Research Abstract	To enable the high-speed and simple fatigue test by using a motor with misalignment weights, development of fatigue testing machine under bending and/or the torsion conditions as well as fatigue tests were carried out. As a result, by using developed machine, simple and low cost fatigue test can be done even thought it needs several improvements.
