Article Fulltext (PDF), pp. 95–103
- In this contribution we are dealing with determination the center of gravity of agricultural machine in experimental way. The mathematical algorithm was
based on the basic principles of the static equilibrium equations of the mass. The algorithm was implemented to the environment of PTC® Mathcad Prime® 4.
Processing of experimental data was realized with Microsoft™ Excel® format table importing to the Mathcad Prime® software. Dislocation of center of gravity
we set up for universal systemic carrier Reform Metrac H6X with front end mounted adapter. Measurements was realized with respect to the Slovak technical
standard STN 27 8154. To measuring the mass of machine we used the scales Evocar 2000R manufactured by Tecnoscale Oy. Measuring was cooperated with the
authorized subject Sloveko Ltd. From each measuring was created the weight statement. Measured data was processed with published mathematical procedure
implemented to software and solved the coordinates of center of gravity with error estimation. Obtained result was compared with the manufacturer specification.
