What Is Sensor Linearity? Why It Matters for Shock Travel & Motorsports Data

When it comes to precision measurement in motorsports, sensor accuracy is everything—and linearity plays a critical role. In this video, we break down what linearity means, how it affects your data, and why it matters when using shock travel sensors, suspension position sensors, and other motorsports instrumentation. Learn how a sensor’s output should track movement, what non-linearity looks like in real-world applications, and how it can impact your tuning decisions. We also walk through a real example using the ILPS-19 Series LVIT shock travel sensor, showing how ±0.15% non-linearity translates into actual measurement error—and why that level of precision matters on track. If you're working with suspension tuning, pedal position tracking, or data acquisition systems, understanding linearity is key to getting accurate, repeatable results.
