Abstract:
A wheel-force dynamometer (1) for measuring, via force sensors (6), force and torque that act upon a vehicle tire (2a) and a vehicle wheel (2). The vehicle wheel (2) is mounted to rotate by way of a wheel axle. The wheel-force dynamometer (1) is characterized in that the wheel axle is in the form of a rotor (3) which is hydrostatically mounted, axially fixed and able to rotate in the circumferential direction, in a rigid and positionally fixed housing (5).
