Automotive Solutions
“We supply wide variety of Automotive transducers and equipements like – Steering Torque Transducer, Braking Pedal Force Transducer, Wheel Torque Transducer etc.”
Among all the mechanisms in an automobile, there are many items to measure for the maintenance of the power source of a car, the engine, and electrical components. Other things need to be measured as well such as the effectiveness of the power transfer to the drive wheels, driving stability that determines riding comfort, and braking that controls movement. We offer automotive measuring systems having in-driving automotive instrumentation fulfilling most of the needs of automobile manufacture’s, and thus allow you to have an all-in-one system built incorporating even a recorder and PC. Upon your request, we also supply steering torque transducers, power window force transducers, etc.
The wheel alignment measuring system is composed of a transducer WAD-1B and an exclusive measuring instrument WAM-1A. By installing the transducer WAD-1B with a 6-component wheel force transducer, simultaneous measurement of displacement in orthogonal 3 directions at wheel center, steering angle and camber angle is possible. Measurement results are output as analog voltage from the measuring instrument WAM-1A in real time. The WAM-1A is available for installation on a car. It is connected to a PC via USB interface, and operations ranging from setting to measurement are done on a PC.
Simultaneous control up to 4 units of WAM-1A is possible.Control software WAM-701A is supplied as a standard accessory. Since the voltage output is acceptable by optionally available Multi Recorder TMR-200, monitoring of wave form is possible using the display unit TMR-281.
This transducer measures axial strain of steering tie-rod of a car and consists of two types FGAH-1B-R and FGAH-1B-H for which a cross section of the rod is round shape or hexagon’s.
It is also suited to measure axial strain of a tension rod used in aseismic reinforcement structure or in steel frame structure. Since frictional strain gauges are used in this transducer, installation is completed and it gets ready for measurement by merely pinching the rod with the transducer, without detaching the rod. There is no need of technical skill and complicated works for attaching strain gauges on the rod.
Torque Sensor System measures torque on the drive shaft of a car. Frictional strain gauges are used as sensing elements, and installation is completed by clamping the torque sensor system onto an existing shaft and securing it with a screw. There is no need of detaching the shaft, bonding nor wiring strain gauges for installation. The system is applicable to shafts having diameter of 20~30, 30~40 and 40~50 mm using spacers together, which are available as options.
A digital telemetry transmitter is built in the sensor, and measured data are transmitted to an exclusive receiver DT-182R by wireless and output as analog signals. For wireless transmission, 2.4GHz band advanced low power data communication system is used.
