FAQ
FAQ
Q: What makes the Load Cell Handbrake different from a traditional handbrake?
A: Unlike conventional potentiometer-based handbrakes, the Asetek Racing Load Cell Handbrake uses a 200 kg load cell to measure braking force rather than lever position. This provides more precise, consistent, and repeatable input, giving you greater confidence during rally, drifting, and other precision driving scenarios.
Q: Can I adjust the braking feel?
A: Yes. The Load Cell Handbrake features a tunable two-stage resistance system with interchangeable elastomers and springs, allowing you to customize the stiffness and braking profile to match your driving style and simulate the feel of a real hydraulic handbrake.
Q: Does the Load Cell Handbrake support both analogue and digital input?
A: Yes. With the push of a button, you can instantly switch between pressure-based analogue mode for progressive control and digital mode for on/off handbrake operation, making it suitable for a wide variety of racing simulators.
Q: Is the Load Cell Handbrake compatible with Xbox?
A: Yes. The Load Cell Handbrake is Xbox ready when used together with a compatible Asetek Racing Xbox wheelbase and steering wheel, while also offering full compatibility for PC racing setups.
Q: Can I mount the handbrake on either side of my sim rig?
A: Yes. The handbrake supports both left-hand and right-hand drive configurations and features flexible mounting options using 4× M6 threaded T-nuts with an adjustable mounting pattern, making it easy to integrate into most sim racing cockpits.
Q: Can I customize the Load Cell Handbrake in RaceHub?
A: Yes. Using RaceHub™, you can calibrate and fine-tune your handbrake to suit your preferences. Your settings are automatically saved to the built-in EPROM memory, so they remain stored even when switching between different racing simulators or games.
