Learn about a compact, lightweight and durable new sensor that allows small vehicle manufacturers to efficiently collect complete spindle load data. |
Manufacturers of motorcycles, ATVs and other small vehicles face
intense pressure to bring higher-performance products to market
sooner, while also controlling costs. These drivers place newfound
importance on getting precise and affordable assessments of the
loads placed on small vehicles during product development. Mike Schulz, MTS senior product manager, discusses a new, six-axis Spinning Wheel Integrated Force Transducer (SWIFT®)—the world’s smallest—that efficiently addresses the spindle load data-collection needs of small vehicle manufacturers.

As Airbus, Boeing, GE and other original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) in the aerospace industry make it mandatory for material
suppliers to pass cooperative Nadcap audits, tier suppliers are
compelled to produce evidence of compliance to physical test
standards and methodologies required by OEMs. In turn, a heightened
focus has been placed on the maintainability and repeatability of
material test machines to remain tightly aligned within specified
tolerances. |
