Abstract
A mounting device for mounting a driven and/or a drivable wheel of a vehicle. The mounting device makes it possible to measure a drive torque or a drag torque that acts between a wheel and a driveshaft. The torque is transmitted from the driveshaft to the wheel by radial teeth on a bearing inner ring where there is a pressure-sensitive measuring element to measure axial forces as a characteristic of the particular effective torque. In addition, a device to control the distribution of the drive and drag torques acting on the driveable wheels of a vehicle is disclosed. To measure the drive and drag torque distribution, there is a sensor unit on each drivable wheel to measure the torque acting on each wheel.
