Multi-axis force measurement in tire test machines

Note: Multi-axis load cell 8561 installed in a tyre uniformity measuring machine RGM-E of company Hofmann Maschinen- und Anlagenbau GmbH from Worms/Germany.

  • Measuring ranges X: 1500 lbs, Y: 1000 Ibs
  • Cross-talk < 0.5 % F.S.
  • Up to 100 million load cycles
  • 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.
