Analog

System interface:  Internal amplifier with analog interface


The use of force sensors for kitesurfing is mainly practiced in the speed optimization.

Objectives of riders:

1. Optimizing the bounce heights and forces
   
2. Optimal trim of the kite

Requirements of riders:

1. No additional devices
2. Hardly changes in the system configuration
3. No additional cabling

Those requirements get satisfied by the help of loadpins, which are incorporated into the dragline by shackles. A Bluetooth measurement amplifier (GSV-3BT from our partner ME-Meßsysteme GmbH) can transmit the current values wirelessly to a laptop, PDA or a mobile phone with Bluetooth. The helmsman sees the shackle or the rope forces applied in real-time. The duration of the battery depends on the customers requirements.

Advantages of the sensor system:

- Force measurement in real-time
- Hardly parameter change in the linesystem
- Easy installation
- Wireless system

Alternative Messbolzen:

• 8mm - GBA8
• 10mm - GBA10
• 24mm - MB295
• 26mm - MB642
• 27mm - MB296
