Spindle assembly for a tire or wheel testing machine

摘要

A tire and/or wheel testing machine and method for operating the same allows testing without removal of a drive motor that is only used during some of the tests. One aspect is a testing machine wherein the drive motor is supported by a support member so that the motor axis intersects with a spindle plane having the spindle axis. Another aspect includes a coupling assembly allowing selective decoupling of the motor shaft with the spindle hub.
