1 Answers
The vehicle's running gear system consists of the axle, wheels, frame, and suspension. Below is relevant information about the running gear system: 1. Classification: Common types of running gear systems include wheeled, semi-tracked, wheel-track hybrid, and amphibious types, with wheeled running gear being the most widely used. 2. Functions: Through the adhesion between wheels and the road surface, the torque transmitted from the drivetrain is converted into driving torque for vehicle movement; supports the total vehicle mass and transmits various forces and moments from the road surface to the wheels; cushions impacts, reduces vibrations, and ensures smooth vehicle operation; the running gear system also works in coordination with the steering system to maintain vehicle handling stability.
