Here are the A/B before and after tests for Tactile response.
I had my signal at 70% of my max output and with me sitting in the seat.
You can see that there is some drop off, but nothing that can't be compensated for with a little extra volume. Although it does seem to drop off more at 70,75,80 Hz, so there does look to be a bit of a stronger attenuation at higher frequncies.
Without linear bearings installed
With Linear bearings installed
The brake deflection results were not a huge difference. The linear bearing dropped the flex by 40%.
The fore/aft springs are further apart than the left / right dimension and when I felt in motion was that side to side motion. So overall, I don't think linear bearings are really needed to improve braking, but I think for motion they do make everything feel more immediate and crisper.
Next, I'll get some measurements with approximately 40lbs of pressure on the brake, without the linear bearings and with them. Then I'm going to bump the power to my CT with the linear bearing to see if I can make it look like it did without.
I need to dust under there!
The vibration sensor mount has a very powerful magnet and I can remove the sensor and put it back and guarantee it's in the same spot. I tried to put it half way between the TST-429 and BK-CT or centered on the plate.
