Michigan Scientific’s Sensors are precision instruments designed to measure key vehicle dynamics parameters such as wheel speed, rotation, and side slip. These sensors are essential for applications in vehicle testing, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) development, tire evaluation, and navigation support. Read More …
What do strain gauges measure? The first thing to understand when discussing strain gauges is what they measure. A strain gauge is a sensor whose measured electrical resistance varies with changes in strain. Strain is the deformation or displacement of Read More …
On-vehicle measurements are a critical part of the design validation process when developing a new vehicle. One important test is measuring torque through drive axles. These torque measurements can be made on half-shaft axles for front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive vehicles, or Read More …
In 1960, Michigan Scientific Corporation opened its doors and began selling Instrumentation Slip Rings. From there the company continued to push the limits of what their product could do, even going as far as making a 240-channel assembly used to Read More …
Michigan Scientific has had an astounding year for the Wheel Force Transducer (WFT) product line. WFTs are an ideal tool for measuring the three forces and three moments on a large variety of vehicles. We have made many advancements in Read More …
Charelvoix, MI- United States Senator Gary Peters stopped by the Michigan Scientific Corporation’s (MSC) Charelvoix branch as a part of his RideMI motorcycle tour. Senator Peters, a member of the Democratic Party, expressed the importance of small businesses and their Read More …
Today’s modern engine compartments are optimized to consume nearly every cubic inch of space under the hood. This limited space makes it difficult to add instrumentation that measure engine and transmission mount forces, without compromising the engine position. Michigan Scientific Read More …
Not all testing situations have to be complicated. Some of the most useful tests actually have a simple set up. Michigan Scientific end of shaft slip ring assemblies are commonly used in simple tests to measure torque in a pulley Read More …
Ever wonder just how much testing went into developing all of the cars that drive around? Each vehicle model goes through extensive brake testing and efficiency testing, just to name a few. These tests involve many rotating components. Michigan Scientific Read More …
Load cells are transducers that convert an applied force into measured electrical signal. They are also used to track the changes in this force over time. Some applications require two, or more, 3D load cells to be used at a time, Read More …
