Description

The LW-1T-25K Wheel Load Transducer is capable of measuring all of the wheel forces and moments on class 8 trucks. It provides independent output signals for vertical, lateral, and longitudinal forces as well as camber, steer and torque moments. It is completely weatherproof making it ideal for on-road and off-road measurements. It can also be used to monitor and control laboratory tests. Two sensors are required for a dual wheel set, one for each tire.

An amplifier package is available that bolts on to, and rotates with, the LW-1T-25K Wheel Load Transducer. The amplifiers provide high level signals and remote electrical calibration.

High grade stainless steel material and weatherproof sealing combine to provide excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental conditions. Temperature compensation of the wheel load transducer ensures stable output throughout a wide temperature range.

Ordering Options

Custom designs with alternative output sensitivities and load capacities may also be ordered.

Michigan Scientific offers a fully weatherproof slip ring, resolver, and amplifier instrumentation assembly to be used with all wheel torque or load transducers. Refer to the product literature section “Instrumentation Assemblies” for more information.
