Wheel vector sensors are used for studying camber angle variations (e.g. when cornering), measuring wheel position variations, recording test courses and racing tracks for simulators.
These types of sensors therefore provide important basic characteristics for design purposes, e.g. dimensioning wheel houses, wheel suspension systems or determining the stress of the material of the tires.
The five P-6501 included in the wheel vector sensor detect all motions of the wheel. Based on a vectorial computing process, the wheel positions are calculated from the sensor signals. The wheel vector sensor outputs individually the measured data of P-6501 in proportion to the motion.
