Envelope request

Handbrake: 500 / 1,000 N requested range. Gear shift: 500 N nominal; other ranges reviewed individually.

Mounting request

Request an articulated handbrake fixture or shift-knob adapter. Provide the lever, knob thread and permitted added mass.

Signal-chain request

Tension / compression or multi-component architecture follows the fixture. Quote signal conditioning and channels separately.

Acceptance evidence

Define pull / push directions, grip location, stroke, repeated cycles and fixture friction before calibration.

TEST PLAN / INTEGRATION

Define the installed measurement.

Parking-brake effort

Record the actual grip position and line of action. Joint articulation and fixture friction affect force transfer.

Gear-shift force

Separate fore-aft and lateral shift efforts where required. A single-axis insert cannot establish an unmeasured transverse component.

Complete cockpit programs

Combine pedal, handbrake and shift requests under one equipment list while retaining separate calibration and fixtures.

INSTALLED ACCEPTANCE / EVIDENCE

Control the force path before comparing traces.

Define pull / push directions, grip location, stroke, repeated cycles and fixture friction before calibration.

Request the capacity-specific drawing, sensor and readout configuration, calibration scope and acceptance procedure. Reference photographs and request targets do not replace those records.

PFS-COCKPIT / ENGINEERING ANSWERS

Resolve these questions before ordering.

Are PFS-HB and PFS-GS in the initial five-family catalog?

They extend it as cockpit configuration requests. The request codes now have their own page and RFQ inputs.

Can I reuse a pedal sensor calibration for a lever fixture?

The installed fixture changes the force path. Review directions, alignment and system calibration for the actual assembly.

From pedal load to usable data.

ENGINEERING / REQUEST

Build the right
measurement chain.

Send your force range, pedal dimensions and acquisition requirements. Request a mounting drawing, CAD review and a complete sensor / readout quotation.

Replacing an existing sensor?

Include the exact part number, drawing revision, connector pinout and calibration requirements. Compatibility is reviewed per configuration.

Corporate procurement requests

Include your purchasing entity, PO requirements, destination and required invoice / calibration documents. Payment options, trade terms, freight and delivery are confirmed in the written quotation.

MODEL-AWARE ENGINEERING REQUEST

Primary model: PFS-HB-1000N500 / 1,000 N requested range · Handbrake operating forceHandheld peak-hold meter · mV/V bridgeApplication-specific fixture review; quoted separately

Start with your model, contact and delivery needs. Connection and acquisition details can be refined below; supplied specifications require written review.

Optional connector, acquisition & calibration details

These current values are included in your copied, emailed and submitted request, even when this panel is closed. Change them if your integration needs differ.

Accessory planning allowances

Selected allowance: $215. A travel logger replaces the separate handheld meter in this request. Sensor, custom fixtures, USB / HID electronics, accredited calibration, taxes and shipping are quoted separately. Actual hardware compatibility and any kit-included mounting are reconciled in the quotation. The universal pedal-plate allowance does not apply to this family. Its custom fixture is reviewed and quoted separately.

We use these details to respond to your request. Privacy policy. Request codes and design targets require written confirmation.
