200kg Load Cell for Sim Racing Pedals | GALOCE

In the world of racing, every detail can make a difference in the outcome of a race. One key detail that can greatly impact a race is the design and performance of the pedals. To ensure that drivers can accurately control acceleration and braking, many racing teams opt to use load cell pedals.

What is Load Cell Pedals?

Load cell pedals are a type of racing simulator pedal that uses load cell technology to measure the force you apply when braking. This allows for a more realistic and controllable braking experience, as you can brake with the actual force from your own foot pressure. They also enable you to achieve better and more precise results in your racing simulations by allowing for more accurate control of advanced braking techniques like on-road and off-road braking.

Why do you need a load cell for racing pedals?

Racing pedals are designed for racing and high-performance driving, including the throttle, brake, and clutch pedals. Traditional displacement and Hall sensors used in sim racing pedals have drawbacks like short life span, instability, and frequent calibration needs. Load cells, with advantages like good linearity, repeatability, resistance to bias load, and high accuracy, are increasingly used in sim racing pedals. They allow for precise brake force input and offer a more realistic driving experience, enabling better control of advanced braking techniques like on-road and off-road braking in racing simulations.

How does load cell work on a racing pedals ?

The load cell is placed at the pedal's base, pressed at its lowest point. When you press the pedal, spring compression occurs, and the force is fed back to the load cell. This converts the pedal force into proportional analog signals, which are sent to the backend device. This setup allows for precise braking force input, giving you a more accurate and realistic driving experience in simulations.

How to choose the right load cell for your racing simulator pedals?

When selecting load cells for your racing simulator pedals, consider the following factors to ensure optimal performance and durability: 

• Accuracy: Opt for load cells with high precision to ensure accurate force measurement, which translates to a more realistic driving experience. 
• Capacity: Choose a load cell with a capacity that matches the maximum force you expect to apply during braking. This prevents overloading and extends the sensor's lifespan. 
• Response Time: A faster response time ensures that the pedal reacts instantly to your input, providing a more responsive and realistic feel. 
• Durability: Look for load cells built to withstand repeated use and potential impacts, especially if you engage in intense racing sessions. 
• Environmental Resistance: If you plan to use your simulator in varying conditions, consider load cells with resistance to temperature changes, humidity, and dust. 
• Compatibility: Ensure the load cell is compatible with your pedal mechanics and the software you use for your racing simulator. 
• Calibration: Some load cells require less frequent calibration than others, which can be a practical consideration for maintaining your setup over time.
