Presentation

Vehicle load measurements using three axis load cells

The presentation will be about making load measurements using three axis load cells for vehicle development. Discussed will be vehicle testing applications that can be accomplished utilizing load cells. This will include the mounting of load cells, required fixtures, and presenting load cell output (measurements) from actual vehicle testing. Specific applications that will be looked at include measuring three directional forces into vehicle seating systems, engine mounts, and trailer hitches. These testing applications provide measurements that can be used in vehicle development and validation.
