Essential to the working of all the Geartronics products, 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, Contelec or Novotechnik. We can also supply the linear sensor as used on some Hewland gearboxes.
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.
We also supply rotary sensors in hall-effect versions, either single or double output. Hall-effect sensors are a more reliable alternative than potentiometers and are immune to the effects of vibration. We always specify hall sensors when used with our paddleshift system.
