Wheel Vector Sensing with Rotary sensor P6501
Featured Product from Novotechnik U.S., Inc.
Wheel Vector Sensing
Product: Rotary sensor P6501
Among other things, the wheel vector sensors are used for studying camber angle variations (e.g. when cornering), measuring wheel position variations and recording positions while driving on test courses and racing tracks for simulators.
These types of sensors provide important basic characteristics for design purposes, e.g. dimensioning wheelhouses, wheel suspension systems or determining the stress of the material of the tires.
The five P6501 sensors included in the wheel vector sensor device detect all motions of the wheel. Using a vector-based computing process, the wheel positions are calculated from the sensor signals. The wheel vector sensor device outputs the measured data of the P6501 sensors, individually, in proportion to the motion.

Novotechnik – the technique of being better
Novotechnik introduced the potentiometer into the general machine engineering sector in the 1950s. Since then, the company developed technology used in position transducers and rotary and linear potentiometers that set the standard with outstanding linearity and reliability over an extended operating life.
Today, Novotechnik has developed new technologies that are raising the standard, bringing a new level of linearity and reliability to non-contacting applications.
An international sensor and transducer manufacturing company, Novotechnik’s US operations are headquartered in Southborough, Massachusetts. Contelec and Novotechnik are divisions of the Siedle Group.
The company develops and produces a wide variety of rotary, and linear position sensors using contacting and non-contacting technologies for a wide range of motion control applications in the automotive, machine engineering, plastics, medical equipment, hydraulic, pneumatic, medical products and control industries.
Novotechnik is world wide certified as one of the first companies to achieve the ISO/TS 16949 certification. This complies with the requirements of the automobile industry - VDA 6.1, QS9000, EAQF, AVSQ - regarding quality management systems.
ISO 9001 Certified
