What is the function of wheels?
1 Answers
The main functions of wheels are: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load of the car; 2. Transmitting the torque of traction and braking to ensure the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Reducing and absorbing the vibrations and impact forces during driving, preventing severe vibrations and early damage to automotive components, adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle, reducing driving noise, and ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency. The wheel is a rotating component that bears the load between the tire and the axle, usually composed of two main parts: the rim and the spokes. The rim is the part of the wheel that mounts and supports the tire, while the spokes are the supporting components between the axle and the rim. In addition to the above components, wheels sometimes also include the hub.
