The invention discloses a machine wheel pressing arresting cable test device, and relates to the field of machine wheel pressing arresting cable tests. The invention can simulate the machine wheel pressing arresting cable tests by using the finite space, and effectively solves the problem that dynamic responses of the wheel pressure cable are difficult to accurately obtain in the carrier aircraftlanding process. The invention comprises: a rack, a rotating shaft, a stopping cable, an arc-shaped track and an undercarriage. The rack is a pair of opposite supporting frames, two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively arranged on the supporting frames, the arc-shaped track is arranged in the middle of the supporting frames, and the plane of the arc-shaped track is parallel to the radial direction of the rotating shaft. The middle position of the axial direction of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected with the undercarriage, and the undercarriage is provided with a telescopic mechanism. An arresting cable is arranged above the arc-shaped track, and the extending direction of the arresting cable is parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft. The invention utilizes the rotary motion to reduce the requirement of a test field, and meanwhile the invention meets the requirement of higher test speed, has simple device and relatively better structure loading, and is easy to realize.
