Braking and Accelerating Forces Unit

The Braking and Accelerating Forces Unit, allows the calculation of such load transfer by using weights and pulleys. It also allows checking the relationship of the load transfer with the factors on which it depends.

ATENG 12185 — Braking and Accelerating Forces Unit

Bench-top.

Anodized aluminum frame and panels made of painted steel.

• The “ATENG 12185” unit mainly consists of:
  Two plates that simulate the vehicle, one in methacrylate and the other in anodised
  aluminium with different holes to fix the centre of gravity.
  Steel beam load cell.
• Two dial indicators:
• Range: 0 – 20 mm.
• Accuracy: 0.01 mm.
  Two stainless steel weights for the centre of gravity. ATENG 12185 detail
  Two extension springs that prevent excessive horizontal movement of the vehicle structure.
  Fixed and mobile pulleys and hooks to apply different horizontal forces of braking or acceleration and inertia to the vehicle, by means
  of the application of weights.
