0-5V signal to your ECU, enabling the execution of advanced logic and safety strategies within your fuel map calibration.

Engineering Principles: High-Resolution Feedback Logic

This sensor functions as a linear potentiometer, where the physical movement of the internal plunger directly alters the output voltage. This Analogue-to-Digital interface provides the ECU with a high-resolution window into mechanical events. The IP65 rating ensures that the sensor maintains its calibration even in high-heat engine bays or when exposed to the elements during wet-weather racing. This reliability is vital for harness integration in professional-level builds, as it ensures that your steering angle or throttle position data is delivered without the jitter associated with inferior sensor technology.

Operational Benefits for Drift and Circuit Racing

Integrating 100mm linear sensors with a Haltech Elite or Nexus series ECU unlocks higher-tier vehicle dynamics control. For RB26 or 2JZ drift cars, using this sensor for steering angle telemetry allows the ECU to implement angle-specific boost control or traction management, preventing excessive oversteer. In circuit applications, this 100mm travel is often used to measure high-frequency brake pedal travel or anti-roll bar position, providing the tuner with the data needed to refine the vehicle’s transient handling. The inclusion of nylon mounting bolts (recommended) provides essential signal isolation, protecting your data logs from EMI (Electromagnetic Interference).

Installation and Professional Interface

The 100mm sensor is a universal component that suits all ECUs with a spare AVI. Its compact 227mm closed length makes it ideal for installation in tight spaces where a longer sensor would not fit. The kit includes the sensor and a matching opposing connector set for a professional, moisture-proof electrical interface. During harness integration, ensure the sensor is mounted to a rigid part of the chassis to prevent bracket flex from corrupting the data. Proper two-point calibration within the Haltech software ensures that 0V and 5V correspond perfectly to the physical limits of the 100mm travel.
