Abstract
A test stand for a powertrain of a motor vehicle includes at least one loading motor with a motor housing and a motor shaft, at least one load sensor, and at least one positioning module. The motor shaft is configured to be drivingly connected to a hub of the motor vehicle and the load sensor is configured to detect a load transmitted from the motor shaft to the hub. An axial side of the motor housing facing toward the hub is connected rotationally fixed to the at least one positioning module. The motor shaft can be hollow, where a shaft inserted through the hollow shaft can be connected rotationally fixed directly or indirectly to the hub. The load sensor is on an axial side of the motor housing facing away from the hub, and the hollow shaft can be drivingly connected to the shaft by way of the load sensor.
