Heusinkveld – Road to Sim Pedals Sprint

Back in September at the 2018 Sim Racing Expo, Heusinkveld Engineering proudly announced their new HE Sim Pedals Sprint which replaced the popular but older HE Sim Pedals Pro set. In a recent video, Heusinkveld staff members Niels, Svend, and Remco talk about the development, assembly and the software of the Sim Pedals Sprint.

The Sim Pedals Sprint are available via the Heusinkveld web-store.

Sim Pedals Sprint Features:

Heusinkveld Sim Pedals Sprint are a perfect choice for both casual sim-racers as well as eSports professionals. A strong, compact and highly adjustable design with custom electronics and powerful SmartControl software. Fully adjustable pedal geometry and force (up to 65kg at the brake), limitless configuration options in the software.

The Sim Pedals Sprint are a strong, compact and highly adjustable design, with the main parts made out of CNC precision laser cut steel. Mathematical models were made to accurately calculate pedal travel and force curves, predicting with great accuracy how each pedal behaves in different configurations.

All metal profiles either have a RAL7016 Anthracite Grey fine-structure powder coat or a bead blasted semi-gloss metallic look.

 

  

 

The pedals include all new concepts for bearings and pivot points in order to minimize unnecessary play. Automated testing routines have been used to simulate up to 1 million duty cycles.

Durable load cells measure throttle and clutch position and force applied to the brake. Unlike designs with rotary potentiometers, load cells provide true linear output in relation to your pedal output. They are insensitive to dust and dirt and do not wear out, resulting in unmatched accuracy and durability over time.

 

  

 

Custom developed and EMC tested electronics make sure each pedal responds instantly and accurately in your favorite simulator software. The included SmartControl software allows easy configuration of dead-zones, brake force and customize (non-linear) pedal output curves.

 

  

With the Sim Pedals Sprint being able to cope with high brake loads, a sturdy mount to your simulator rig is an absolute must. If you do not want to mount the pedals directly to your rig but want to put them on a baseplate first, we offer an optional rigid mounting solution. The Sim Pedals Sprint base-plate allows for flexible positioning of individual pedals and also comes with an adjustable heel plate.
