Capabilities
Michigan Scientific provides accredited calibration services for strain-gauge based load cells and transducers from nearly any manufacturer.
- ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited calibration services
- Calibration for 1- to 6-axis strain gauge based load cells and transducers from nearly any manufacturer
- Advanced in-house multi-axis calibration systems
- Accurate and traceable calibration results
- Typical turnaround time of 1–2 weeks
- Longer turnaround times for load cells not previously calibrated by Michigan Scientific and requiring development of custom fixturing
Patented Technology
Michigan Scientific utilizes a patented Transducer Calibration and Test machine (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)
- Uses the TCAT to apply loads with linear actuators
- Measures load 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 100,000 lb
- Ensures 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
