For Ride and Handling Test Applications
PCB Load & Torque, Inc., Model 5610-10A Instrumented Steering Wheel Systems for vehicles are developed from a standard steering wheel to enable true-to-life data measurements. The telemetry-based steering wheel with supplied adaptors can be installed in the same position as the OEM steering wheel to provide similar ergonomic feel and driving dynamics. The unit is equipped with integrated sensors to measure angle, angular rate, and torque. The vehicle’s active Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is fully supported and not compromised. Model 5610-10A units provide advanced integrated function keys, which include auto-zero for steering angle and steering torque, shunt calibration, and function lock. Four switches allow the unit multiple user-programmable controlling options. Equipped with an integrated inductive power supply, Model 5610-10A Instrumented Steering Wheel Systems provide continuous running wireless operation.
The accompanying compact signal conditioning unit is designed for use where space is at a premium. Measured signals are retrieved directly from the signal conditioner via electrically isolated connectors. An optional CAN interface, for integration with data acquisition systems, or a USB interface used with computers, are available for further data recording and analysis.
As with all PCB® instrumentation, these sensors are complemented with toll-free applications assistance, 24-hour customer service, and are backed by a no-risk policy that guarantees total customer satisfaction or your money refunded.
