Measuring efficiency is important for the development of any vehicle, but when it comes to commercial trucks vehicle efficiency can quickly determine the feasibility of the vehicle for potential buyers. From Wheel Torque Transducers, distance measurement instruments, slip rings, telemetry, and custom strain gauge transducers; our products are designed to provide optimal data collection from rotating components. Common applications our instruments and expertise are utilized include studying parasitic losses such as; rolling resistance, brake drag, aerodynamic drag, and bearing drag. Knowing these values is crucial for analyzing CO2 emissions and fuel consumption in highway trucks.
Overview
Michigan Scientific instruments products to help companies improve their efficiency and reliability. This is done by collecting data for product, component, or system development. Data collection can take place during specialized tests or while in the hands of customers to better understand the actual product usage in the real-world environment.
On-vehicle measurements are a critical part of the design validation process when developing a new vehicle. Michigan Scientific Corporation (MSC) specializes in instrumenting production parts and manufacturing Slip Ring Assemblies and Wireless Telemetry Systems for transferring the signal from these spinning parts.
Michigan Scientific’s model TWHR2000 is the optimal tool for measuring low torque values for the purpose of studying parasitic losses such as; rolling resistance, brake drag, aerodynamic drag, and bearing drag.
