Case Study
Since 2007 we have been supplying and supporting an innovative manufacturer of motorsport suspension system testing equipment. Our role began as design consultants on the original coilover load rater used to rate automotive springs and bump stops. Load Cell Central supplies load cells and custom electronics to measure force and distance for this application. The OEM also utilizes other products from Load Cell Central for various racing suspension applications.
We were contacted in 2010 by a vehicle manufacturer needing to improve their quality control by monitoring the force applied by their stamping presses. This customer contacted us after their existing system, a permanent installation of multiple load cells inside the stamping press, failed. The constant cycling of the machine meant the previous solution did not hold up over time. Our fatigue rated load cells ensure that the machine will achieve a much better uptime.
