Tire Test Stand With A Hexapod Assembly And A Belt

Abstract: The invention relates to a tire test stand (1) with a frame (5); a tire holder (7); a hexapod assembly (9) with six linear drive elements (21), wherein the first end (23) of each of the six linear drive elements (21) is attached to the frame (5) and the second end (25) is attached to the tire holder (7), and a tire (27) with a tread (29) can be attached to the tire holder (7) in a rotatable manner about the rotational axis (31) of the tire; a belt (11); and two rotatably mounted deflecting rollers (13). The deflecting rollers (13) are at least partly looped by the belt (11) so that the belt (11) forms a flat belt section (33) between the deflecting rollers (13), and when the tire (27) is rotatably attached to the tire holder (7), the tire (27) can be brought into a contact position, in which the tread (29) of the tire (27) and the flat belt section (33) are in contact with each other, by adjusting the linear drive elements (21) of the hexapod assembly (27). When the tire (27) and the flat belt section (33) are in contact with each other and the belt (11) is moving relative to the tire (27), the tire (27) rolls on the flat belt section (33).
