What is the function of a torsion bar?
1 Answers
Its function is to reduce vehicle roll during turns and improve ride comfort. 1. Concept: The torsion bar utilizes the reaction force generated when the rod is stressed to maintain similar heights on the left and right sides of the vehicle, preventing tilting. 2. Principle: The hardness of the torsion bar is determined by the material used in its construction, the rod body, rod diameter, length of the rod arm, and the angle formed with the rod body. The longer the rod body, the softer the hardness, whereas a longer rod arm increases its hardness. The anti-roll resistance at the front of the vehicle occurs in conjunction with that at the rear, but due to factors such as the vehicle's weight distribution and other external forces, the front and rear anti-roll resistances may not be balanced.
