Detail Your Project

Dynamic Contact Force Rig

The A&D Dynamic Contact Force Rig is a new testing technology that combines a fully dynamic tire test rig with 3D tire patch force distribution measurement sensors. This new technology provides a unique opportunity to the customer by measuring the dynamic tire patch shape with an A&D 3-component force transducers embedded into the surface of a 3.2 m diameter drum machine. 

The tire test stand is equipped with an A&D 6-component spindle force sensor providing the total forces and moment of the tested tire. The measurements can be recorded while adjusting the road force, camber angle, slip angle, tire speed and tire pressure.  The flexibility of the tire machine and the performance of the sensor allow the capture of the true tire patch data in combination with the total tire performance data.

  • 3.2m diameter drum 
  • Surface embedded 3D Tire Patch Force distribution Sensors
  • Advanced rotation synchronization and slip ratio setting
  • Built-in 6-component force sensor (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
  • Simulated road surface can be applied to drum
  • Drum outer diameter: 3.2m
  • Position resolution: 18,000 P/R
  • Ground Speed: Max. 180 km/h
  • Speed Accuracy: 0.10%
  • Tire Speed: Max. 180 km/h
