Abstract

A test stand for power-transmitting shafts having a test circuit consisting of two parallel test sections in which one shaft each is subjected to torque by a respective torquing clutch; the test stand is so constructed that the torques exerted by the two torquing clutches are identical and additional test loads can be produced by additional movements of one of the reversing gears completing the test circuit.
