Linear Position Sensor – 1″ – 200mm Travel Length: Between Mounting Holes (Closed) 327mm

Professional Chassis Feedback: Linear Position Sensor (200mm)

Accurate suspension data is the foundation of a competitive chassis setup. The Linear Position Sensor with 200mm Travel is a high-precision measurement tool designed for motorsport data acquisition. Featuring a 327mm closed mounting distance, this sensor is perfectly sized for mid-travel suspension setups commonly found in GT3, Time-Attack, and high-performance LS-swap applications. It delivers a linear 0-5V output to your standalone ECU integration, providing the ECU with real-time positional data for every millimeter of wheel travel, enabling deterministic traction control and aerodynamic analysis.

Engineering Principles: Signal Fidelity and IP65 Durability

The sensor utilizes a high-durability internal resistive track that translates the movement of the actuating rod into a proportional voltage signal. This Analogue-to-Digital interface occurs with zero signal lag, which is critical for identifying high-frequency suspension oscillations that can indicate poor damper valving. With an IP65 rating, the sensor is built to survive the harsh environment of a wheel arch, resisting high-pressure water spray and tire debris. This structural integrity is vital for harness integration in endurance racing, where the sensor must provide reliable data over 24-hour cycles without signal drift or mechanical failure.

Operational Benefits: Traction and Aero Load Management

Integrating a 200mm linear sensor with a Haltech Elite or Nexus system allows the tuner to use ride height as a foundational variable in the fuel map calibration. For turbocharged 2JZ or RB26 builds, this data enables “Boost-by-Height” strategies through closed-loop boost control. If the sensor detects the rear of the car squatting significantly (indicating high mechanical grip), the ECU can safely increase boost pressure. Conversely, if the sensor detects excessive ride height rise at the front (indicating a loss of downforce), the ECU can drop boost to maintain vehicle stability. This level of integration provides both a performance edge and a layer of detonation protection through controlled loading.

Installation and Integration Logic

This sensor suits all ECUs with a spare AVI and is designed for a modular harness integration. The kit includes the sensor and a matching opposing connector set for a secure, moisture-proof electrical junction. During installation, the 327mm closed length should be used as the mechanical datum. It is highly recommended to use nylon mounting bolts to protect the aluminum sensor body and provide electrical isolation from the vehicle chassis. Proper alignment is key; the sensor should be mounted so that the rod travel is concentric with the path of the suspension component to prevent side-loading and ensure the maximum 200mm stroke is usable.
