    摘要: Testing the rolling resistance of a tire is a common procedure in tire testing. The tire testing machine (1) comprises a rolling device (4), a tire mounting device (3) and a driving assembly (2). The driving assembly (2) rotates the rolling device (4) and/or the tire mounting device (3). The rolling device (4) has a drum (5) with an outer peripheral surface (7), while the tire (14) is rotatable mountable on the tire mounting device (3). The tire mounting device (3) is arranged such that the tire (14) engages with the outer peripheral surface (7) of the drum (5). A first torque measuring assembly (12) measures a torque of the drum (5) and a second torque measuring assembly (18) measures a torque of the tire (14). An angular velocity measuring assembly (12) measures and/or calculates the angular velocity of the tire w, and the angular velocity of the drum (ωD).

    摘要: A method and test stand for determining tire properties of a vehicle tire which is rotatably positioned on a rim via a wheel bearing. The interior of vehicle tire is pressurized by a fluid and the vehicle tire is applied with a wheel load. The vehicle tire is accelerated to a final speed in accordance with a pre-determinable speed ramp. The vehicle tire, in accordance with a tire speed, undergoes an oscillation excitation and reacts to the oscillation excitation with an oscillation. The method includes continuously capturing an effective tire force of the vehicle tire in the wheel bearing, due to the oscillation, and creating a data set which shows the tire force over the tire speed and tire frequency, by applying a timing signal of the speed ramp to a Fourier transformation.

    摘要: A running drum arrangement for a tire testing stand having a running drum. The running drum defines an axis of rotation. The running drum has at least one fastener mount and the fastener mount defines a main axis. At least one impact strip is arranged on a radial outer side of the running drum with respect to the axis of rotation. At least one fastener fastens the impact strip to the running drum and the fastener is received in the fastener mount. The running drum arrangement has at least one molded piece. The molded piece is arranged between the running drum and the impact strip. The molded piece forms a form fit, with the running drum and with the impact strip, in a circumferential direction with respect to the axis of rotation.

    摘要: A wheel-force dynamometer (1) for the measurement of forces and torques acting upon a vehicle tire (2a) and a vehicle wheel (2) using force sensors (4, 24, 44). The vehicle wheel (2) is mounted and able to rotate on a wheel axle. The wheel-force dynamometer (1) has a wheel axle that is in the form of a hollow shaft (9, 29, 49) which is hydrostatically mounted on a rigid, fixed in position bearing journal (3, 23, 43).

    摘要: A test bench and a method to predict pressure oscillations in a vehicle tire. The tire is rotatably positioned, via a bearing on a test bench rim, the tire is pressurized with fluid, a load is applied on the tire, the tire is accelerated according to pre-determinable speed ramp to a final speed, the fluid in accordance with the tire speed, undergoes an oscillation excitation, and reacts to the oscillation excitation with a pressure oscillation. The method is characterized in that an effective force of the tire, due to the pressure oscillation, at the bearing is continuously detected, and that a descriptive data set is determined for the tire speed over the frequency, a timing signal of the speed ramp undergoes a Fourier transformation and, in an analogous manner, a reference data set is created through the use of a vehicle rim instead of the test bench rim.

    摘要: Friction disk sets of clutches and brakes are used, for example, in automatic transmissions. In clutch test benches for such clutches, the friction disks are held in a test chamber on inner and outer disk carriers. The test bench arrangement has a clutch unit which includes first and second disk carriers. The first disk carrier can be moved relative to the second disk carrier. A drive input section includes a drive input mechanism for producing relative movement between the first and the second disk carrier. A first driven shaft is mounted by at least one first bearing unit. The first disk carrier is drive-connected, via the first shaft, to the drive input mechanism. The first shaft is mounted to rotate by virtue of the first bearing unit. The test bench arrangement includes a measuring unit for determining a frictional torque of the first bearing unit.
