Description

The LW12.8 Wheel Load Transducer is capable of measuring all of the wheel forces and moments on passenger cars and light duty trucks. It provides independent output signals for vertical, lateral, and longitudinal forces as well as camber, steer, and torque moments.

The LW12.8 Wheel Load Transducer uses the same inner and outer bolt patterns as the TW12.8 Wheel Torque Transducer, therefore, it can be used with wheel and hub adapters that may already exist when additional force and moment measurements are required.

An optional amplifier package is available that bolts directly to the LW12.8 Load Wheel Transducer. The amplifier provides high level signals and remote electrical calibration on the rotating side of a slip ring.

High grade stainless steel material and weatherproof sealing combine to provide excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental conditions making it ideal for on-road measurements; it can also be used to monitor and control laboratory tests. Temperature compensation of the wheel load transducer ensures stable output throughout a wide temperature range. In addition, all wires are precisely located to reduce sensitivity to magnetic effects.
