Hybrid Force Balance

The advantages of both the singe piece moment balance and the multi-piece force balance; Increased load capacity while maintaining high level of accuracy and lower deflections; unique design permits significant increase in roll moment by reducing allowable normal force.
Calibration Services

Highest accuracy balance calibration system; Applies single component loads, 3 force / 3 moment or 5 force / 1 moment combinations; Able to apply 6 component real world test loads; Full characterization of the balance producing the AIAA Standardized Balance Matrix (6 x 96); Fully automated.
Model Position Systems

Scaleable designs easily integrate into new or existing facilities with minimal impact; Current designs range from 8 in x 8 in supersonic to 8 ft x 12 ft lowspeed: Pitch and yaw centers of rotation are on the center line of the tunnel and maintain location when angle is changed.

AeroFMS

Triumph's Force Measurement Systems group (AeroFMS) embodies a legacy of almost 60 years of force measurement and wind tunnel test experience forged into cutting edge measurement devices. Anticipating the future needs of the aerospace industry has lead the AeroFMS team to examine new systems, sensors, and other advanced approaches to balance technology.
