Product Information

Full details

This AiM Motorsport Brake Pressure Sensor Kit is designed for OTK kart owners aiming to enhance their braking performance through detailed data analysis. The primary benefit is precise measurement of brake pedal pressure, allowing drivers to understand and refine their braking technique. A caveat is its specific compatibility with OTK karts featuring M10 threads. This kit includes a stainless steel inline T-piece and a patch lead, measuring brake pressure from 0 to 160 BAR, and is compatible with AiM MyChron4, MyChron5, and MyChron6 (including 2T) data loggers.

FAQs

What thread size is required for installation?

The sensor kit is designed for OTK karts with M10 thread size connections.

Which AiM data loggers are compatible with this sensor?

This sensor is compatible with AiM MyChron4, MyChron5, and MyChron6 (including 2T versions).

What is the maximum pressure the sensor can measure?

The sensor can measure brake pressure from 0 to 160 BAR.

Do I need any special software to analyze the data?

Yes, the recorded data can be analyzed using AiM's Race Studio software.

Is the patch lead included with the sensor kit?

Yes, the sensor is supplied complete with the necessary patch lead.

Can this sensor be used on karts other than OTK brands?

This specific kit is designed for OTK karts with M10 threads. Other applications may require different adapters or sensor configurations.

How does this sensor help improve lap times?

By providing precise data on brake pedal application, it allows drivers to refine their braking technique, leading to more consistent corner entries and potentially faster lap times.

Troubleshooting

Sensor not detected by data logger

Verify the patch lead is securely connected to both the sensor and the data logger. Ensure the data logger is powered on and the correct input channel is configured. Check for any visible damage to the patch lead.

Inconsistent or erratic pressure readings

Check for air in the brake system; bleed the brakes if necessary. Inspect the sensor and T-piece for any leaks or damage. Ensure all connections are tight.

Low or zero pressure readings during braking

Confirm the sensor is correctly installed in the brake line. Check the patch lead connection. Ensure sufficient pressure is being applied to the pedal; test with the brakes applied manually if possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides objective data on braking application.
  • Facilitates precise tuning of braking points and pressure modulation.
  • Enables detailed performance analysis and comparison.
  • Offers a direct, integrated solution for OTK kart users.
  • Enhances driver understanding of their own input.

Cons

  • Limited to OTK karts with M10 thread compatibility.
  • Requires an AiM data logger for full functionality and analysis.
  • Installation may require some mechanical familiarity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the kart is safely supported and immobile.
  2. Locate the existing brake line connection point.
  3. Carefully disconnect the brake line.
  4. Install the AiM T-piece sensor into the brake line circuit, ensuring a secure fit.
  5. Reconnect the brake line to the other end of the T-piece.
  6. Connect the patch lead from the sensor to a compatible AiM data logger (MyChron4, MyChron5, MyChron6).
  7. Power on the data logger and verify sensor recognition.

Compatibility:

  • Kart Chassis: Specifically designed for OTK karts with M10 threaded brake line connections.
  • Data Loggers: AiM MyChron4, MyChron5, MyChron6 (including 2T versions).
  • Pressure Range: 0-160 BAR.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the sensor and connections for any signs of damage or leaks.
  • Clean the exterior of the sensor with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents.
  • Ensure connections remain tight and free from debris.
