The roller brake tester analyses the efficiency of the braking system of a vehicle. From the
test the efficiency value is calculated.
The brake of each wheel is tested with a pair of rollers (

), driven by an electric motor (

).
The brake force induces a reaction force on the electric motor. An electronic transducer with
strain gauges measures these reaction forces.
