MC2432, Landing Gear Sensor Platform





- [Preliminary] Designed specifically for the measurement of aircraft landing gear tire impact forces
- Frequently used for continuous measurement of Fx, Fy, and Fz forces during landing gear drop tests
- Constructed from high-strength aluminum with top and bottom mounting provisions
The MC2432 force/torque sensor is intended for research, development, and testing in the field of aircraft landing gear. It excels in applications that demand simultaneous multi-axis measurement of large forces and moments, or when tracking forces that vary in direction and position over time. This description serves as a preliminary overview of its capabilities.
