  • Belted transmission system for load motor system, having sprocket that receives belt coupled to load motor
    Patent number: 10809301
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a belted transmission system configured to couple with load motors to provide a load to a device under test. The belted transmission system comprises a spindle coupled with the device under test. The spindle comprises various components configured to facilitate high operational speeds and increased power relative to prior art systems. For example, the spindle comprises a shaft having a larger diameter at one end compared to the other, one or more bearings configured to facilitate rotation of the shaft, and a sprocket coupled to the shaft configured to receive belts coupled to load motors such that the shaft is driven by the one or more belts to turn the spindle and load the device under test. The belted transmission includes a housing configured to enclose the belts and at least a portion of the spindle.
