Application: Kitesurfing
System interface: Internal amplifier with analogue interface
Loadpin MB296 SPS
The use of force sensors for kitesurfing is mainly practiced in the speed optimization.
Objectives of riders:
- Optimizing the bounce heights and forces
- Optimal trim of the kite
Requirements of riders:
- No additional devices
- Hardly changes in the system configuration
- 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
