It is well known that brake pedals in cars respond to how hard you press on them rather than how far the pedal travels. By simply adding a load-cell our brake pedal upgrade kits for sim racing let you convert your distance-based pedals to force-based ones. Load-cell brake pedals for sim racing contain one or more strain gauges that sense the deformation of the load cell. When the load-cell brake pedal is under pressure it converts this to an electrical signal which is used to accurately determine the amount of force being applied to them. Load cells are commonly used in modern electronic scales and can measure the weight of deli meats or the weight of tractor trailers, depending on their size. Load cells are one of the easiest and most effective upgrades you can make to your brake pedals.
