Wheel Test Rigs

Tires are subjected to very different loads in military use than in the civilian environment. RENK tire test benches are therefore specially designed to meet individual customer requirements and can perform the following tasks:

  • Time- and load-controlled standard test runs according to ECE R54
  • Setting of toe and camber values
  • Slip studies
  • Following a given driving profile (wheel load, wheel speed and dynamic steering angle
  • Rough road simulation
