DEFLECTION TRANSDUCER

The Vulcan Deflection transducer can be installed on several types of truck and trailer suspension components including: steel walking beams, front axles, and thru-trunnions including Mack camel back suspensions.  The transducers mount directly on suspension components, measure the component deflection, and convert the deflection into a corresponding weight.  Deflection transducers can also be placed on load carrying members to provide solutions for other on-board weighing and custom applications.

• Easy to install - mounts on vehicle suspension components or load carrying members
• Easy to operate using proven Vulcan electronics
• Eliminate overweight fines
• Monitor loading or unloading of weights at remote locations
• Save time loading, weighing and adjusting the load
• Reduce time and mileage by minimizing trips to commercial scale
• Reduce maintenance costs by not overloading the vehicle
• Prevent hauling freight in excess of contracted weight

Accuracy: Typically 1-3% GVW depending on application
