Throttle Control on Three-Point Linkage
The Problem:
This application was intended as a retrofit kit for tractors that do not have automatic throttle control to modulate throttle setting according to loads on the three-point linkage when ploughing or pulling a rigid tine cultivator.
The Solution:
Load pins fitted in place of the link pins during load attachment used ICA5S as signal conditioners to transmit load data to the tractor’s throttle controller. This provided automatic instantaneous adjustment of power setting which reduced both driver fatigue and fuel costs.
Products used in this application:
Embedded Load Cell Amplifier, Strain Gauge Signal Conditioner
ICA S & H
