What are the components of a vehicle's running system?
1 Answers
The components of a vehicle's running system include the body, axles, wheels, and suspension. The wheels are supported on their respective axles (front axle and rear axle). To reduce vibrations when driving on uneven roads, the axles are connected to the body through elastic suspension, ensuring smooth vehicle operation. The main functions of the vehicle's running system are to integrate the entire vehicle into a cohesive unit, support the vehicle's total weight, receive torque from the transmission system, generate traction between the driving wheels and the road surface, transmit and withstand various reaction forces and moments acting on the wheels, mitigate impacts from uneven road surfaces, and reduce body vibrations.
