The new Tactilus® brake sensor captures surface pressure distribution and magnitude between the brake shoe and rotor surface. Unique to the industry, each Tactilus® sensor is custom designed for your particular brake shoe. With Tactilus® you only have to invest once in electronics and as your brake design evolves, only the custom tailored sensor element need be adapted.

The Tactilus® sensor has built in thermistors that provide temperature compensation – an industry exclusive. As a result, you will have confidence that your data output is more accurate and repeatable than ever before.

Tactilus® Technology

Tactilus® is a matrix-based tactile surface sensor. Essentially an “electronic skin” that records and interprets pressure distribution and magnitude between any two contacting or mating surfaces and assimilates that data collected into a powerful Windows®-based tool kit. Each Tactilus® sensor is carefully assembled to exacting tolerances and individually calibrated and serialized.

The architectural philosophy of Tactilus® is modular allowing for portability, easy expansion, and simultaneous data collection of up for 4 discrete sensor pads. Tactilus® employs sophisticated mathematical algorithms that intelligently separate signal from noise, and advanced electronic shielding techniques to maximize environmental immunity to electromagnetic noise, temperature and humidity.

Benefits

• Each sensor is individually customized to your brake shoe dimensions
• Highly accurate and repeatable
