High Speed TireScan System

Capture & Analyze Tire Behavior at High Speeds

Tekscan’s High Speed TireScan™ system captures the impact of speed, motion, and inertial forces on a tire at speeds up to 265 km/h (165 mph). The robust array of pressure sensing elements scans at 20 kHz as the tire rolls across it. The software displays the tire shape and pressure distribution while in motion.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Capture repeatable tire patch at velocities of up to 265 kmh
• Data collection procedure streamlines with test plan
• Lightweight wireless electronics & sensor can be retrofit to Flat Track machine or drum 
• Wireless system control and data transfer
• Data can be analyzed in software or exported to ASCII
• Battery and TekDAQ mounting sleeves allow quick setup and easy removal 

Key Applications:

• Characterize tire contact patch behavior at high speeds
• Illustrate tire wear
• Improve patch representation in model formulas
• Evaluate rolling resistance
• Validate existing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models
• Optimize tire selection for vehicle design
