Apply precise motion or force input(s) into the tire patch or spindle to measure the Kinematic and Compliance deflection (K&C) properties of vehicle suspension and steering assemblies for passenger cars, SUVs, light trucks and commercial vehicles. K&C systems are available with options to determine Center of Gravity and Vehicle Inertia (CG/VIM) or characterize vehicle suspension and steering assemblies under real-world driving maneuvers.
Test Standards C
Employs proven, industry-leading MTS control and measurement technologies
Complete portfolio of static systems for measuring wide array of vehicles and subsystems
Advanced hybrid simulation techniques extend K&C system utility into the early stages of vehicle design
More than 40 K&C systems deployed and supported worldwide
