Slip-ring Type
6-Component Wheel Force Measuring System
The 6-Component Wheel Force Measuring System
is comprised of the 6-Component Wheel Force
Transducer and the exclusive 6-component force
analyzer. Depending on how the 6-component force
is detected, there are two types available, the slipring
type and the digital telemetry type. The slip-ring
6-Component Wheel Force Measuring System is the
combination of the 6-Component Wheel Force
Transducer SLW-NC and the 6-Component Force
Analyzer MFT-306 or MFT-306R. The MFT-306 is a
miniature model (160(W)x25(H)x75(D) mm.)
Setting and monitor viewing are done on a PC,
controlling up to 4 analyzers. The other model, MFT-
306R, can record measurements using the CF card.
After measuring and computing the 6-component
force, measurement data and the tire rotation count
can be output in voltage form and digitally recorded
to the CF card. The CF card can perform recording
with up to 4 analyzers synchronously and can also
synchronize with the Smart Dynamic Strain Recorder
DC-204R.

Slip-ring type SLW-NC 6-Component Wheel Force Transducer
The 6-Component Wheel Force Transducer is a thin
lightweight load cell, which measures an external force
passed to the tires while in motion from the road surface
by breaking it down into orthogonal three-component
forces and also into three moments around it, can take
high-precision measurements in every driving condition
using the load detection area in which a strain gauge is
strategically applied, the slip-ring and the rotary
encoder's fitting area, which are designed with full
consideration to vibration resistance, and a waterproof
structure. This transducer is used with the exclusive 6-
component force analyzer MFT-306/-306R to show the
6-component force with the car body as the reference for
the coordinates. The encoder required for the computation
of these angles is built in and also the slip-ring hold
mechanism for maintaining the encoder at a constant
reference position with respect to the car body is
provided as an accessory.
Features
- High stability
- Light weight
- Possible installation to various vehicles using exclusive rim and hub adaptor
- Easy fixture to a real car
- Waterproof construction making driving in the rain possible
Miniature 6-Component Force Analyzer MFT-306
The Miniature 6-Component Force Analyzer MFT-306 uses the 6-
Component Wheel Force Transducers attached to the axle shafts to
input an external force passed to the tires from a road surface on
the basis of an orthogonal three-component force and also of the
three moments around it. After being converted into digital form,
the input signals are used to digitally compute the crosstalk
correction between each component force and the rotation correction
with the encoder's rotation signal. The 6-component force
and tire rotation count signals are output in voltage form through
the front panel's output connector. Setting and monitor viewing
are done on a PC, controlling 6-Component Force Analyzers up to
4 units. After they are set, the analyzer can perform measurements
by itself with the PC disconnected.
Features
- Small and lightweight - Reduction of installation area
- High-speed operation of crosstalk, rotation correction, etc.
- 6-component force data, tire rotation count signal output in voltage form
- Forward and backward measurement possible with this encoder
- 6-Component Wheel Force Transducer characteristics data set by PC
- Up to 4 controllable units
CF card recording 6-Component Force Analyzer MFT-306R
The CF card recording 6-Component Force Analyzer MFT-306R
also uses the 6-Component Wheel Force Transducer to measure a
6-component force passed to the tires from the road surface, just
like the MFT-306. After computation, the 6-component force
measurement data and tire rotation count are output in voltage
form and digitally recorded to the CF card. The USB port is used to
connect to a PC for various settings, monitoring, and the
importing/processing of recorded data. The CF card can perform
recording with up to 4 analyzers synchronously and can also
synchronize with our DC-204R and DC-204Ra.
Features
- High-speed operation of crosstalk, rotation correction, etc.
- 6-component force data, tire rotation count signal output in voltage form
- Forward and backward measurement possible with this encoder
- 6-Component Wheel Force Transducer characteristics data set by PC
- Up to 4 controllable units
- Start-to-stop data recorded in a CF card
- Synchronous recording of up to 4 units and synchronous measuring of up to 8 units when combined with the DC-204R
