Simagic TB-1 Handbrake - high-precision 100 kg loadcell sensor

High-precision 100 kg loadcell

The TB-1 measures the force of your pull on a loadcell rated up to 100 kg, instead of tracking lever position. Force-based input works with your muscle memory - the same pull always produces the same amount of handbrake, which is exactly what repeatable drift entries and rally hairpins need.

Simagic TB-1 Handbrake - 2-stage resistance system

2-stage resistance system

Simagic's signature 2-stage design simulates the resistance of a real car handbrake, with damping you can adjust to taste. The resistance strength is set by swapping the rubber elastomers - custom compounds resist fatigue and keep their elasticity, and the assembly comes apart in moments for a quick change.

Simagic TB-1 Handbrake - dual mode lever switching

Dual-mode lever

Switch the lever between a vertical position for rally and drift or a horizontal position for street-car setups - the handle flips by removing and re-inserting the M6 bolts. The 22 mm handle itself is removable and compatible with third-party replacements, so the grip can match the car you drive.

Simagic TB-1 Handbrake - full metal CNC aluminium construction

Full metal construction, plug and play

Precision CNC machining produces a solid aluminium alloy structure that holds its rigidity even under hard pulls. Connection is a single USB-C cable to the PC - plug and play - or directly to a Simagic wheelbase, with fine-tuning available in the free SimPro Manager software.

What our customers say about this product

FAQs

Is the Simagic TB-1 compatible with Xbox or PlayStation?

No - the TB-1 is PC only. It connects over USB-C plug and play, or directly to a Simagic wheelbase; fine-tuning is available in the free SimPro Manager software.

Simagic TB-1 or TB-RS - what is the difference?

The TB-1 is a loadcell handbrake: it measures the force of your pull on a 100 kg loadcell with a 2-stage elastomer resistance - repeatable, low-maintenance and more affordable. The TB-RS uses a real hydraulic damper for a 1:1 hydraulic handbrake feel, with nine elastomers and four stiffness settings. Force precision - TB-1; maximum authenticity - TB-RS.

Can the TB-1 lever be used horizontally?

Yes - the lever is dual-mode: vertical for rally and drift, horizontal for street-style setups, switched by re-inserting the M6 bolts. The 22 mm handle is removable and compatible with third-party replacements.

How do I mount the TB-1?

The base has 4 M6 threaded holes and 6 M6 through-holes; a screw kit with roll-in T-nuts for aluminium profiles is included, so it bolts to a rig or any flat surface out of the box. Side mounting is possible via the optional Simagic L-shaped bracket.

How does the resistance adjustment work?

The 2-stage system simulates a real handbrake pull: resistance strength is set by swapping the included rubber elastomers, and the damping is adjustable on top. The custom compounds resist fatigue, and the assembly comes apart in moments for a quick change.
