Introduction

The HBT Handlebar Torque Measurement System measures the steering effort torque and steering angle on motorcycles and ATVs while maintaining the proper function of the handlebars.

The HBT can be mounted to steering handlebars or an ATV shaft by replacing or mounting to the existing handlebar clamps. Michigan Scientific can design and manufacture a mounting system to fit customer requirements. The anti-rotation restraint for the steering angle sensor is secured to a stationary reference on the motorcycle.

The HBT is a strain gauge based sensor made from high strength stainless steel and is fully temperature compensated. The steering angle signal is generated from a high resolution inductive encoder. The torque transducer and steer angle sensor are powered and controlled by a Michigan Scientific DIGI-STEER Control Unit.
