Loadcell Simagic P-S200 200 kg - steering wheel load cell for sim racing pedals

Simagic P-S200 200 kg is a loadcell sensor designed for sim racing pedal systems to measure applied pedal force up to 200 kilograms. It translates mechanical force into an electrical signal for pedal input, enabling more consistent and accurate detection of brake and throttle effort compared with standard potentiometers or hall sensors. The unit is intended as an upgrade component for compatible sim racing pedals and rigs where a loadcell-style sensing method is supported.

Advantages

The loadcell provides high-resolution force measurement with a wide measuring range up to 200 kg, reducing the need for extreme pedal travel and offering repeatable input for lap-to-lap consistency. By sensing force rather than position, it delivers a more realistic brake feel and improved modulation for sim racing and driver training. The compact form factor simplifies installation into many pedal assemblies without significantly altering pedal geometry.

Suitable for

• Upgrading sim racing pedals to loadcell-based braking systems
• Simulator setups focused on realistic brake and throttle feedback
• Driver training rigs requiring repeatable force measurement
• Rigs where compact, high-capacity force sensors are needed

Key specifications

• Measurement type: strain gauge loadcell (force sensor)
• Maximum measurable force: 200 kg
• Form factor: compact inline sensor suitable for pedal integration
• Output: electrical signal proportional to applied force (requires compatible interface or amplifier)
• Typical use environment: indoor sim racing rigs and training setups

How to use

Install the loadcell into the pedal assembly following the mechanical mounting points of your pedals or rig so that applied pedal force is transmitted through the sensor. Connect the loadcell output to a compatible loadcell amplifier, breakout board, or controller input that accepts strain gauge signals and provides proper excitation and signal conditioning. Calibrate the sensor in your sim software or controller to define zero point, gain and braking curve to match preferred pedal response. Verify secure mechanical connections and electrical wiring before use.

Usage recommendations

Ensure the loadcell is mounted so that force is applied along the sensor’s intended axis and avoid side loads. Use a compatible amplifier or controller input with appropriate excitation voltage and input range to achieve stable readings. Perform software calibration after installation and periodically check mounting hardware and wiring for wear or loosening to maintain consistent performance.
