Intercomp Racing Digital Travel and Bump Steer Gauge

This detailed description is about the high-precision Digital Travel and Bump Steer Gauge offered by Intercomp Racing, which is an essential tool for every serious motorsport and suspension tuner. This precision device allows for extremely accurate measurement of suspension geometry, aiding in achieving optimal setups on the racetrack or in the workshop.

Product Overview and Key Features

The Digital Travel and Bump Steer Gauge combines the latest technology with a robust, race-track compatible design. Unlike traditional, less precise mechanical measuring tools, this digital system provides unparalleled accuracy and easy readability, minimizing the possibility of human error during critical suspension adjustments.

This device is crucial for the bump steer (the horizontal displacement caused by the vertical movement of the wheel) and wheel travel for measurement. Bump steer measurement is essential for fine-tuning vehicle behavior across different load conditions, especially in high-speed corners and on uneven surfaces.

Main Advantages:

• Outstanding Accuracy: Digital readout ensures decimal precision during adjustments.
• Simple Operation: Intuitive interface and fast setup process.
• Robust Construction: Designed to withstand harsh workshop conditions and track vibrations.
• Fast Data Acquisition: Allows for quick recording of suspension movement across the full travel range.

Technical Specifications and Details

Intercomp Racing measuring instruments are manufactured to the highest industry standards. The table below summarizes the most important technical parameters:

The Depth of Bump Steer Measurement

During bump steer measurement, the gauge accurately tracks the vertical movement of the wheel (travel) while recording the horizontal displacement of the tie rod end or a sensor attached to the wheel hub.

Advantages of the digital system in bump steer adjustment:

1. Zeroing Capability: The system allows zeroing the measurement at any point, making it easy to determine the zero bump steer point, or the desired bump steer value (positive or negative) throughout the full travel range.
2. Preparation for Graphical Representation: Although the instrument itself provides a digital readout, the exact data can be recorded, which can later be used for graphic representation of the suspension characteristics (e.g., with the help of software), aiding in design and checking the effects of changes.
3. Repeatability: Digital measurement guarantees that the same setting will yield the same result, which is critical in racing series where settings must be consistent.

Travel Measurement

Measuring the wheel travel is essential for determining the maximum and minimum points of the suspension. The gauge precisely records:

• Maximum Compression: The full inward movement of the wheel.
• Maximum Extension: The total outward movement of the wheel (e.g., when one side of the vehicle lifts).

The digital display immediately shows the total travel range, which helps in determining the correct positioning of the spring preload, shock absorber characteristics, and bump stops.

Application Areas

This precision measuring device is the ideal choice for professionals working in the following areas:

• Race Teams (Formula, NASCAR, GT, Rally): For optimizing the smallest suspension adjustments, where millimeters can be decisive.
• Professional Suspension Tuning Shops: For setting up customer vehicles where precision and documentation are crucial.
• Vehicle Development and Prototype Manufacturing: For testing and verifying new suspension geometries.
• Authorized Service Centers: For providing high-level diagnostic and adjustment services.

Additional Information and Compatible Tools

Intercomp Racing offers a wide selection of accessories and systems that support the measurement process, with which this digital gauge can be perfectly integrated:

• Billet Scale Systems: The basis for suspension setup is knowledge of the exact weight distribution. Compatible weighing systems (e.g., SW777RFX™, SW700™ XBT™) ensure that geometric adjustments are made under the correct load ratios.
• Precision Hub Plate Systems: These systems ensure the perfect horizontal positioning of the vehicle during measurements, which is essential for the accuracy of bump steer measurement.
• Apps & Software: Software available for processing and checking recorded data (e.g., RACEWEIGH) further increases the value of the tool.
• Storage Solutions: Special transport cases ensure the safe transport and storage of the expensive and precise instrument.

This Digital Travel and Bump Steer Gauge is not just a tool, but an investment in achieving maximum performance in suspension technology. Digital accuracy and Intercomp Racing quality guarantee that every adjustment is made at the highest level.
