what is Load Cell Pedals

Load Cell Pedals

1:Customer needs/challenges:

In order to meet certain vehicle safety regulations, pedal force must be measured and recorded. In order to quantify the quality of the braking system, the relationship between the pedal force and the braking force at the axle must be determined during a road parking test or in a simulated indoor environment with a dynamometer to measure the pedal force.

2:Interface solution:

The use of the interface model BPL pedal load cell together with the model wireless telemetry system (WTS) provides a solution that can measure the force applied during the cycle of using the brake pedal. Using wireless telemetry technology with the following interface components, it is possible to use a PC and/or handheld receiver to display and/or record valuable data in real time according to customer requirements and preferences.

3:Result:

Measure and record the relationship between pedal force and axle braking force to ensure compliance with required safety regulations. Any necessary calibration, adjustment or modification of the braking system can be evaluated by whether the results of the brake test fall within the appropriate range of the predetermined test procedure.

4:Material:

4.1:BPL type pedal load cell Pedals (installation equipment-including belt);

4.2:WTS wireless module: –transmitter module LC603–handheld module –base station module;

5: How to run:

5.1: The load of the BPL type pedal load cell is installed on the pedal so that there is no hook gap on the output cable to the transmitter during the entire pedal pumping cycle.

5.2: Install the transmitter Load Cell Pedals in a safe location, so that the cable has enough slack for a complete pedal pumping cycle. The module is transmitted wirelessly to WTS Toolkit App.

5.3: By using the WTS wireless system with the receiver, the force reading of the load cell can be displayed, recorded and drawn directly on the PC. To do this, please insert the Load Cell Pedals receiver into the USB port of your PC, install the WTS Toolkit software, and finally pair the transmitter and receiver according to the instructions in the software documentation.

5.4: By using the WTS wireless system with a handheld receiver, the force reading from the Load Cell Pedals can be displayed on the wireless battery-powered receiver.

6: Application overview:

The manufacturing of brake systems generally requires several stages, from the initial development stage, durability test, test tracking test to mass production to brake test.

7:Instructions for use:

In this test plan, the engineer installed a special pedal force sensor Load Cell Pedals above the pedal to accurately measure the force applied to the brake pedal and test and verify the integrity of the brake system.

7.1: The engineer selects the pedal force sensor Load Cell Pedals of the range according to the needs, and generally will be equipped with a mounting plate to facilitate installation;

7.2: In this test application, the engineer installed the pedal force sensor above the car's brake pedal to accurately measure the force applied to the brake pedal. The test verifies the integrity of the brake system (the measuring range of the sensor is 225N to 2250N, and the accuracy can reach 0.05%);

7.3: The top of the sensor has a certain curvature, this design helps to apply the pedaling force to the center of the sensor;

7.4: Engineers can use handheld display instruments and display instruments to monitor the values, or use the USB collection scheme to directly transmit the sensor data to the computer. The collection software can monitor the sensor values in real time, and the software can read the values of 16-channel sensors at the same time , Can also draw curves and store data.

8:Use products:

Pedal force sensor Load Cell Pedals, and its supporting instruments (USB acquisition module, digital display, handheld instrument and strain amplifier).

9:Uses and features:

Pedal force special sensor Load Cell Pedals, low profile, easy to install, using foil strain gauge technology, high accuracy, stable and reliable performance, this system can also be used for accelerator, clutch, parking brake pedal test.
