Essential to the working of the Geartronics display & Flatshift controller, is some form of
gearbox sensor. The job of the sensor is to accurately measure the angular position of the
selector barrel. Understandably, it has to be something rather special, not only for it to be able to
accurately measure almost the whole 360 degrees of rotation, but also to be able to withstand
the harsh environment to which it will be subjected.

We can supply the full range of sensors from Penny & Giles, Active Sensors or Novotechnik.
We can also supply the linear sensor as used on some Hewland gearboxes.

Prices start from £30.00 for the linear sensor or £75.00 for the rotaries. Plastic bodied sensors
are usually available ex-stock or alloy bodies to special order, lead-time typically 3-5 days. Most
sensors can be supplied with either heatshrink or Viton protective boots and cables are sleeved
with high specification Raychem 'DR25' or equivalent.
