  • Publication number: 20220229002
    Abstract: This tire electrical resistance measurement device is provided with an inner circumferential-side probe and an outer circumferential-side probe. The inner circumferential-side probe is disposed on the inner circumferential side of a tire and is capable of coming into contact with the inner circumference of the tire. The outer circumferential-side probe is disposed on the outer circumferential side of the tire and is capable of coming into contact with a tread portion of the tire by moving relative to the tire in a radial direction of the tire. The outer circumferential-side probe extends in the width direction of the tire and is deformable in the radial direction so as to follow a protrusion-recess shape of the tread portion in the width direction. The outer circumferential-side probe is electrically conductive at least at a contact surface that comes into contact with the tread portion.

  • Patent number: 11243136
    Abstract: A rotating body load measuring device (100) according to the present invention detects a force acting on a rotating body (30) that is formed in a columnar shape and rotates around a central axis (L60) of a shaft body (60) protruding from a center of an end face, in a state where a main load is applied to the rotating body (30) in a main load direction (P) that is one direction in a radial direction, and includes a load cell (70) having a measurement center (C70) and capable of measuring forces acting in at least three directions with the measurement center (C70) as a reference, in which the load cell (70) is disposed such that the measurement center (C70) and the central axis (L60) overlap when viewed in the main load direction (P), and is connected to the shaft body (60).

  • Patent number: 10295429
    Abstract: A tire balance measurement device includes a rotation drive portion, an eccentric force measurement unit, a calculation unit, and an evaluation unit. The eccentric force measurement unit measures an eccentric force generated in a main shaft. The calculation unit calculates an eccentric amount of the main shaft based on the eccentric force measured by the eccentric force measurement unit. The evaluation unit evaluates the eccentric amount of the main shaft based on a correlation between the eccentric force measured by the eccentric force measurement unit when the main shaft is rotated at a predetermined rotation speed, and the rotation speed.
