What Systems Make Up a Car Chassis?
1 Answers
The components of a car chassis are as follows: 1. Powertrain System. The function of the powertrain system is to transmit the engine's power to the driving wheels. The composition of the chassis varies slightly depending on the vehicle type. For example, in trucks and some passenger cars, the chassis typically consists of a clutch, manual transmission, universal joint drive, and drive axle. 2. Running Gear System. The running gear system serves to support and install various component assemblies of the vehicle, transmitting and bearing various loads from both inside and outside the vehicle to ensure normal operation. It mainly comprises the frame (body), axles, suspension, and wheels. 3. Steering System. The steering system ensures the car can move in the direction selected by the driver. It primarily consists of the steering control mechanism, steering gear, and steering linkage. Modern vehicles commonly use power steering systems. 4. Braking System. The braking system enables the car to decelerate, stop, and remain reliably parked. A typical automotive braking system includes two independent braking systems: the service brake system and the parking brake system. Each braking system consists of brakes and brake transmission mechanisms. Modern vehicles' service brake systems are generally equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).
