Road Simulation

MTS road simulation systems precisely reproduce the extreme force and motions associated with ground vehicle durability environments.

MTS Spindle-Coupled Road Simulator
Use proven, state-of-the-art fatigue simulators to control motion and forces in six degrees of freedom at the test vehicle spindles.  This level of control generates the most accurate simulation of force and motion on suspension and body parts.  Quickly and accurately obtain complete simulation information for modeling, analysis, design, and virtual testing.  Our solutions are easy to use, accurate and offer repeatable results.

MTS Tire-Coupled Road Simulator
The MTS Tire-Coupled Road Simulator is a uniquely efficient tool for evaluating suspension components, squeaks and rattles, ride quality, and vehicle durability.  Drive-on vehicle loading simplifies test set-up and provides quick turnaround during suspension tuning or squeak and rattle evaluations.  Mechanical and control components meet the challenges of multi-purpose test environments, with automated test conversion between durability and ride quality testing.

MTS SWIFT® Wheel Force Transducer
The MTS family of SWIFT wheel force transducers can accommodate vehicles as small as motorcycles and as large as heavy trucks.  With minimal preparation, obtain complete spindle load data with unmatched accuracy and fidelity.  Mount MTS sensors on test vehicles to capture load data as vehicles are driven over proving grounds.
