Abstract

A device for measuring forces generated by unbalance of a rotor, in particular a motor vehicle wheel, includes a stationary frame, an intermediate frame positioned radially within the stationary frame, and first levers supporting the intermediate frame on the stationary frame. The first levers are arranged along imaginary lines that are either parallel to each other or intersect at a first virtual mounting position. A pivot bearing is supported on the intermediate frame by second levers, which are arranged along imaginary lines that intersect at a second virtual mounting position. Mounted coaxially in the pivot bearing is a measuring shaft, which is rotatable about a common axis of the measuring shaft and the pivot bearing. An outer force sensor measures displacement between the intermediate frame and the stationary frame. An inner force sensor measures displacement between the pivot bearing and the intermediate frame.
