• Custom measuring ranges available on request
• Standardized rated outputs for easy replacement

Task

Vehicle tire testing places particular demands on our load cells. Measurements must be acquired and analyzed simultaneously in two directions, X and Y, which demands low cross-talk between the two channels. The other challenge is posed by the very large number of load cycles. In the event of a fault, maintenance staff must be able to replace the sensors quickly and reliably to minimize down times.
