ERGOMETER COMPRISING A SENSOR UNIT LOCATED IN THE VICINITY OF A SHAFT BEARING

摘要

The invention relates to an ergometer for equipment, in particular for bicycles (10). Said ergometer comprises a shaft (11), on which at least two drive elements (14, 15) that are offset in an axial direction (12, 13) are mounted and at least one sensor unit (17, 18, 48), located in the immediate vicinity of a bearing (16) for the shaft (11). The sensor unit is used to detect at least one statistic for a force that is exerted on the shaft (11), in particular a statistic for a bearing force. The ergometer also comprises at least one evaluation unit (19, 35). According to the invention, the sensor unit (17, 18, 48) can detect a statistic, which is used by the evaluation unit (19, 35) to separately determine the forces exerted on the two or more drive elements (14, 15).
