| The above pictures display Kemkraft models 300 battery operated
Mini Inclinometer / Torque system mounted to two different types of Steering
Wheel Gauges (SWG). The left tool is a model 233M2, fixed plate tool,
and the right picture is model 233M5 adjustable tool. The model 300
is a portable audit device (Data Acquisition Unit) designed to measure
both straight ahead steering wheel angle and driving torque of the vehicle
under test. An operator drives the vehicle straight, on a straight
flat road, while holding the knob on the 300Mx fixture. The unit takes
data samples to obtain an average steering wheel angle / straight ahead
torque per vehicle. These average angles and torques can then be
downloaded via a standard serial interface into a personal computer for
SPC purposes. The 300Mx tools mount on the steering wheel, from behind,
for driver safety due to possible air bag inflation.
Because this is a gauge, it must be accurate and repeatable.
We achieve this by designing the 300Mx mechanical fixture to fit the customers’
specific steering wheels. We require samples of the different types
of steering wheels, from the auto plant, to design and balance your model
300 on.
The drawing below displays the model 300 calibration stand.
It is required to calibrate the inclinometer and verify the torque cell.
It comes certified and is traceable to NIST.
These model 300Mx’s are examples of many of the different types of
300 mechanical SWG’s that Kemkraft manufactures for Auto companies.
Kemkraft manufactures a variety of Steering Wheel Gauges for on line production
also. We would be pleased to quote a steering wheel gauge for you. |
