Accurate temperature measurement is critical during tire durability evaluation and high-speed automotive testing. During high-speed and long-duration tire testing, excessive heat buildup can impact tire performance, wear characteristics, fuel efficiency, and long-term durability.
HORIBA non-contact radiation thermometers enable precise temperature measurement of rotating tires during automotive durability and performance testing applications. Because the measurement is non-contact, tire temperatures can be monitored continuously without interfering with the test process.
The fast response speed allows even small temperature changes to be detected during dynamic tire testing conditions.
Tire wear and thermal behavior are also becoming increasingly important topics in research related to non-exhaust emissions and vehicle sustainability.
Temperature monitoring also plays an important role in tire manufacturing and production process optimization.
Useful when:
- Measuring rotating tire temperatures during endurance testing
- Monitoring tire heat buildup during durability testing
- Evaluating tire thermal behavior under continuous load conditions
- Improving repeatability in automotive tire testing environments
- Supporting tire research and vehicle development applications
Benefits:
- Improves visibility into tire thermal performance during testing
- Helps identify excessive heat buildup during endurance evaluation
- Supports more consistent and repeatable tire testing processes
- Enables continuous monitoring without physical sensor contact
- Helps engineers better evaluate tire durability and performance
