Military Vehicle Research and Development

Michigan Scientific provides instrumentation capable of being used in extreme operational conditions.  Backed by decades of reliable design and manufacturing, MSC instrumentation is robust enough to withstand the rigorous testing required for military equipment in the field. MSC has measuring devices for almost any force, strain, or torque testing, from standard transducers and signal transmission equipment to custom solutions. 

Overview

MSC’s transducers are utilized to gather data from real-world loading conditions on military vehicle components, such as engines, drivetrains, and suspension systems. These sensors accurately measure forces and torques, allowing engineers to assess component reliability, identify potential failures, and enhance overall vehicle durability.

Tracked vehicles often operate in harsh and unpredictable environments. MSC Wheel Force Transducers are engineered to withstand these conditions, providing accurate measurements even in extreme temperatures, vibrations, and rugged terrains. This durability ensures that the transducers perform reliably in the field. Tracked vehicles often operate with varying loads, such as equipment or cargo. WFTs provide real-time information on load distribution across the wheels, allowing engineers to ensure structural integrity and stability. From small, amphibious unmanned vehicles to heavy tactical vehicles, Michigan Scientific offers Wheel Force Transducers designed to fit the size and weight requirements of nearly any type of wheel.
