The Ascher Racing Gen4 Clutch Paddles are a pair of analogue clutch paddles with non-contact position sensing and 12-bit resolution, designed for maximum control on custom sim racing wheels and high-end Direct Drive bases.
They can be configured as clutch, throttle, brake or a versatile analogue control, and their non-contact technology — with no moving electronic parts — delivers a direct, progressive and consistent response with unlimited service life. CNC-machined from aerospace-grade aluminium with preloaded ball bearings, they run smoothly and play-free, ideal for launch starts, manual traction control or twin-clutch setups.

Compatibility
The Gen4 Clutch Paddles are particularly suited to integration into custom wheels or high-end Direct Drive bases that accept a proportional analogue voltage signal. The power supply is selectable at 3.3 V (default) or 5.0 V DC — in 5.0 V mode the jumper must be removed — and they support off-centre actuation and asymmetric configuration. We recommend checking electronic compatibility with the wheel's controller board or input system. They ship as a pair (2 units) with fastening material.
FAQ
What can these paddles be used for?
