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. Furthermore, actuators are assigned to the floating plate for rotating the part of the floating plate, on which the at least one roller is supported, around the corresponding axis in…
