| Abstract | A bi-axial extended octagonal ring (EOR) transducer system for the measurement of tractor-implement forces was designed for a category II and III MB Trac 1300 tractor. The EOR transducers and a gauged top link were calibrated and the Sensitivity, Cross-Sensitivity, Hysteresis, Linearity and Repeatability were found. The system was tested for 80kN applied coincident load and 60kN perpendicular load. No lateral forces or moment in the plane of the two forces was considered. The results of the calibration tests of the system showed its workability. The system could best be used for the measurement of draught (horizontal) and vertical forces where heavy implements are attached with the tractor. |
