Axle load measuring system, function

General

With full air suspension the axle load measuring device measures the respective current axle load via pressure sensors in the air spring bellows on the front and rear axle.

With the axle load measuring device the load on each axle can be called up individually and the vehicle gross weight shown in the display of the instrument (INS).

On 3-axle vehicles with leading or trailing axle the axle load measuring device uses the signals from the pressure sensors fitted as standard on the left and right of the drive axle. An additional pressure sensor is fitted to the axle load measuring device for the measurement of the front axle

No measurement is planned for the leading or trailing axle. The axle load for the additional axles is calculated via the measured values determined at the axles measured.
