The electrical equipment of the laboratory test rig is used to supply<br />

electrical power to the two electric motors. Variable-speed and braking is<br />

achieved by means of a frequency converter.<br />

The traction force is measured by the force transducer. This device<br />

measures and displays the tension in the towing cable that pulls the carriage<br />

back and forth, by means of two 1000 daN load cells (strain gauge load cells),<br />

provided with ball joints at both ends, which operate in tandem with a<br />

programmable state-of-the-art weighing controller.<br />

The electric motor for cable carriage towing has a power of 5.5 kW and a<br />

speed of 1000 rpm and the electric motor used to drive the carriage powered<br />

wheel has 3 kW, with a speed of 1000 rpm.The carriage travelling speed when it<br />

is towed by the means of the 5.5 kW electric motor is 0.5… 1.55 m/s (1.8…<br />

5.58 km/h). The bin of the test rig was filled with a cambic chernozem soil, with<br />

a loam-clay texture, the size of the aggregates between 0.02… 50 mm and<br />

humidity of 17 to 19 %.<br />

3. Results and Discussions<br />

The laboratory test rig for the study of the interaction between the tyre<br />

wheel and ground and between the active part and ground was tested in two<br />

stages .<br />

In the first stage, the laboratory test rig was tested in order to check the<br />

constructive-functional parameters imposed by design. It has been found that<br />

the designed and built laboratory rig has the following constructive-functional
