This component is the `messenger'
of the operation. It's the job of the sensor to send the
trigger message to the quickshifter to initiate the interrupt.
There are different types of sensors, pressure sensors, strain
gauge sensors and positional sensors.
Translogic Systems Ltd offers
two types, pressure (GP sensor) and positional sensors. We have
designed into our GP sensors a `cushion' effect which results
in a superior smooth gear lever action similar to using the
clutch and shifting gear normally without a quickshifter system,
this unique design reduces the load on the transmission and
gives a little extra time to prepare for the unloading of the
moving internal gearbox components as well as making the shift
more comfortable for the rider/operator. Every Translogic
pressure quick shifter sensor is calibrated at our facility using state-of-the-art
strain gauge technology in a controlled environment as temperature
differential can effect the strain gauge output, this is vital
for consistent strain gauge measurement, ensuring that when
a GP sensor leaves Translogic Systems Ltd it has the right feel
out of the box with the added bonus of never going out of adjustment.
There are strain gauge quickshifter sensors used by Factory MotoGP teams which offer a small advantage in that this type
of sensitive sensor can give an output when the sensor is in
tension and compression, however the constant adjustment and
maintenance make this type of sensor really only suitable for
teams with a dedicated electronics technician. The positional
(Linear sensor) is used on applications where there is no tie
rod to install the GP sensor. This type of sensor is the
only way to maintain the original feel of the gear lever and
shift action over pivoting gear levers assemblies. These
positional sensors do require setting up and adjusting to trigger
at the right gear lever point so they inherently aren't as easy
to install as our GP sensors. They do however suit hand operated
gear levers particularly well as the trigger point can be set
without the operator feeling any initial pressure/resistance
in the gear lever movement when upshifting.
Summary
So, who makes the best quick shifter
systems? Translogic Systems Ltd is confident we make the
best quickshifter system you can install to your machine with
superior quality, reliability, unique design features and coupled
with a 2 year warranty on our
QS4-09 and
QS2-09 quickshifter systems
