Slip-ring Type Miniature 6-Component Force Analyzer MFT-306

Miniature 6-Component Force Analyzer MFT-306

The miniature 6-component force analyzer MFT-306 is connected to a 6-component wheel force transducer and receives force signals as three-component force and three moments around the force axes. Corrections are digitally processed for mutual interference between components and for rotation based on the rotation signal from the encoder. Signals of 6 components and tire rotation count are output from the connectors on the front panel as analog voltage. Setting and monitor viewing are done on a PC, controlling up to 4 units of 6-component force analyzer. After the setting, the analyzers can perform measurements by themselves without a PC.

Miniature 6-Component Force Analyzer MFT-306
Features
  • Constructed small and light to save the installation space
  • High speed operation of correcting mutual interference and rotation
  • Voltage output of 6-component data and tire rotation
  • Forward and backward measurement possible with the encoder
  • Characteristics data of 6-component wheel force transducer are set by a PC
  • Control possible for up to 4 units
