Dynamic Kinematic & Compliance (K&C) Systems

Apply precise motion and/or force input(s) into the tire patch or spindle to measure traditional Kinematic and Compliance deflection (K&C) properties and characterize vehicle suspension and steering assemblies under dynamic synthetic or real-world transient driving maneuver inputs.  Suitable for passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks, DK&C systems accommodate numerous options to characterize additional vehicle attributes, including CG/VIM, torsional rigidity, etc.
