Vibration displacement measurement in road tests

With cars, tests on the running gears form the basic requirements for driving safety. Here sensors are needed which can also withstand the high demands of road tests. As an example, draw-wire sensors are mounted in parallel to the shock absorbers for the vibration displacement measurement and the data is recorded for varying road-surface quality. The displacement signal obtained is differentiated to give the vibration velocity and vibration acceleration.
