MOTEC 3 FORCE COMBINED SENSOR
GST included for Australian customers
This multi-faceted, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) has been designed specifically for motorsport, providing triple axis sensing of G-Force and Gyroscopic measurements. It also provides Compass (magnetic field) measurements.
The sensing range of each sensor has been tailored to suit a wide range of applications that experience high levels of dynamic motion. Each of the three axes (X, Y, Z) is orthogonal to the others, measuring positive and negative forces.
A compact and robust design ensures the 3Force unit is well suited the harsh motorsport environment.
FEATURES :
- Simultaneous measurement of G-Force, Gyroscopic and Magnetic Sensing (compass)
- Triple axis sensing of all parameters
- CAN bus interface with a high level of configurability
- Flexible CAN bus address and data rates
- Extensive customisation of the data output
- Rugged design
- Compact and low weight - less than 55 grams
- Cost competitive
- Spare processing capability for custom firmware
- Upgradeable - allowing for enhanced functionality

The sensor is capable of detecting the earth's magnetic field, although it is affected by the presence of ferrous objects at very short range.
Note:
- The CAN bus speed is selected when the sensor is purchased. It may be changed at a later stage.
