ABSTRACT:
An adjustable testing system for supporting a rotating tire against a roadway simulator includes a frame, wherein the tire is mounted on a side of the frame, and a moveable frame. A first linkage joins the moveable frame to the frame allowing the moveable frame to be displaced relative to the frame. A support member is used to mount a wheel of the tire, the support member being mounted to the moveable frame with a second linkage to allow movement of the support member relative to the moveable frame. The assembly is of a compact design for both the first linkage and the second linkage are characterized by two representative planes that intersect with each other on the same side of the frame.
