Overview
The MTS Spinning Wheel Integrated Force Transducer (SWIFT) sensor is a
light-weight, easy-to-use transducer that enables you to conduct faster, less
expensive data acquisition and road simulation testing.
The transducer is designed for use on the test track and public roads as well as in
the test laboratory. It attaches to the test vehicle or an MTS Series 329 Road
Simulator using an adapter and a modified wheel rim.
You can achieve excellent data correlation using the same transducer and vehicle
on the test track or public road and on a road simulator. It is available in several
sizes and materials to fit various vehicle and loading requirements.
Driving a vehicle configured in this way on public roads can pose
unexpected dangers to pedestrians and other vehicle traffic.
Only authorized, licensed drivers, who are experienced driving a vehicle
with SWIFT sensors mounted on it, should be allowed to operate the vehicle
on public roads. Drive the vehicle with the SWIFT sensor attached on closed
courses only until you have proper experience.
Driving a vehicle with SWIFT sensors mounted on it will change the handling
characteristics of the vehicle.
