Development Update – New Pedals, Pro Baseplate and a Handbrake

 

First of all we’d like to let you know that we’re currently assembling a first series of our Sim Pedals RaceCenter Edition. These pedals are designed for use in commercial environments where users (and sometimes also operators/employees) have limited experience with simulation equipment....

 

Another product we’ve made during the past few weeks is a Generic Base Plate for our Sim Pedals Pro. This will allow our Pro Pedals to be mounted on a steady base which can then be mounted in a simulator....

 

And then.. one more thing. A while ago we’ve decided to do a handbrake! We’re currently assembling a first series which is due to go on sale later this year. The handbrake is pressure based, using a loadcell to measure the force which is put on the lever. The resistance of the handbrake can be varied using different rubbers, while the system also features an overload protection...

Il funzionamento non sembra malaccio, ma un po' di estetica non guasterebbe!

In tutti i suoi lavori il design non é il suo forte!

Sim Handbrake – Prototype
€119.00 -> http://www.h-engineering.net/shop/sim-handbrake/
 

The Heusinkveld Sim Handbrake is a pressure sensitive handbrake using load cell technology. It features a firm, progressive feel and is ideal for rally and drifting simulation software. The estimated maximum force which can be put at the lever is 12kg (26,5lbs). The handbrake features an adjustable mounting bracket, allowing the lever to tilted relatively to its mounting point in order to offer maximum mounting flexibility.

ottimo prezzo e buona cosa il fatto che abbia (fortunatamente) deciso di rivedere la parte dedicata all'impugnatura (almeno nel render...).

 

Non sono particolarmente amante del design "a piastre" che è solito usare e tantomeno della meccanica a vista, ma il sistema di inclinazione della leva sembra interessante, anche se la load cell così collegata (così vicino al fulcro) rischia di arrivare a pacchetto (se anche fosse da 100kg) con poco più di 20 kg applicati in punta alla leva...forse meno...

 

Oggettino semplice e funzionale a prezzo ampiamente giustificabile... una degna verniciatura e finitura non guasterebbe  :whistle:

 

edit:

azz ho letto adesso. La massima forza applicabile sulla punta della leva è 12 kg circa  :doh:

Non c'ero andato poi molto lontano... Tutto sommato "ci sta"...visto il prezzo, ma a me sembrano pochini considerando la foga di certi rallysti  :closed:

Da notare la totale mancanza dell'elettronica o di un amplificatore per cella di carico (come riportato dalla pagina del sito). 
In pratica è ancora un prototipo quindi chi se lo compra "si arrangia" a livello elettronico...

Comunque per andare sempre nel sottile, esser sempre vincolato alla elasticitá di un materiale non é il massimo, nel tempo e con l'uso le sensazioni e la resistenza cambia, sicuramente non tutti ci fanno caso ma nei test i valori rilevati subiscono delle variazioni, va be poi abbiamo la funzione Santa Zona Morta.....

Sim Handbrake Released

We’re happy to announce that we’ve released our Sim Handbrake. The Sim Handbrake is a true pressure sensitive (load cell technology) and very robust handbrake solution for use with PC based racing simulations.
Apart from being a very durable system, it also offers a lot of flexibility. Various force levels can be set on the lever, and the angle of the lever can be adjusted in 120 degrees in infinite steps. A few photos of the Sim Handbrake can be seen below.
