1 Answers
The B-pillar of a car refers to the vertical pillar between the driver's side window glass and the rear side window glass. Here is some relevant information about the B-pillar: 1. Introduction: The B-pillar, also known as the center pillar, is located between the front door and the rear door. 2. Function: It bears the pressure from both the roof and the front and rear doors. Additionally, some additional components, such as the front seat belts, are installed inside the B-pillar. To better achieve force transmission, the B-pillar is often designed to protrude outward. The challenge with the B-pillar is to strike a balance between stiffness and weight. 3. Role: Generally, there are three vertical pillars on either side of the front windshield and the front and rear doors, arranged from front to back as the A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar. Besides serving as part of the door frame, their primary function is to provide structural support.
