for a steering system
To determine variations in toe-out on turns caused by:-
a) track mal-adjustment
b) accident damage
Description
This
novel apparatus consists of a complete model Ackerman linkage mounted
on a board. It is ideal for demonstration or experimental work and is an
aid to understanding the design principles involved. The linkage is
fully adjustable so that the Ackerman angles can be varied. The length
of the track rods may be altered to demonstrate the effect of
mal-adjustment or accident damage.
Stub axle displacement is measured by protractor scales.
This
equipment is part of a range designed to both demonstrate and
experimentally confirm basic engineering principles. Great care has been
given to each item so as to provide wide experimental scope without
unduly complicating or compromising the design. Each piece of apparatus
is self-contained and compact. Setting up time is minimal, and all
measurements are made with the simplest possible instrumentation, so
that the student involvement is purely with the engineering principles
being taught. A complete instruction manual is provided describing the
apparatus, its application, experimental procedure and typical test
results.
