Flat plank tester

Flat plank tire tester

The Flat Plank Tire Tester allows to perform various low speed experiments on passenger car and motorcycle tires. In these tests the focus is on the forces and moments that are generated at the tire-road contact point. Examples of tire properties that can be measured are the non-rolling stiffness, parking torque, cornering stiffness, longitudinal slip stiffness, relaxation behavior and obstacle enveloping.
