The handbrake features a sophisticated two-stage resistance system:
Stage 1
An adjustable coil spring simulates:
- Pad-to-disc clearance
- Handbrake cable slack
- Initial lever movement
Stage 2
Custom Heusinkveld elastomers provide:
- Progressive resistance
- Realistic force build-up
- Improved modulation
Three elastomer options are included:

FAQs
What is the Heusinkveld Sim Handbrake?
The Heusinkveld Sim Handbrake is a professional-grade load cell handbrake designed for sim racing, rally, drifting, and driver training applications. It uses a 120kg load cell to provide realistic force-based handbrake operation and exceptional precision.
How much force can the handbrake handle?
The handbrake uses a 120kg load cell and can measure up to 22kg of actual force at the lever, providing a realistic motorsport-style handbrake feel.
Is the Heusinkveld Handbrake pressure-sensitive?
Yes. Unlike position-based handbrakes, the Heusinkveld Sim Handbrake is force-sensitive, measuring how hard you pull the lever rather than how far it moves. This delivers greater realism and improved control.
