![]() ![]() These adjustments can be made without having to recalibrate the handbrake (including iRacing). SmartControl allows for instant mapping of (non-linear) output curves, deadzone and handbrake force. ![]() The Sim Handbrake comes with a powerful configuration tool allowing you to set up your handbrake in ways not previously possible: SmartControl. This makes installation in your simulator much easier. Our new Sim Handbrake has retained the overall lever dimensions of its predecessor, yet can handle a higher force and does this with a much more compact base. A versatile, high quality handbrake system.ĭesigned with CAD and FEA, all structural parts are CNC precision laser cut steel with a bead blasted or fine-structured powder coat finish. A wide range of options to set your preferred mechanical feel, complete freedom to shape the output curve using Heusinkveld SmartControl. When rallying or drifting, you want full control. The new Heusinkveld Sim Handbrake is a highly adjustable, pressure sensitive USB handbrake using load cell technology. Comes with an optional adapter plate with yaw adjustment for aluminium profiles. Adjustable horizontal or vertical lever with fine-tune adjustment. Complete freedom to create custom output curves with Heusinkveld SmartControl. Using Heusinkveld elastomer springs, it has a firm and adjustable progressive feel with up to 22kg of force at the lever (120kg load cell). The all new Heusinkveld Sim Handbrake is a versatile, pressure sensitive USB simulator handbrake using load cell technology. The feel and adjustability of their latest version of the Heusinkveld handbrake makes it the go to handbrake for genuine rally or drift sim fans! So, the verdict is in, and I will be leaving the handbrake in its new position.Heusinkveld absolutely knock it out of the park when it comes to their handbrakes! This due to the different muscle group I was using during its operation. Once my muscle memory adapted to the new position, it was actually easier to employ it. While driving with the handbrake in its new position I immediately liked what I was feeling. Then use an inexpensive belt sander, metal file and sandpaper to bring my rather ruff looking piece of scrap aluminum stock I had laying around the SRG to a finish level that I wouldn’t mind looking at every day. I was able to show how I drill holes, tap threads, cut the aluminum plate to size and add several radiused corners. As you saw in this video, it was not very difficult to get this done with a few tools that many people already have in their garages, or workshops. The only way to get this HE unit mounted in the vertical position was to cant he handbrake at an angle to the shifter lever. But as seen in the previous video I made concerning the combining the SimWorx sequential shifter and the Heusinkveld handbrake that position was not possible if I wanted to keep the handbrake in the same plane as the shifters handle. While using the handbrake in the horizontal position did not create any detrimental effects to my comfort or performance, I couldn’t help thinking that I wanted to try the handbrake in a vertical orientation. Often times you have to have something mounted to your Cockpit to determine if there may be a better way to employ it. I don’t know about you, but it seems that I am always thinking of different ways to tweak my Cockpit set up to improve comfort, stiffness, and its overall performance. ![]()
