  • Patent number: 11840298
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for measuring and adjusting the parameters of the chassis geometry at a rear axle of a motor vehicle on a production line for the motor vehicle. Gripping and holding means for the rear axle and loading means for the rear axle are associated with the production line. According to the invention, a plurality of interchangeable frames is associated with the production line, and positioning means for positioning one of the interchangeable frames into a position for gripping the rear axle in the production process are associated with the production line. The gripping and holding means for the rear axle and the loading means for the rear axle are associated with the interchangeable frame in question. The interchangeable frames can thereby be matched to rear axles of different vehicle types, such that these different rear axles can be processed in one assembly line.

  • Patent number: 10724925
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wheel mount for a vehicle test bench for motor vehicles having steerable wheels, wherein the wheel mount comprises a floating plate as well as at least one roller supported on the floating plate and movable with the floating plate in a horizontal plane. According to the present invention, the wheel mount has a first working state, in which the part of the floating plate, on which the at least one roller is supported, is rotatably supported around a vertical axis, which is located ahead of the at least one wheel contact point on the at least one roller with respect to the driving direction of a vehicle located in the roller dynamometer. In addition, the wheel mount has a second working state, in which the part of the floating plate, on which the at least one roller is supported, is rotatably supported around a vertical axis, which is located behind the at least one wheel contact point with respect to the driving direction of a vehicle located in the roller dynamometer.
