Michigan Scientific has extensive experience in instrumenting suspension components to accurately measure forces in individual suspension components and chassis. Our transducers are engineered to minimize crosstalk and reduce sensitivity to boundary conditions and mounting effects.

The specific component selected for instrumentation depends on both the component’s geometry and the suspension layout. Our experience allows us to identify which components will yield the most accurate and meaningful force measurements for each design. Michigan Scientific offers free consultations and quotes for this type of work.

All complex components will go through FEA to determine the optimal strain gauge type and placement. This promotes high-quality strain gauge output and minimizes crosstalk. Every transducer is temperature compensated and coated with a durable, waterproof coating to ensure long-term reliability in demanding environment.
