  • Force calibration capacities up to 150,000 lb in FX, Fy, and Fz
  • Moment calibration capacities up to 150,000 lb-ft in Mx, My, and Mz
  • Advanced in-house multi-axis calibration systems
  • Accurate and traceable calibration results
  • Typical turnaround time of 1–2 weeks*

Patented Technology

Michigan Scientific utilizes a patented Transducer Calibration and Test machines (TCAT) that produces highly accurate and consistent results and significantly expedites calibration time, allowing for a faster turnaround and return to our customers. 

  • Calibration of multi-axis load cells, Wheel Force Transducers (WFTs), and Wheel Torque Transducers (WTTs)
  • Apply loads with linear actuators
  • Measures load reacted through the transducer using reaction links
  • Applies and calibrates all six load components:
    • Three forces (Fx, Fy, Fz)
    • Three moments (Mx, My, Mz)
  • Capable of applying forces and moments up to 40,000 lb and 40,000 lb-ft
  • Provide comprehensive multi-axis transducer calibration across a wide range of load conditions

Dedicated Torque Calibration Stand

Our torque calibration system applies known torque values and measures electrical output to create accurate, traceable torque-to-voltage calibration curves.

  • Calibration capacity up to 6,000 lb-ft
  • Ideal for driveline and vehicle drive components
    • Drive shafts
    • Half shafts
    • Axle shafts
  • Calibration of torque transducers and high-resolution torque wheels
  • Custom fixtures available for virtually any transducer

*Longer turnaround times for load cells not previously calibrated by Michigan Scientific and requiring development of custom fixturing.
