Abstract

See full text

The distribution of a specific pressure in the ground-contacting area of a tire (4) under examination is detected by means of a plurality of sensing cells (7) distributed on a plate-like support (8) applied to a rest surface (2) acted upon by the tire through its rolling surface (5). Each sensing cell (7) sends an electric signal correlated with the specific pressure applied thereto to a processing unit (10) through which the processed signals are sent to a display device (12) graphically representing the distribution of the specific pressure in the ground-contacting area. By causing the tire (4) to roll on the rest surface (2) and therefore the sensing cells (7), the dynamic variation of the specific pressures in the ground-contacting area can be detected. A protection sheet (11) interposed between the rolling surface of the tire (4) and the sensing cells (7) protects the latter against risks of damages due to tangential shearing stresses produced at the ground-contacting area.
