Plate Force Measurement System
Plate Force Gauge
Sensors and gauges measure the reactive force from the road surface in 6 dimensions at high speed and high accuracy.
Measures force generated by tires as road surface reaction force directly and at high accuracy, which is not possible
with the Wheel Force System (WFS).
