A force transducer for measuring the dynamic forces on truck wheels has been designed and a prototype constructed. The transducer is a straingauged hub, mounted between the drum and wheel, with minimal displacement of the wheel. It measures the side force normal to the wheel plane, and two perpendicular forces in the wheel plane. These latter forces are resolved by an analog device to provide instantaneous wheel load and braking or driving force. The prototype was calibrated statically and at low driving speeds. The results are presented in a companion Calibration Report FHW/RD-80/134.
