Overview

AiM Sports ECLIPSE Linear Potentiometer Sensors

AiM Sports ECLIPSE linear potentiometer sensors offer superior durability and accuracy in motorsport with contactless technology for infinite life, a robust fiberglass/carbon fiber construction, and a wide range for measuring damper travel, steering, and suspension movement, providing reliable, precise data for vehicle optimization. Key benefits include wear resistance (no physical contact), excellent mechanical and thermal stability, easy integration with AiM systems (Race Studio 3), and versatile mounting options. The ECLIPSE Series is available in various sizes and comes in quick release pop joint or rod end bearing and feature linear potentiometer ends with a M4x0.7mm male thread on both ends.

Key Benefits:

* Long life and reliability—contactless inductive technology means no physical contact between the shaft and sensor, eliminating wear and ensuring consistent performance and longevity, unlike traditional potentiometers.
* High accuracy and repeatability—delivers precise linear position data for critical measurements like shock compression/extension and steering rack travel, crucial for tuning suspension

Advanced Materials:

* Housing—fiberglass-reinforced epoxy offers high mechanical strength, thermal stability, and flame resistance
* Extruded carbon fiber makes the shaft lightweight yet strong
* Easy integration for simple setup and configuration within AiM's Race Studio 3 software, with various mounting hardware (ball joints, rod ends) and connector options
* Versatile applications—measures linear movements for dampers, steering, throttle, and suspension, fitting various vehicle types (cars, bikes)
* Clear fault detection—a 0.5-4.5V output range allows for easy detection of open circuits (<<100mV) or short circuits (>4900mV)

How They're Used:

* Suspension tuning—monitor shock absorber movement to optimize damping settings
* Steering analysis—measure rack displacement for precise steering feedback
* Ride height—track ride height changes for aerodynamic and handling analysis
