Road simulators are an effective method of testing the dynamics and durability of a vehicle by reproducing real-world driving conditions while in a controlled, laboratory setting. Engineers use the information collected from the simulations to determine the necessary modifications and changes needed to improve vehicle design. While simulators are an advantageous tool, without an appropriate method of calculating Read More …
Powertrain efficiency is determined by how power is transmitted, transformed, and lost as it moves from the power source to the road. Quantifying those losses requires torque and speed measurements at multiple locations, captured under real operating conditions and correlated Read More …
Having the right tools for a job is essential for being able to get the desired results from a test. A single point load cell is used to measure forces in a single direction. For more complex force measurements, a multi-axis Read More …
The drive home is becoming smoother and faster thanks to the Michigan Scientific Corporation (MSC) Wheel Force Transducer (WFT). By measuring vehicle loads during normal driving operations, these transducers provide data and information to help make cars and other vehicles Read More …
Now more than ever, safety is one of the most important aspects of vehicle manufacturing. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) continue to improve, making vehicles safer every year. Sensors and systems for braking, traction control, and handling help drivers maintain 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 …
Sometimes getting the perfect measurements may require getting creative with your testing set-up. One of the easiest ways to elevate your test is by combining multiple instruments. The Michigan Scientific Three Axis Load Cells (TR3Ds) are compact transducers that measure Read More …
Cranes are crucial to lifting and lowering large and heavy objects, an integral part of innovation. Determining whether or not the crane can handle a specific load is essential to crane safety. Michigan Scientific provides accurate and reliable load cells 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 …
Proper instrumentation is a key component to modern innovation. Instrumentation is used to measure and control different variables. This allows companies and individuals to gather reliable measurements during testing. Accurate instrumentation systems measure variables such as temperature, flow, angle, force, Read More …
