Description

The LW90 Wheel Force Transducer (WFT) is capable of measuring all of the wheel forces and moments on light and heavy duty pickup trucks vans and SUVs. It provides independent output signals for vertical, lateral, and longitudinal forces as well as camber, steer, and torque moments. Completely weatherproof, it is ideal for on-road and off-road measurements in all conditions. It can also be used to monitor and control laboratory tests. The LW90 can be used on single wheels 14 inch and larger or dual wheel sets 16 inch and larger. One WFT measures the loads acting on a single wheel or the combined loads acting on a dual wheel assembly.

When using an outboard slip ring, the amplifier package easily mounts onto the transducer. It amplifies and digitizes the transducer signals before they pass through the slip ring. Michigan Scientific Slip Ring Assemblies are known worldwide for their signal quality and robust design.

The CT3 User Interface Box performs real-time coordinate transformation and crosstalk compensation, and provides CAN-FD, CAN2.0, and Ethernet signal outputs. EtherCAT and Analog signal outputs are also available with optional modules. An embedded webpage accessed via USB allows the user to easily configure the WFT system. A front display indicates important information and prompts the user with instructions
