Light Truck WFT
 
 

Light Truck (WFT-LT-AL & WFT-SUV-XL)

These WFTs come in two capacities (detailed below) and are designed for use on standard duty trucks and SUVs. The rugged single-piece transducer design provides high accuracy and superior performance in a durable water-resistant package. They can be fit with slip-ring or telemetry signal transmission. With on-board signal conditioning and calibration circuitry for each channel of data measurement, their setup and use with the MOPS-TIU interface package can be accomplished in a few minutes per wheel. The MOPS-TIU can be used as a standalone data acquisition package or can be used to interface to existing data acquisition systems.

The WFT-LT-AL can measure loads up to 40 kN (9,000 Lbs.) and 6.5 kNm (60,000 Lb-In); the WFT-SUV-XL can measure loads up to 44 kN (10,000 lbs.) and 7.5 kNm (66,000 lb-in). They mount to the vehicle hub via a custom hub adapter and accept modified rims mounting standard vehicle tires.
