Abstract:
1. An arrangement for isolating a rotatory mechanical system for a vehicle while it is subjected to a testing process, the rotatory mechanical system being of the type having a rotatory input, the arrangement comprising: a base; an isolation support for supporting the mechanical drive system whereby the mechanical drive system is translatable rotatably with respect to said base; a rotatory driver coupled resiliently to said base and to the rotatory input of the rotatory mechanical system for applying a torque to the rotatory mechanical system and thereby urging the rotatory mechanical system into substantially isolated rotation, said isolation support being translatable in at least one plane of freedom with respect to said base in response to a rotary energy supplied thereto by said rotary driver; and an accelerometer coupled to the rotatory mechanical system for producing an accelerometer signal responsive to variation in the rate of angular displacement.
