  • Publication number: 20260318783
    Abstract: The invention relates to a roller assembly (100) for a vehicle test stand (1000), having a vertical axis (Z), a transverse axis (Y), and a longitudinal axis (X). The roller assembly (100) comprises a support (10); and a roller set (12) arranged on the support (10), comprising rollers (14, 16) which are arranged parallel to one another and which form a horizontal wheel receiving area. A lifting bar (50) which can be moved in the direction of the vertical axis (Z) is arranged in a clear free space (20) between the two rollers (14, 16), said lifting bar (50) having a floating plate (60) on the upper face. The invention additionally relates to a vehicle test stand (1000) comprising at least one such roller assembly (100), to a method for operating such a vehicle test stand (1000), to a computer program product, to a computer program, and to a computer-readable medium.

  • Patent number: 7779544
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for adjusting the steering wheel of a motor vehicle. The aim of the invention is to enable an automatic adjustment of the steering wheel in the steering clearance center by ‘stabilizing’ or carrying out a steering hysteresis measurement, and the subsequent adjustment of the steering wheel, in a simple, rapid and cost-effective manner. To this end, the invention relates to a method for adjusting the steering wheel of a motor vehicle in the steering wheel clearance center, the method being characterized by the following steps: the floating plates of the vehicle geometry test bed, on which the front wheels of the motor vehicle are arranged, are rotated when the wheels are stopped in order to cause the rotation of steering wheel; the steering wheel angle is determined according to the triggered steering wheel movement; and the steering wheel clearance center is adjusted.
