OMS Race – 2-Axis Sensor for Motorsport

The OMS Race is a compact, lightweight 2-axis optical sensor system that combines optical and inertial (IMU) measurement technologies. It delivers precise and reliable parameters essential for motorsport applications, including slip angle measurements with an outstanding accuracy of <0.1°. With its user-friendly design, the sensor eliminates the need for roll-in or waiting for GPS—simply connect and start measuring.

The OMS7 Race is a combination of the OMS Race ECU and the OMS7 Sensor Head. For example, Mercedes chooses this product because the ECU is very small and robust, while the OMS7 Sensor Head offers great versatility. (See the datasheet under documentation.)

Key Features:

• Speed measurement up to 450 km/h / 280 mph
• Angular Rates Y/Z
• Point of Interest (POI) measurements
• Distance measurement (e.g., Braking Distance)
• Pitch Angle measurement
• Multiple other calculated parameters
• Acceleration X/Z
• Roll Angle

The OMS Race sensor is a durable and lightweight non-contact optical sensor integrated with advanced inertial measurement technology. Building on the proven technology of the OMS 7, the OMS Race has been miniaturized to provide unparalleled weight savings, making it perfect for motorsport environments where every gram counts.

Thanks to its integration with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and enhanced signal processing, the OMS Race offers exceptional accuracy and reduced noise levels compared to other products in the market. This combination results in highly reliable data even in extreme racing conditions.
