1 Answers
Car wheel plastic shell is called fender. Here are the details about the fender: 1. Fender classification: The fender is the outer body panel that covers the wheel, and is divided into front fender and rear fender according to the installation position. 2. Front fender: The front fender is installed at the front wheel and must ensure the maximum limit space when the front wheel rotates and jumps. Therefore, the designer will use the wheel jump diagram to verify whether the design size of the fender is appropriate according to the selected tire model size. 3. Rear fender: The rear fender is slightly arched and convex outward for aerodynamic considerations. The function of the fender is to prevent the sand and mud rolled up by the wheel from splashing to the bottom of the car body during driving. The fender requires the material used to have weather resistance and good forming processability.
