Force measurement and testing are essential when it comes to high-performance auto racing. 🏎️ We helped this customer accurately measure the force exerted on their race car’s suspension using four of our 1200 LowProfile Load Cells mounted to the four posts on a suspension rig. The moment-compensating design of the 1200 LowProfile series provided highly accurate readings (0.04%) during off-axis loading and allowed the customer to capture the force exerted on their suspension. https://bit.ly/3YzsZ2l #AutoRacing #HighPerformance #ForceMeasurement #InterfaceSolutions #1200series #LoadCell #Suspension

50 years of Golf = 50 years of innovation! 📅 In 1991, the million-seller reached a level of development maturity that seemed reserved for the luxury class just a few years earlier. Safety aspects were significantly increased. The third generation of driver and front passenger airbags, and later also side airbags, were installed in the vehicle. The Golf III offered numerous engine variants, including an ultra-compact six-cylinder (VR6), the first in the Golf class, and the first turbodiesel direct injection engine. Throwback to Golf history. 😍 #VW #VWGolf #Golf50

These Anthem 70-inch sleepers have joined the Skip Barber Racing School (SBRS) fleet, ensuring their race cars, tools, and equipment travel seamlessly across 8 primary racetracks nationwide. Our #MackAnthem trucks are more than transporters; they're symbols of reliability, efficiency, and visual excellence on the racing circuit. 🏎️🚚 The SBRS Anthems are also equipped with Bendix Wingman Fusion collision avoidance systems, and #MackCommandSteer, a variable steering-assist system that mitigates steering feedback from uneven terrain such as dips, ruts and potholes. Command Steer reacts to those inputs by smoothing the steering response and reducing steering wheel “kicks.” This results in a smoother experience and less fatigue for driver.
