What is a car chassis generally composed of?
1 Answers
A car chassis consists of four parts: the transmission system, the running system, the steering system, and the braking system. The function of the chassis is to support and install the car engine and its various components, form the overall shape of the car, receive the power from the engine, enable the car to move, and ensure normal driving. The transmission system refers to the power transmission device located between the engine and the driving wheels of the car. The basic function of the transmission system is to receive the power from the engine and transmit it to the driving wheels. The car running system receives the torque transmitted by the engine through the transmission system and, through the adhesion between the driving wheels and the road surface, generates the traction force of the car to ensure normal driving; it also mitigates the impact and vibration caused by uneven road surfaces on the car body as much as possible, ensuring the smoothness of the car's movement; and it cooperates with the car steering system without affecting the car's steering, ensuring the car's handling stability. The steering system generally refers to the steering system. A series of devices used to change or maintain the direction of the car's movement or reverse are called the car steering system. The function of the car steering system is to control the direction of the car's movement according to the driver's will. The braking system generally refers to the braking system. A series of specialized devices that can forcibly reduce the speed of the car. The braking system mainly consists of four parts: the energy supply device, the control device, the transmission device, and the brake. The main functions of the braking system are to slow down or even stop a moving car, maintain a stable speed for a car going downhill, and keep a stopped car stationary.
