Inner hub adapters

The inner hub adapters attach to either side of the inner diameter of the
transducer assembly. The inner hub adapters enable you to maintain the original
position of the tire, brakes, and sprocket on the vehicle, while the centerline of
transducer assembly is attached along the centerline of the wheel.

Outer spoke/hub

adapters

The outer spoke/hub adapters mount to the outer diameter of the transducer
assembly and provide mounting for the wheel spokes or modified rim assembly.

Components Set Up for Test Track

Anti-rotate/cable

conduit bracket

The anti-rotate/cable conduit bracket provides a means of routing and securing
the slip-ring encoder cable. The bracket attaches to the motorcycle frame to

prevent the slip-ring encoder from rotating.

Its primary function is to provide a fixed reference point for the angle sensor. Its

secondary function is to prevent the cable from rotating with the wheel and
becoming tangled or breaking.

Slip-ring encoder

An encoder measures the angular position of the transducer. The SWIFT sensor
slip-ring encoder is integrated into the right-side inner hub adapter, and counts
off “ticks” to measure the angular position as the wheel rotates. It measures 2048
(512 pulse quadrature) points per revolution (ppr) with a resolution of 0.18
degrees.
