Load cells temperature effect in force applications for automotive industry requirements

González Espinosa David, Pérez Ramírez Edgar

Abstract

In Technical Development Department of Volkswagen de México (VWM) have been make test to some parts of the cars like body, chassis, interiors, safety and electric. Examples of these tests are the life time of covering of the doors, servo-brake, brake pedal, and others. For these tests generally the standard requirement are -35 °C, ambient temperature (23 °C ± 5 °C) and 80 °C with force applying on the functional parts e. g. 8 000 cycles applying 100 N at every temperature on interior covering of the door; but what happened with the load cell at these different temperature that ambient. This article describes two different responses of the two load cell @ -35 °C and +80 °C.
