6 Axis Wheel Force Transducer - 35,6 kN - ATV and Small Vehicle

Introduction

The LW9.5 Wheel Force Transducer (WFT) is capable of measuring all of the wheel forces and moments on ATV’s, utility and other lightweight vehicles. It provides independent output signals for vertical, lateral, and longitudinal forces as well as camber, steer and torque moments. The system is completely weatherproof, making it ideal for off-road measurements. It can also be used to monitor and control laboratory tests.

Performance and Housing

The matching amplifier package easily mounts onto the transducer. It amplifies and digitizes the transducer signals before they pass through the slip ring. The amplifier package also includes X and Z acceleration outputs and performs remote shunt calibration of the transducer.
