The BERU f1systems Front Wing Pillar Loadcell is
designed to mount within the standard front wing pillar
space envelope to measure front wing aero forces during on
track testing.
With new regulations banning full scale wind tunnel
testing this new loadcell provides invaluable data for
front wing aero design and car set-up.
One loadcell is fitted within each of the wing pillars and
from the data obtained from the loadcells, it is possible
to determine Lift, Drag, and Centre of Pressure. Aero
shrouds are fitted to the loadcells to provide protection
and ensure the correct aero profile remains, these are
designed and fitted by the customer with guidance from
BERU f1systems.
The loadcells provide 3 pure outputs, Lift, Drag and
Pitching moment (Fz, Fx and My) and from these, the Centre
of Pressure can be calculated.
Each loadcell is individually designed for each chassis manufacturer. From a supplied space envelope of the current wing pillars we are able to adapt the design of the loadcells to suit, taking into consideration the customers preferred fixing arrangements for mounting the loadcell in the structure. We can also mount our High Precision Amplifiers (0 to 5V) local to the loadcell thus reducing any signal noises.
