Industrial encoders for dummies
US manufacturer BEI has teamed up with the iconic "For dummies" brand to produce an innovative tutorial guide on industrial encoders.
Eventually Variohm products were specified for four functions on the MG Lola namely suspension height monitoring, steering position, gear selection control and brake pressure.
The first three functions used potentiometers and the fourth a strain gauge pressure transducer.
All these devices are "absolute", insofaras they do not use any memory function, they can be switched off or disconnected and will know precisely where they are or the pressure they are seeing immediately power is restored.
Variohm's range of sensors are used in many industries - not just in motor sport.
Typical applications would be in the fields of medicine, machine control, process control and laboratory testing.
