Force and Torque measurement at the wheel

The wheel is a common place to measure force, torque, and speed.

Measurements at the wheel are crucial for agriculture vehicle testing including: computer model validations, durability testing, power comparisons, traction studies and power efficiency measurements.

Wheel Force Transducers

Michigan Scientific Corporation Wheel Force Transducers (WFT) output three forces, three moments, two accelerations, wheel speed, and wheel position signals to provide complete spindle load data with extreme accuracy. Every system combines a high strength, lightweight transducer with weatherproofed protective coatings for superior reliability and durability in a variety of field and weather conditions.

Wheel Torque Transducers

Michigan Scientific Corporation designs and manufactures highly sensitive Wheel Torque Transducers to measure drive and braking torque. The transducers are attached to adapters that duplicate the critical dimensions of the original rim and hub. Due to the high strength material and weatherproof sealing, the assemblies can be used in all field conditions.
