  • Patent number: 5827956
    Abstract: A measuring wheel detects forces and moments between the rim and axle of a vehicle wheel with measuring sensors between the rim face and a wheel flange apparatus transmits the energy and data to a measurement evaluation and processing system on the vehicle. The wheel flange and/or the front of the rim consists of a fiber compound, while the apparatus on the wheel for transmitting energy and data are fitted on the inside of the rim bed holding the vehicle tire and extends essentially over its circumference. Thus the static properties and dynamic behavior of the measuring wheel during travel correspond to the greatest degree to the original wheel. Effects which falsify the measurements such as increased wheel weight and the like do not arise.
