Built-In Shunt Calibration Function
Steer ability maintained at Rupture
Unique Remote Data Acquisition trigger feature

The FCA7300 steering wheels sensors aredesigned for automotive testing and provide an “all-in”
measurement.
This generation of transducers incorporates numerous
technological functions, such as:
 Angle reset, torque calibration
 A Start trigger signal to the remote data acquisition
system.
 Optical coder processing to prevent the need forexternal TTL electronics
 Five simultaneous analogue output signals
 Suppression of the bearing friction influence ontorque, allowing high accuracy for low torquemeasurements
 Low profile design retains the same driving
conditions as with standard steering wheels.
 The sensor assembly can be operated:o The sensor can be screwed on shaft, seedrawing page 3.
o Easily mounted on any road vehicle byoptional flanges, please consult factory.
 Optional steering stops adjustable between ±15° to±165° are available. These stops fold automaticallyfor safety.

Torque/Speed/Velocity on Steering Wheel

GENERAL FEATURESThe FCA 7300 series of measurement steering wheels
are the most accurate available on the market today.
This new generation of transducers incorporates
numerous technological innovations, such as :Full on-board conditioning electronics, with built-in
angle reset, torque calibration function and a facility tosend a start trigger signal to the remote data acquisition
system.
Optical coder processing electronics are built-in - there
is no need for external TTL electronics
Five simultaneous analogue output signals, twotorque channels, two angle channels and one
angular velocity channel
Bearing friction influence on the torque measurement
has been eliminated, allowing high accuracy low torquemeasurements

Mounting principle of transducer on steeringcolumn - no disassembly of column is required.
Adapters are not supplied

Low profile design retains the same driving conditions
as with standard steering wheels.
Easily mounted on any road vehicle by means offlanges; no disassembly of the steering column isrequired.
Optional steering stops adjustable between ±15° to±165° are available. These stops fold automatically forsafety: there is no need for the driver to hit a panicbutton.
