Common Problems of the Suspension System
1. Vehicle pulling to one side while driving/Alignment Problem – While driving, the wheels have to point in the proper direction because if they aren’t your vehicle’s steering won’t be…
Components of Suspension System
1. Control Arm: A movable lever that fastens the steering knuckle to the frame of the vehicle. 2. Control Arm Busing: This is a sleeve which allows the control arm to move up and…
Principle of Suspension System
1. There is a need of a flexible connection between the main frame and the wheels of the vehicle in dynamic condition that enables the relative motion between them without causing…
Suspension System Introduction
Suspension is the term given to the system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels. Suspension systems serve a dual purpose — contributing to the…
Mechanical Advantage
Gear teeth are designed so that the number of teeth on a gear is proportional to the radius of its pitch circle, and so that the pitch circles of meshing…
Reverted Gear Train
A reverted gear train is very similar to a compound gear train. They are both used when there is only a small space between the input and output shafts and…
Planetary or Epicyclic Gear Train
Like a compound gear train, planetary trains are used when a large change in speed or power is needed across a small distance. There are four different ways that a…
Simple & Compound Gear Train
Simple Gear Train- The simple gear train is used where there is a large distance to be covered between the input shaft and the output shaft. Each gear in a…
Gear Train
A gear train is formed by mounting gears on a frame so that the teeth of the gears engage. Gear teeth are designed to ensure the pitch circles of engaging gears roll…
How Does Gear Ratio Affects Torque
First....What is torque? Torque is a twisting force- (it doesn't do any 'work' itself- it is simple an application of energy). Work (or 'stuff') happens, when torque is applied and…
