Apparatus for dynamometer testing of motor vehicles

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6364805
This patent describes an apparatus for dynamometer testing of motor vehicles. The apparatus comprises a dynamometer having a stator, a rotor journalled for rotation in the stator and engageable with a driven vehicle power output shaft for rotation therewith, a stator holder supporting the stator and connected therewith to carry the torque loading on the dynamometer. Means measure the torque loading on the dynamometer, characterised in that the rotor is provided with means for flexurally rigid coupling of the rotor to the driven vehicle shaft adjacent one side of the stator holder in that the greater portion of the stator and the rotor extend in cantilever fashion from the opposite side of the stator holder and in that the stator holder is provided with a ground engaging support.
