Abstract
A dynamometer apparatus having an inside-out motor and a measurement loop which is defined by a load cell. The inside-out motor includes a generally hollow stator shaft through which the motor power cables are festooned. A first set of bearings, located within the measurement loop, support the rotor of the inside-out motor for rotation on the stator shaft. The stator shaft is independently supported on a base structure by a second set of bearings, with the second set of bearings supporting the full weight of the inside-out motor.
