Using Wheel Force Transducers with Road Simulators

Road simulators are an effective method of testing the dynamics and durability of a vehicle by reproducing real-world driving conditions while in a controlled, laboratory setting. Engineers use the information collected from the simulations to determine the necessary modifications and changes needed to improve vehicle design. While simulators are an advantageous tool, without an appropriate method of calculating Read More …

Measuring Load Transfer Using Wheel Force Transducers

The drive home is becoming smoother and faster thanks to the Michigan Scientific Corporation (MSC) Wheel Force Transducer (WFT). By measuring vehicle loads during normal driving operations, these transducers provide data and information to help make cars and other vehicles Read More …

Telemetry Applications

Michigan Scientific telemetry packages can be found in many different industries; from automotive and aerospace, to military and heavy equipment. Specific applications include brake testing, efficiency testing, fatigue analysis, and powertrain testing. Since MSC telemetry systems are used in so Read More …
