Chassis Dynamometer Having Mechanical Configuration That Reduces Size While Maintaining Functionality

A dynamometer system may include a first dynamometer roll, a second dynamometer roll, a first motor, and a second motor. The first dynamometer roll is supported for rotation about a rotational axis. The second dynamometer roll is supported for rotation about the rotational axis. The first motor may include an output shaft coupled to the first dynamometer roll for rotation therewith. The first motor may be drivingly connected to the first dynamometer roll at a first location. The second motor may include an output shaft coupled to the second dynamometer roll for rotation therewith. The second motor may be drivingly connected to the second dynamometer roll at a second location. The first motor may be disposed between the first and second locations in a direction extending along the rotational axis. The second location may be disposed between the first and second motors in the direction extending along the rotational axis.
