Hardware Overview
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 various
sizes and materials to fit various vehicle and loading requirements.
Driving a vehicle with SWIFT sensors mounted on it will change the
handling characteristics of the vehicle.
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.
When driving the vehicle on public roads, you must conform to all local laws and
regulations.
