A testing machine and method are provided for simulating cornering loads on at least a vehicle component. This testing machine and method includes an actuator having an actuator rod oriented at an angle with respect to a level support surface, the angle being selected as a function of a cornering angle of the vehicle during operation.

Motorcycle cornering simulator

A vehicle suspension assembly having a compact design and low center of gravity application. The suspension assembly includes a first link arm including a plurality of spaced pivot interfaces. A second link arm is coupled to a second pivot interface of the first link arm spaced from a first pivot interface adapted to coupled to a swing arm assembly. A shock absorber is coupled to the first link arm at a third pivot interface which is spaced from the first and second pivot interfaces with the second pivot interface positioned between the first and third pivot interfaces and the second link arm and shock absorber are coupled to a vehicle frame in stacked relation to provide a suspension assembly with a low center of gravity and small moment of inertia for moving linkages.

A transducer assembly adapted for use for measuring forces and moments including a stationary center load axle having an elongated extend extending along an elongated axis between spaced opposed ends. The transducer assembly including first and second load cells interposed in a force path between opposed first and second ends of the load axle measuring applied load in the suspension load path of a two wheel vehicle.
