WFT Overview
Six-Component Force and Torque Measurement
Wheel force transducers are mounted between hub and rim to capture longitudinal, lateral, and vertical forces together with moments in real-time motion.
They support vehicle dynamics development, tire studies, and road-load acquisition where high-accuracy multiaxial data is critical.
Types Of Wheel Force Transducer
