Methodology for Measuring Forces in Motorcycle Suspension Using a System Based on Analogue Potentiometers

Abstract

This study explores the quest for a more cost-effective and practical method of measuring forces in motorcycle suspension systems by utilizing simple potentiometers as an alternative to sophisticated strain gauges. The research delves into the feasibility of potentiometers to provide accurate and reliable force measurements, offering potential advantages in terms of affordability, accessibility, and ease of implementation. Through empirical testing and verification, this investigation aims to establish potentiometers as a viable and economical solution for enhancing motorcycle suspension performance monitoring and tuning.
