Mounting of LT110 Ride Height Sensor

There are several options for mounting a ride height sensor on a vehicle. Most applications have the sensor mounted on the front end of the vehicle to measure when a car is about to wheelstand.

When mounting the sensor on the front of the vehicle, you will likely have some options on the exact location. If the sensor is mounted in-line with the front wheels, the ride height will have a 1:1 correlation with a shock travel sensor.

Mounting the sensor further forward in the nose of the car will provide a more sensitive measurement of the ride height.

The best mounting position for the LT110 sensor is with the logo fore-aft in the vehicle. Angling the sensor a few degrees from perpendicular to the ground can also help with reliable measurement when road or racetrack conditions are highly reflective or shiny.

The most simple option of sensor mounting is the PN LT110-SSCO bracket which is generally hose clamped to a chassis tube. This bracket can be installed in minutes, even at a race track.

An adjustable bracket that can be bolted on is the LT110-SS90. This bracket bolts to either the bottom or side mounting holes of the LT110 sensor and an be bolted to any chassis feature where the two #10-32 screws can be attached. Rivet nuts can be installed in the chassis to make it even easier to attach the sensor bracket.

Finally for chassis builders there is a weld on tab, PN LT110-MSWD. This tab can be welded to the chassis for permanent mounting of the ride height sensor in a given orientation. The weld on tab can be bolted to the sensor in two different configurations, either horizontally to the bottom of the sensor or vertically to the back of the sensor..

Also note the position that the 90deg cable comes off the the LT110 sensor. The cable will come off the back right corner of the sensor, as viewed from the top, when the logo is toward you.
